Relax on the deck in the morning sun with your coffee, or in the shade of the evening heat; picking the citrus for your cocktail or the herbs for your dinner. The double bedroom has a spectacular view and sliding doors out to the deck. The two single are in fact king singles and both are electric beds, to make reading in bed easy, as it is all fully adjustable. Cute bathroom with walk-in shower for easy access.

We are 20 minutes drive from the nearest petrol station with household supplies and the Linkwater Tavern.

This is a lovely well appointed property which suited our needs perfectly. Sarah was wonderful to interact with and also very supportive about our dog who also enjoyed her stay, in part because of Sarah’s beautiful dog Nix. I highly recommend. ##### Leslie J.
