The long central Hallway provides access to Bedroom 1, featuring a WIR and ensuite (with shower & toilet), Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 (each with BIR), a Bathroom (with bath & shower), separate Toilet and fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine and clothes dryer). At the rear of the home is the large open plan Family/Dining/Kitchen Room (with 55" smart TV, chromecast, fetch box & bluetooth speaker) that leads out to the rear Alfresco.

Outdoor Areas

The rear covered Alfresco (with gas BBQ and table & chairs for 8 people) overlooks the enclosed rear yard, which is perfect for children. While the Garage is not accessible to guests, there is parking for 1 car on the driveway, plus many street parking bays for additional vehicles (cars and/or a boat).

Across the road is the huge Shoalhaven Playground, with a family picnic area, electric BBQs, swings, slides, undercover seating, plenty of open spaces for ball games, walking and bike riding paths.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.
