About this property
Fernando Hideaway, House and/or Sleep out
Kinloch is renowed for its quiet relaxed atmosphere. Our bach has been in the family for 40 years. Everything you need is here.
The price is for the 2 bedroom (2 queen bed) main Lockwood house only The Mattresses are new semi firm Queens, Between the house and sleep out is a paved suntrap great for BBQ and entertaining.
The sleep out is the optional extra which sleeps 5 in an open plan room. It has its own Bathroom and Kitchen. The sleep out is the original batch and is almost original. The sleep out is $100 per night on top of the house rental. Just request it and I will revise the quote
This easy going bach has open plan living which flows out onto a elevated deck looking out over a mature Garden setting.
Whether for one or two couples or a larger group/family, this property suits everyone.
