**For the Kids**
Children are very welcome. Please supervise children at all times when outside, especially around gates and fences.

There’s plenty of space to run and explore — bring bikes and head torches for games of spotlight at night.

Kids will love the large trampoline, Ninja Line obstacle course, plus a selection of board games and puzzles.

**Paddocks and Yards**
We sometimes have animals on the property (e.g. cows and sheep). You’re welcome to watch them from a distance, but for safety reasons please do not enter paddocks.

You have full access to the house and surrounding gardens (excluding the garage).

This is a rural property with paddocks, livestock (including a ram), and electric fencing. Expect birds, insects, and typical country sounds.

You’re welcome to enjoy the gardens, lawns, trees, and outdoor seating areas.

Paddocks, stock areas, and sheds must be treated with care — please do not enter.

For safety, children must be supervised at all times when outside.

As this is a working property, we may occasionally need to access the grounds to tend to animals, but we will always respect your privacy and give notice where possible.

No parties or large events without prior approval. Please respect the house, land, neighbours, and animals on the property.

Sushi the farm cat lives on the property and may occasionally come inside via the mudroom where her food is kept. She is friendly but usually keeps to herself — guests are not responsible for feeding or caring for her.

**Other things to note**
Please note this is our family home, so you may notice some personal items.

The property is currently on the market; however, there will be no viewings or open homes during your stay.

**Fire & BBQ Use**
Please take care when using the BBQ and firepit, especially during dry or windy conditions, and follow any local fire restrictions in place during your stay.

After using the BBQ, please clean it and return the cover once cooled, ready for the next guests.
