The 3 bedrooms all have large windows and built-in mirrored wardrobes, one with a King bed and the others with Queen beds. Quality designer bed linen and bath towels are provided for each guest. Reverse cycle air conditioning/heating unit in the open planned living space, and fans in every room. In the cooler months, enjoy the extra warmth in bed from the Sherpa wool and fleece blankets.
