Other Things to Note / Good to Know
Stairs: internal and external: External stairs from driveway; internal staircase to second level
Water: Runs on a hot water cylinder (2 tanks here each 180L) with a set amount, so larger groups should space out showers. If the hot water runs out, please allow 3–4 hours for the tank to reheat
Power: Running too many appliances at once may trip the power
Fire alarm: Sensitive, so please take care when cooking and have the extraction fan turned on
Extra linen and a mid-stay clean are available for a fee.
