The beautiful Jarrah floors, complemented by cozy throw rugs, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The artwork on the walls will transport you back to a time when life felt simpler, adding a nostalgic charm to the space.

The kitchen is a true homage to the early 1960s—the era when the house was originally built—complete with a built-in laundry for added convenience. Every element has been thoughtfully chosen to enhance your comfort. IMPORTANT NOTE: The bathroom is an ensuite off the main bedroom, which may affect the privacy of a third guest.

They also sell the best artisan sour dough bread directly from the markets. Further down the road in the opposite direction at Villeroy’s restaurant a superb dinner service, along with breakfast and lunch, are on offer at very reasonable prices.
