We've included a floor plan in our pictures, but it's ideally suited for two families. It's all on one level, so perfect for the grandparents as well! THE POOL The pool and spa are without doubt one of the stand out features of the property. Being North facing, it gets sun all day, from dawn to dusk. And yes, it does have a palm tree in the middle of it, to give it that 'Palm Springs' feel. ** It is a Mineral/Magnesium for pure indulgence. Say goodbye to green hair for kids, and soak up the natural benefits for your skin. The pool has a 'beach profile' with it gently sloping from the shallow end (approx 15cm deep) to the deep end (approx 2m deep). This makes it perfect for wallowing around and enjoying drinks on a sunny day and for younger kids. Pool heating is included as part of the nightly rate in the summer - which are the months of December, January & February. It will be heated to about 28 degrees for your stay. This is the same temperature as most public outside pools. So not hot, but warm enough to swim. (As a comparison, Port Philip Bay ranges between 12 degrees in July, to 20 in the middle of summer). Pool heating is automated and as we do not have solar heating, heating is done via a gas heater. (If you would like the pool heated in the months of March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October or November, we can offer this at an extra $250 per day. It’s very expensive as it’s gas heated (gas prices have gone up 50% over the past 3 years alone) and needs to be turned on 2 days prior to your arrival and remain on 24/7. Also, the maximum temperature will vary depending on which month you come. March will be high 20's, August mid 20's. This is due the size of the pool and ambient outside temperature). You can control the spa temperature on demand, which takes about an hour to heat up to about 38 degrees. You cannot change pool temperature. As you can see from the floor plan, all rooms in the house not only face the pool, but also have direct access to the pool. The pool is fully enclosed with a glass safety pool fence to give you extra piece of mind if you have young children.
