The large backyard is fully secure and child friendly. There is a dam in the valley. It is important to supervise children at all times when both inside and outside the yard. The hot tub is fully fenced, but again children should be supervised at all times when outside, or when in the hot tub. The hot tub is not recommended for infants under the age of 12 months or in pregnancy. The house is supplied by natural rain water. By virtue of this the water pressure is low and can be tricky to regulate - please be aware of this when showering. We would be grateful if you could please use the water carefully. We have UV filters for the taps in the kitchen so the water is safe to drink. Guest access As our guests, you will have exclusive access to the house and grounds. The bedrooms are made available according to the number of guests, or as requested/required. The cottage and main shed are NOT to be accessed.
