Please note this is an old largely unrenovated house - the bathtub is a bit rusty, creaky doors, peeling paint and wobbly floorboards. It is however thoroughly clean and we provide crisp hotel sheets and towels.

Due to the houses amazing location on the ridge overlooking the Kanimbla valley, the house can occasionally be very windy.

Please note: The 4th bedroom is quite rustic and very small, with a double bed and is only opened when you book for more than 6 guests, or upon request. Please let me know if you require this room to be opened.

The house is located across road from the railway line - hourly trains during the day and occasional freight train at night.
