Ribbonwood has three separate bedrooms:
Bedroom 1 & 2 are both on the ground floor and can both be configured as twins or super-kings. Bedroom 1 has a set of drawers and a feeling of being nestled in the trees and bushes outside. Bedroom 2 has a wardrobe and looks out past the entrance to the trees beyond.
Bedroom 3 upstairs has a queen bed and a stunning view of the huge gum trees that surround the cottage.
The open plan space upstairs can be used as a second lounge, a work or yoga space or a fourth bedroom. The sofa in this room can be folded out to make a kingsize bed or one or two singles depending on your needs. Both the upstairs rooms have skylights that bring in a sense of space and light.
For those with babies we have a portacot and high chair available.
All linen is provided.
Your hosts, Sue and Runar live in a seperate house on the property. We are available to welcome you, help you settle in and make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
