Can we book for a leavers celebration?

We do accept leavers, but under some fairly stringent conditions. We’ve been very pleased with most of our leavers groups, and believe in giving them a fair go. There will be a returnable bond payable of $100 each. This is to be paid in cash on arrival and will be returned in cash on your departure after a satisfactory inspection of the house.

Anything else I should know?

The driveway to the house is about 400m long, so away from traffic noise and danger. Be aware that you will approach along gravel roads that can get dusty and occasionally corrugated. Kangaroos and emus roam freely, so drive carefully as they are not traffic wise at all.
