All cleaning sponges, clothes, gloves etc for kitchen, laundry, bathroom and all other rooms are used once only then disposed of.
The disinfected we use is hospital grade to make sure there is no risk of Covid-19 and the whole house and everything in it is then sprayed with disinfected and left for 36 hours min before the next guests can enter.
This is considerable expense and time and we are trying to keep prices down.

Very comfortable stay in a beautiful setting
The accomodation was very comfortable and clean with easy access and the host was very friendly and thoughtful. The host invited our kids to see a new born calf and delivered farm fresh eggs and home baked bread for breakfast. We had a great stay - thank you.

A lovely holiday experience
We had a lovely time staying at Wantana, thank you so much! Beautiful surrounds, nice and spacious yard. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and nice and clean. Beds comfy, nice spacious fenced off yard so we could enjoy it with the kids and dogs together and see the sunset. Sharee and Bill are lovely, communication is great, and they made us feel at home and like we already knew them. We already have plans for things to do on our next visit. Thank you!

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
I loved every peaceful moment, Sharee was very helpful, considerate and friendly. My cottage had everything I needed and more and was very clean and homely. Loved the large windows and the window seat, while all around me was the beauty of "Country" and the song of several birds and the bleating of sheep. - AAhhh sure would love to return.
