If Wi-Fi is important, please therefore always have a back up plan.
What about outdoors?
Black Star is set on 5 acres and as it is a rural property, always take care with wildlife or other dangers, please. Most of the property is covered with mowed lawn areas, and there is also an enclosure for goats and alpacas. Guests are welcome to feed them during a stay.
The massive north facing deck, leading directly to the resort style pool is a key feature of Black Star, as per the photos. Black Star is perfect for indoor / outdoor living and relaxing while the kids swim in the pool or play on the lawns.
Stay warm or keeping cool?
Cooling options include opening up the full width folding glass doors across the entire width of the house to catch the breeze, utilising the numerous ceiling fans, or turning on the airconditioners (one in the kitchen / living area) and one in the mezzanine bedroom area which causes cool air to also tumble down to the master bedroom. Heating options include a wall mounted electric heater in the living room (for quick heat), and a Cheminees Philippe glass box log fire that is the centrepiece of the dining and living area.
What about sheets, towels and other supplies?
Black Star supplies high quality linen and bath towels.
Parking for cars, etc?
Black Star has open air parking on the circular driveway for 3 - 4 cars. The property has a security gate at the road.
Is my dog or cat also welcome to stay?
Black Star is pet friendly, however there are alpacas, mini horses and a goat on the property and so pet owners have to be 100% responsible for not letting your pets run under the fenced areas and chase the animals. This is as much to protect your pet as it is to protect the animals on site. It might be best if your pet is kept on a lead if they are around the animals, especially small dogs. Please also note:
- bring your own dog bedding please
- please clean up after your dog
- any damages or excess cleaning will result in extra charges
