Because of our proximity to the Marino Rocks train station we encourage light sleepers to use ear plugs. We have these on hand if you need some. While we are used to the morning train sounds and level crossing you may find these slightly disturbing on your first night. More so during the M-F commute hrs, in the early morning than at night. Train sounds are much less on the weekends. While these do not bother us or most people, light sleepers could find these new sounds disruptive at first. The trains are all electric and very quiet and the traffic warning bells have been deliberately softened and muted to accommodate all of the neighborhood.
Otherwise, generally the home and guest suite are very peaceful, tranquil and conducive to a relaxing stay be it for work or pleasure. And fully kitted to make your stay comfortable if not perfect. That is our goal.
If you would like daily breakfast included in your stay (or any other meals) please let us know. Ebike hire is also available
