The home has a large living area, spacious kitchen, theatre room, large outdoor entertaining area, study nook and 2 bathrooms with heated towel rails and a deep bath in the 2nd bathroom. The wood heater provides a cosy ambiance during the winter months, in addition to the reverse-cycle air conditioning ensuring your comfort at all times.

The home has been furnished with the utmost care to make your visit here a home from home with high quality furnishings, linen & kitchenware. All amenities are provided: linen, towels, microwave, stove, large fridge, cooking equipment, gas barbecue, TV in living & theatre room; DVDs; games, stereo (with bluetooth), hair dryer, heated towel rails in both bathrooms and ample storage. We also installed gates on the back deck so you can lock in both the little and furry ones. Being built on clay, the home has developed a few squeaks in the floors but nothing major to detract from the overall ambience. For the coffee enthusiast there is a Nespresso Coffee Machine. We have internet wifi, however, it's not the fastest. Also, the location of the house excludes most second tier mobile phone carriers from working well. The home has a telephone for those that need to be contactable and local and national calls are free. The rates are based on twin share. The bedding configuration: - Master Bedroom - Queen bed - Bedroom 2 - 2 x King Singles - Bedroom 3 - Queen bed - Bedroom 4 - Double Bed There is parking for 2 vehicles under the house as well as parking for another 2-3 vehicles off the end of the street. We also have a wheelchair ramp to assist those in need. Guests need to notify us prior to checking so we can ensure the wheelchair ramp is installed in time for their stay. With no street lighting in the area, the stars in the night sky are incredibly bright and at certain times of the year you will easily be able to identify the Southern Cross and the Saucepan constellations and spot the odd satellite passing by from the front verandah. Note: This property does have slopes and gravel pathways so may not be suitable for people who need walking assistance. LOCATION The home is situated only 5 minutes drive from town, located in a quiet cul-de-sac. Situated in the heart of the Blackwood River Valley, there are some great scenic drives throughout the countryside ranging from 3km to 120km. For the nature lovers there are excellent walking trails through the Bridgetown and surrounding areas. IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you have young children they will need to be supervised around the wood heater when it is in use. We want you to have a truly special holiday experience at Leda Lodge, however, this much-loved property is NOT a party house and not suitable for weddings/functions. PET POLICY As dog owners we know how difficult it is to find accommodation that will allow pets which is why we are happy for you to bring your dog. You will need to bring its drinking/food bowls, leash and bedding. The property has farm fencing with plenty of room for dogs to run around. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets both within and outside the property. Pets are not allowed on the furniture or beds. SECURITY There are two security cameras - one on the rear verandah facing the front gate and one on the front verandah facing the front door. They are not activated when guests are staying at the house.
