The fine print

Must-know information for guests at this property

The area does not receive Council water. We use rain water collection which is double filtered and UV treated. We do not use chemicals or Chlorine so the water coloration may not be as clear as council water. The water is suitable for consumption. On occasions when the collection tanks run low due to less rain, we buy cartage water which is the same as council water - suitable for drinking.

Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Please inform The Black Sparrow of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
