Breakfast will be served at a time that best suits guests' morning
schedule, in the formal dining room. The
breakfast menu will be faxed/emailed/posted, and discussed on the
telephone prior
to the arrival of guests. Wherever possible all foods are home made,
and the marmalade has more scotch in it than orange peel!
The continental, or full-cooked breakfast, will be served by your host, Heather Gaskell. Special dietary needs
should be discussed with her prior to arrival.
Your host will serve morning, afternoon and arrival teas in the
guest sitting room, or at a secluded table overlooking the pool.
Antique china, linen serviettes and silverware will grace the table.
Smoking is not permitted within the residence. Guests at
La Perouse Bed
&
Breakfast can smoke outside in the rear grounds, if other guests
are
not offended.
Bedrooms can be locked by guests during their absence. Privacy and
security are utmost in your host's mind.
The residence has a back to base burglar alarm system, there are
external sensor lights, and car parking is off street, either in the
carport or special car spaces. On arrival, please park in the carport
at the end of the drive.
Do not park out in La Perouse Street - it is a designated 'no
parking' section, and the fines are hefty!
In addition to private bedrooms and bathrooms, other areas have
been specially set aside for guests' usage.
Upstairs, in the central landing area, a mini tourist bureau has been
set up in the oak roll top desk, and this can also be used for writing
sessions.
Downstairs the guests' sitting room is
north facing and therefore delightfully sunny. Ideal as a reading area,
it also has the daily newspaper, TV with DVD player, and
an abundant supply of up-to-date magazines.
The
impressive formal dining room can be used by guests for special
celebrations,
or business meetings.
The swimming pool and rear private gardens are exclusively for the use
of guests. Bath-sheet sized towels and sun lounges are provided for
guests who want to sunbathe and/or swim.
The resident 'toy'
poodles, Sarah and Charlotte, are trained to stay away from guests.
They are as friendly, or distant, as guests' desire. 'The Girls' do not
know they are dogs - please do not tell them!
'The Girls' would be happy to share their daily walk with guests, as
they admire ambassadorial residences, and impressive gardens on route.

This very special
residence has not been decorated with children in mind! There are too
many 'treasures' that your host has collected worldwide, and these
would
provide irresistible to the eyes and hands of young children. 'La
Perouse' is not suitable for children or pets.
Ducted gas
heating ensures cosiness throughout. In addition, each bedroom has a
heater and electric blanket for more direct personal use.
The Edwardian charm of La
Perouse Bed & Breakfast's tranquil decor and
romantic ambience makes it ideal for honeymooners and guests who
appreciate fine china, antique furniture, fascinating bric-a-brac,
delicious foods and speciality "extras".
Your host, Heather
Gaskell,
has travelled extensively around the world and lived in many different
countries. In her 'former lives' she was a Nurse, Maths/Science
Teacher, High School Counsellor, Editor, College Director, Rotary
International Scholar, Visiting Fellow at ANU, Public Relations
Executive, and Real Estate Sales Consultant.
