Allergies

We aim to present food which is sourced as close to our Guest House as possible, including by growing some in our gardens.  Meals are prepared on-site and we are able to describe the ingredients we use.  With notice and advice we can tailor meals to meet a range of dietary needs including by sourcing alternative ingredients and products where these are available.

We do not keep dogs, cats or other pets on our property so that we can welcome guests who live with an allergy to these animals.

With an awareness that we host guests with a range of personal needs we use the Australian multi-purpose universal surface cleaning product placed in top position by Canstar Blue.  This product is approved by the National Asthma Council of Australia's Sensitive Choice program, Allergy UK, and the Eczema Association of Australasia. The two-ingredient formula (potassium hydroxide and reverse osmosis water) is fragrance-free, phosphate-free, and paraben-free, with none of the additives that commonly trigger asthma, allergic reactions, or eczema flares.

Our laundry detergent uses a dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic formula which is free from dyes and perfumes, making it suitable for individuals with skin sensitivities.  Wherever possible we dry all laundry by exposing it to sunlight in the open air.
