FAQs

It sure is! We’ve got three kids 9 years and under who see Carawirry as their personal wonderland. (But don’t worry, we don’t let them run wild while we have guests staying). We just ask that you keep a good eye on your little adventurers while they’re on the property.

Check-in from 3 pm on your arrival date. And check-out at 10am on your final day. But, if we don’t have a same day changeover, we’re happy to extend your check-out time to 1pm. Just ask us when you arrive and we’ll let you know.

Nope. All cabins are separate (and super private) on Carawirry’s huge 250 acre property.

If digi-detoxes aren’t your style, you can connect to Carawirry’s secure network. Carawirry is connected to Mr Musk’s Starlink Network, so you know the connection is fast and reliable and free for all booked guests.

Heads Up: If you decide not to connect to the WIFI, you will not have mobile service #hardcoredigidetox. That’s not a bad thing in our book!

But, so you know, the smart TVs in each accommodation are permanently connected to the Carawirry WIFI – you can log in to all your streaming channels easy peasy.

So, really, the only reason you’ll need to have access to the WIFI is to reach out to the outside world. #instalove

Since Carawirry’s forest is brimming with wildlife, we don’t allow any pets. Think of it this way, Fido gets a holiday from you too! Just kidding, Fido loves you… But we can assure you, you’ll definitely get your furry friend fix from resident wallaby Skip.
