Indoor Areas

The large open plan Living/Dining/Kitchen (with 50" smart TV & Coonara-style wood heater) flows through to Bedroom 1, the first Bathroom (with shower & toilet), and Bedroom 2 & 3 (each with BIR).

Entertaining is a dream, with a Servery window from the Kitchen opening straight onto the fully covered rear deck (with gas BBQ, 8-seater table, 32" TV with chromecast, 2-seater couch and cafe blinds) which overlooks the fully enclosed rear yard and is perfect for families, featuring table & chairs, a sun umbrella, a trampoline for the kids, and a hot/cold outdoor shower. There are some furniture items on the deck that guests should feel welcome to move onto the grass to use (2 black chairs and a lounge set). The deck itself also has clear blinds that are able to be opened or closed to make the space functional regardless of the weather and conditions.

The front yard is also enclosed, and there is parking for up to 3 vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the carport and driveway (the Garage is not for guest use).
