A long hallway provides access to the front Living Room (with 65" smart TV) which is a fantastic second area to spread out, and also has internal access to the Garage and Bedroom 1, which features a WIR and ensuite (with shower, toilet, double vanity & heat lamps). The huge central open plan Kitchen (with WIP)/Dining/Living Room (with 85" smart TV & a selection of card & board games) flows out to the rear Outdoor Living area. A side hallway leads to Bedroom 2, 3 and 4 (each with BIR), a fully equipped Laundry (with washing machine & clothes dryer, and direct access to the rear yard), a Bathroom (with bath, shower & heat lamps) and a separate Toilet.

The huge rear partially covered Entertainers Deck (with gas BBQ, 10-seater table and bench seats for more) provides a fantastic place to relax and entertain overlooking the fully enclosed rear yard. The Double Garage (with fold up table tennis table & EV Charger) has space to park 2 cars, with additional space for 1 more car in the driveway.

Note: There are security cameras on the outside of the home, not facing any private areas.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.
