With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, it is a large house sleeping up to 12 people, with wide verandas leading onto the expansive lawns and gardens surrounding the house.
Enter into the open plan living area featuring comfy lounges around a wood fireplace, and looking out onto the gardens and bushland beyond. The very well equipped kitchen features a Falcon 1100mm oven as the centerpiece, ready for cooking up a feast to share together around the recycled timber dining table. The kitchen also has a Breville coffee machine with inbuilt grinder, dishwasher, microwave, pantry with essential cooking items, and is fully equipped with saucepans, cooking items and utencils. Whitewashed timber cathedral ceilings, Vic Ash hardwood floors throughout, and floor to ceiling windows gives an open and airy feel to the entire space.

The family friendly floorplan has two bedrooms wings coming off from the main central open plan living area.
The main bedroom suite is off this main living area, and includes a large bedroom with queen size bed and sliding door direct verandah access, walk in robe and ensuite with shower. Wall heater and ceiling fan help to control the temperature in the room in all seasons. Off the other wing from the main living area is a passage leading to 3 further bedrooms. Another main queen bedroom has an ensuite with shower and walk in robe. The third bedroom also has a queen size bed, and the fourth bedroom has two sets of tri-bunk beds (a double on the bottom bunk and a single on the top bunk.) This is an ideal kids room, and can sleep up to 6 people in this room. A family bathroom is in this wing as well, with a bath and shower, there is also a separate powder room, and dedicated laundry with washing machine and dryer. Each bedroom has ceiling fans.

The entry deck has a large outdoor dining setting and BBQ - the perfect place for breakfast cook ups in the morning sun or evening dinners. Follow the sun around the property with multiple sitting areas for morning coffee, quiet reading nooks, or happy hour laughs. Extensive grounds and gardens include large lawn areas, large established trees, garden beds and native plants attracting birdlife, a cubbyhouse and an outdoor firepit area (only for use during times when fire restrictions not in force.)
The entry has a large carport for undercover parking for up to four cars, and there is a gravel roundabout around a large established garden for easy drive in, drive out accessibility. The carport also provides an undercover space with a basketball ring for the kids (and big kids) to practice.

Summary: A great house to stay in with friends or family! We loved sharing dinner on the deck/verandah together whilst the kids ran around the garden or played in the cubby/slide. We saw a Koala on a tree in the garden and had stunning views! Kitchen/bathrooms all modern and clean, excellent working order. Only thing is a bedside light would’ve been handy in the kids room but next time we go away we will pack our night lights! Lovely holiday in a wonderful place, we enjoyed nearby beach and pub too. Thanks for having us.
