The kitchen comes complete will all essential utensils, an older style electric stove, small microwave, and an air-fryer with ample storage space for groceries (sorry, no dishwasher). What better way to relax and unwind than in the large family area, where the reverse cycle air-conditioning will keep you comfortable all year round, with the option of using the wood fire heater on a wintry night while catching a movie. Whether you chill out in front of the smart TV, stream a movie* or take in one of the DVDs, play your own music through the Bluetooth stereo, Google Home, or browse to your heart's content using our unlimited NBN WiFi, there should be plenty to keep you entertained. If it's a break away from the technology you are after, grab the rest of the family or friends and play one of the board games. The recently renovated bathroom features a stylish Italian basin and vanity, with a large open shower area and an additional toilet. Underfloor heating offers comfort during the colder months with additional natural light offered through the Velux skylight. Behind the folding doors, you will find the European Laundry, complete with a washing machine, iron and ironing board and all of the essentials a laundry requires. Outdoors, a double electric BBQ lets you enjoy the long summer days, and the yard is fully enclosed (1200mm min. high fence, refer photos), so the four legged members can enjoy a change of scenery as well! Shops, beach#, river, and playgrounds are a short drive away or can be accessed via the path through the nature reserves, which serves both locals and tourists alike. With one of the best beaches along the Surf Coast, a championship Golf Course 100m away, and a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy, our house offers an ideal opportunity for those wanting a good family holiday or just time away from life in the fast lane.

About the host
Hosted by Greg Hopkins
Active middle aged (young at heart) husband and father of three, who has always been involved in sports and who is trying to recapture his early fumbling surfing skills. As someone with a strong family background, sporting captain and coach and current 30 years employer for Civil Engineering consultancy, I would like to think I am loyal and considerate of others, which ensures that each tenant is warmly welcomed.
Why they chose this property
This property satisfied our initial young families needs. Giving our city children a small taste of my wife's rural background with the adjoining parkland, while having one of the best beaches nearby. Will be our long term retirement location.
