Alternatively, you may wish to enjoy the second lounge and choose from our selection of games or books to while away a lazy hour or two.
There is ducted heating and cooling throughout the homestead plus panel heaters and ceiling fans in some rooms including the covered outdoor area.
The main homestead features 4 well-appointed bedrooms (7 beds in total) with stunning garden views from every room. The bedroom options are as follows:

Our kitchen is the heart of the home and is fully equipped with full size fridge, large 90cm cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher, microwave and quality dinnerware and appliances. It is located adjacent to the large 12 seat dining room with stunning rural views. The covered outdoor dining area and pool is also just around the corner - on those warm summer mornings you can step straight from the kitchen to the private outdoor BBQ area to enjoy a cool beverage or dip in the pool.
Original artwork and designer furniture decorate this stylish home, the features are too many to include, however rest assured every space has been interior designed with comfort, practicality and serenity at front of mind.
