The space The unit is fully self-contained. The backyard and pool are with shared with the owners, as well as the laundry. However, aside from checking pool chemicals regularly and tending to the worm farm every morning, we are rarely in the space.
We have a couple of small very friendly dogs (1 only there occasionally). The pool area is clean and tidy with a new, partially shaded deck to lounge on.
We will always respect your privacy but are available for questions and advice as needed.
As this flat is under a main residence there is some noise from footfall, and the main entrance, so if absolute quiet is your desire this may not be the property for you, but as we're family friendly, we don't mind the noise of the kids playing, so please don't worry!
Guest access All areas of the flat, backyard and pool. There is a dividing door between the flat and the main house which is kept locked to maintain privacy.
Other things to note Please note that the dog that lives full time at the house is older and so may not enjoy younger or more energetic dogs jumping on him. Please be mindful.
Please ensure to dispose of any of your pet's poo from the garden.

North Creek Escape
Close to the beach and only a few minutes from shopping. This two bedroom unit was spacious, quiet and comfortable. A large swimming pool and lots of things to do indoors with games jigsaws and books to fill in on wet days. Would definitely stay again.
