With everything you need at your fingertips, from table tennis to relaxing spaces, you'll quickly lose track of time and be wholly encapsulated with the joy that this home brings.
Spend your days sitting out by the fireplace cozied up with a glass of wine in hand, embracing the peaceful atmosphere or head upstairs and walk along the bridge over the mezzanine to find yourself overlooking panoramic views of the stunning the river valley.
From day time adventures down by the lake, just a 3-minutes drive away or wine tasting the finest selection of wines on offer at the Omori Estate 2-minutes down the road, or stop by the Floating Rock Cafe just a 2-min walk away and explore their renown pizza menu. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway!
