Wander down the hallway to the inviting main living space where a cosy central fireplace, large smart TV and plush L-shaped sofa with chaise awaits. This room is perfect for family movie nights or those long, overdue evenings with friends.

The second bedroom has a Queen bed, built-in robe and overhead fan. Next door the main bathroom features a walk-in shower, separate bath with a separate toilet just beside it. The third bedroom is made for kids with three singles and trundle in a fun Criss-Cross Bunk format, ceiling fan and built-in robes.
