Summary:
Welcome to your home away from home! Tucked away in the peaceful neighbourhood of Plainland, this gorgeous 4-bedroom retreat is everything you need for a truly memorable stay. Whether you're gathering with family or friends, this spacious, light-filled home wraps you in comfort from the moment you arrive — and yes, your little four-legged companions are welcome too! 🐾
The Space:
From the second you step inside, you'll feel right at ease. The beautifully appointed open-plan living area is made for togetherness — sink into plush seating for five, catch your favourite shows on the large Smart TV, or simply unwind surrounded by lush greenery and the cosy charm of soft carpet underfoot. Travelling with a bigger group? The sofa bed has you covered!
Mealtimes are a joy here. Gather around the generous dining table that seats six, or pull up a stool at the kitchen counter for a casual breakfast catch-up. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze — with a gas stove and oven, coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave, and everything in between. Your morning cup of coffee? Sorted. ☕
When it's time to rest, each of the four beautifully appointed bedrooms is ready to deliver the perfect night's sleep — three dressed with comfortable queen beds and one with a single. Every room features ceiling fans and heaters, and the master bedroom enjoys the bonus of air conditioning for those warmer nights. You'll find crisp, hotel-quality linen throughout, because you deserve nothing less!
Step outside through the lounge and discover your own private garden — a lovely little escape for quiet evening moments. And if you need to get a little work done, a handy study nook near the entrance means you can be productive without missing a beat.
