The adjoining large deck is ideal for entertaining and provides beautiful views out to the creek.
There are two carpeted double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom has a luxurious new ensuite with underfloor heating beneath the honed and filled Travertine tiles. Underfloor heating is also provided in the family bathroom. There is a separate laundry and linen closet.

Wifi internet access is available in both houses.
