Charming Large Home | Perfect for Families, Groups & Business Stays, great value

Blending elegant modern design with beautiful heritage features, including original wood panelling, a grand stairwell, and a gorgeous clawfoot bath, this home offers a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of space for families, large groups, on-site conferences, and retreats.

The layout has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience, with five generously sized bedrooms — two featuring private ensuites — and three bathrooms plus an additional separate toilet. Whether you're relaxing after a day out or spending time with loved ones, the open-plan living and dining areas provide an ideal setting. Guests have commented that the "spacious living areas and large lounge meant we had plenty of space to enjoy our stay," and particularly appreciated extras like the pool table in the garage.

The fully equipped kitchen (including a rice cooker) makes preparing meals easy, and complimentary toiletries are provided for your convenience. On-site parking and secure 24/7 access ensure a hassle-free stay. As one guest shared, the "comfortable beds, large bedrooms, and fantastic amenities" made their experience truly memorable.

Many guests have loved the convenience, with one noting the house is "conveniently located right next door to takeaways, a bottle shop and bakery."
