We offer you two bedrooms, one double, one single (can be used as a snug or extra space), a separate lounge and your own bathroom. Also you are welcome to socialise with us in the main family/dining room and full use of the kitchen. We are a young thinking 60 year old and 55 year old couple with a 14 year old cat. No pets sorry.

If you want Sky multiroom it will cost an extra $15.00. Food is your own responsibility and mostly you would just do your own cooking. We work till 6 Tuesday to Friday and 4 on Saturday. You will need your own bedroom furniture. We can supply a 2 seater couch if required. Plenty of space in the pantry and freezer for you. There is room for one car in the garage. You will be responsible for keeping your own area clean and tidy. We like a clean and tidy house but are not OCD.
