The House

*2 bedrooms: 1 queen bed, and 1 tri-bunk room (double below and a single at the top).
*A barbecue on the spacious deck. Slow Cooker for hearty winter dishes or easy summer dishes.
* Linnen/ towels are provided.
* New oven/ dishwasher/ washing machine and work area.
* Filter coffee machine, french press and Nespresso coffee machine (pods provided), hot chocolate/cappuccino/ tea provided.
* Air-conditioning to heat and cool the whole house fast. Extra heaters and ceiling fans in every room.
* Modern and clean furnishings.

Working Remotely

* Remote working: NBN, Wifi, I usually work from the lounge or dining table whilst enjoying the lake views, when it is warm I enjoy the deck too. Lake views and the trees increase my productivity and my creative thinking and solutions. When I need to change positions I move to the kitchen bench so I can stand or sit on a bar stool. A new desk, ergonomic/ comfy chair, laptop stand and power surge are available in the second bedroom. I personally love working from here.

The Garden

* The yard is not fenced but the balcony at the back is.
* To access the house, there are stairs from the carpark to the house (see photo if you like to see what it looks like).
* There is an old bush path to the lake but it is not a walking track, and it is steep and rocky. The old path is surrounded by lush vegetation created by the natural beauty of the area, and can grow over the old bush path.

Driving Distances

* Car: 3 hrs north of Sydney, 1.5 hours from Newcastle, beaches 10 minutes, golf 10 minutes, lake 1 minute, boat ramp 5 minutes.

Local Activities

* Sports and activities (charges may apply): Whale watching, fishing, water skiing, canoeing, sailing, surfing, kite and wind surfing, snorkeling, scubadiving, swimming, kayaking, walking, cycling, running, tennis court, gym, horseback riding, art galleries, live music/performance, cooking class, and tour or class about local culture.

*Toast Marshmallows over the open fire pit or on the deck with a lovely glass of wine or beer while you watch the sunset. Wood and marshmallows provided in winter. Or snuggle up with a complimentary hot drink and extra blankets and enjoy the view from the cosy lounge, dining table or deck.
