Completing the home is a dedicated second living zone positioned at the rear, providing a secluded escape for children or a tranquil spot for reading, relaxation, or work (desk provided). Step outside to the rear deck and courtyard, where the private garden calls for alfresco dining or a peaceful morning coffee, surrounded by the gentle sounds of birds in this quiet neighbourhood. Bring your pet (subject to approval at the time of booking), there’s plenty of space for the kids and dog to play in the secure fenced backyard, complete with an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand.
