Unit 2 - Upstairs

The upstairs unit is totally seperate to the downstairs unit. They both have private entrances and entertaining areas on opposite sides of the house so it is very private. The entrance to upstairs is on the left side of the house (past the car port) and the entrance to downstairs is on the right side of the house, past the pergola. The only thing you share with people staying in the other unit is the front and back yards and possibly the double car port.

The upstairs unit is more 'open plan' than downstairs, with one huge room combining the kitchen, lounge room, and dining room.

Bedding

The unit sleeps up to 7 people and has the following layout -

Bedroom 1 - Queen size bed plus large mirrored built-in wardrobe and two bed side tables with drawers and bed side lamps.
Bedroom 2 - Two single beds plus large mirrored built-in wardrobe and two bed side tables with drawers and bed side lamps.
Bedroom 3 - One single bed plus overhead cupboard with shelving
Lounge - Double fold-out sofa bed (only used for larger groups)

Bathroom

The bathroom has a full size bath with shower above it. There is a toilet and vanity with large mirror. There is a large washing machine in the bathroom so the bathroom doubles as a laundry.

Kitchen

It is a large kitchen which includes plenty of crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils. Includes fridge/freezer, gas stove, gas oven, large sink and draining board, kettle, and microwave.

Dining Room

The dining room is part of the large open plan living area and has a round table with 4 chairs.

Lounge Room

The lounge room is part of the large living area and includes two 2.5 person sofas (one is also a fold-out bed as mentioned above).

Also included is an entertainment system with TV, DVD player, and stereo.

The lounge room is very bright, open and airy and opens out to a small balcony with a glass table and 2 chairs. All windows have internal vertical blinds and external ajustable awnings that are lowered in summer to keep the unit cool. For the extra hot days (it gets up to about 44 degrees celcius on some days) there is an air-conditioner on the lounge wall.

For the winter months, the unit is fully insulated and the air-conditioner doubles as a heater.

Laundry

As mentioned above, the bathroom doubles as a laundry, with a large family sized washing machine.

Balcony

The outdoor balcony opens from the lounge room, with a glass table and 2 chairs. Great for relaxing with the Sunday paper or having a wine while watching the sun set!

Private Outdoor Area with BBQ

In addition to the balcony, the left side of the house is reserved for the people staying upstairs in unit 2. It is fully under shelter and paved, with a gas barbeque, glass table and 6 chairs. The area includes a small gold fish pond with waterfall. The pond is covered with a wire mesh frame as a safety precaution for small children.

Front Yard

The front yard is fully fenced and has a lawn and a garden which is fully maintained by a professional gardener. It is a 'common area' which is shared between anyone staying at the property (both units). It's a great spot for children to play and this is one of the major benefits of not staying in the inner city in an apartment building.

Back Yard

The back yard is fully fenced and is also a great place for the children to play. It has two washing lines (one for each unit) joined to the back wall of the house.

Carport

There is a double carport which is available for off-street parking. Please note that off-street parking is an optional extra ($20/week) and it is a very tight fit for two large vehicles (like 4 wheel drives or large vans).

Extra Help

The owners (Nick & Janelle) live nearby and are available on their mobile phone if you ever have any questions, including if you want to know the best places to visit, how to find your way around, what to do in Sydney, etc.
