Enjoy the sound of the birds among the trees

Five minutes walk to the centre of town, this charming fully-furnished family home is set among trees in a quiet location across the road from Gleeson Park. This reserve is mainly lawn and trees with a small playground for children, and is suitable for family games and picnics ... bring your badminton net!
Designed and built by an architect in the 1960s, the quirky home has many interesting features including a narrow sky-view strip that runs the length of the roof. Very little has been modified over the years, apart from the original balcony. This was completely rebuilt (2017) to comply with modern building-safety standards.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small bridge that leads across to an elevated private garden with fruit trees.
While the main bathroom has a shower, toilet and bath, upstairs there's a second toilet with hand basin.
Being a chalet style with open stairs, our holiday home is not ideally suited for wee toddlers or the infirm.
Off street parking is available for up to three vehicles.

The accommodation is awesome and close to town. Very quirky with a spacious living area and plenty of comfy couches and easy chairs for everyone. Lovely and clean, lots of extra bedding should you need it, everything has been thought of to make you comfortable. A large bottle of milk in the fridge welcomed us on arrival - sunscreen, tissues and papertowels were a nice touch too. Our host met us onsite, showed us around and explained how everything worked which was very helpful. Fully recommended.

The house is in a great position and is cute and quirky - the right mix of interesting stuff to make it homely and comfortable, and feeling safe enough to put put your coffee cup down without worrying about upsetting the landlord. A great spot to rest and relax.
