The property is a newly renovated self-contained apartment underneath the main residence with lovely views across Brisbane Water.
The kitchen is fully equipped and fitted with new appliances, and the luxury bathroom has twin showers and a big bath.
There are two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, and adjoining sunroom, opening onto the courtyard.
The living space comprises a warm and inviting lounge area with large screen TV, a light, bright sunroom/dining area and a big deck overlooking the pool, and with lovely views.
From the moment you arrive you can relax. Curl up in front of the TV with a cup of tea or coffee (and a little treat), or grab a drink (and a snack) to enjoy on the deck while the sun goes down. We’ll even pop some wine and beer in the fridge.
The kitchen is stocked with pantry basics, and the ingredients for a delicious cooked breakfast.
