EVERYTHING included! Room, furnishings, electricity, internet, food.
You're invited to come and share our happy, very large and easygoing home which includes a young cat (2 years old - Jelly Bean) and a puppy (13 months - Noodle).
It's a large modern house set 65m off a main road, so it's very quiet. There's a bus stop right outside the door which goes to the city, Fortitude Valley, South Bank, etc., and on the other side of the road the bus goes to Garden City. We're just a few minutes from Griffith University Nathan campus.
There is a separate TV room/library, swimming pool, large outdoor dining and sitting area, barbeque, and a fireplace (which is rarely used!)
The available bedroom has a double-sized bed, bedside table, lamp, a built-in wardrobe, bookcase, desk and chair. The windows are insect-screened. We supply bed and bath linen which you wash yourself. You are also responsible for cleaning your own room (and I supply all the cleaning products).
The bedroom has network and wi-fi access (as does the whole house). We cook dinner six nights a week (you take care of yourself on Saturday night) and help yourself to breakfast and lunch - there are always things like tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cereal, bread, butter, jam, fruit, etc.
The weekly board is $200 for one person, or $300 for two people. That includes EVERYTHING - food, internet, electricity, etc.
We don't have a lot of rules - be considerate of others (don't be noisy when people are sleeping), clean up thoroughly after yourself (kitchen, bathroom, communal areas, etc), and smoke outside. Although if I'm smoking, I smoke inside - I'm a partly successful quitter.
We do not cater for special dietary requirements.
Parking is off-street ONLY. There is no storage outside your room.
If you'd like more information or would like to meet us, email or 'phone. When I'm working I have my 'phone turned off, so please leave a message.
Look forward to meeting you! Cath & Ben
