Streams of natural light fill a bright, contemporary space decorated in sleek furnishings and light-washed timber flooring. Think: mid-century furniture, patterned feature wallpaper and copper decor; all framed by uninterrupted views of the stunning State Library heritage building that you can see across the road from the grand windows. The open-plan space takes you from the well-lit living area—that features a chic grey couch, coffee table, beautiful copper lamp and TV—to the compact kitchen equipped with new appliances and all the basics you’ll need for your stay including a two-person dining table, dishes and cutlery, small fridge, microwave, gas stovetop and wine glasses. Wake up in a plush double bed dressed in high-quality linen, make use of the convenient built-in mirrored wardrobes and enjoy a bathroom with a rainfall shower head, vanity and toilet. Additional amenities include a dual heating and cooling unit and high-speed Wi-Fi. **Please note, all linen and towels are provided. Some basic necessities are also provided but those that are not are expected to be purchased by the guest. We have found that guests purchase consumables that build up over time. This system seems to work well. **Guests will not have access to the letterbox. If guests want to receive mail they will need to have it sent to the local post office for pick up.
