Relax & unwind in this stylish 2 bedroom unit (attached to the main dwelling). Enjoy a thoughtfully designed space with fully equipped kitchen, laundry & modern bathroom with a separate toilet. Stay cozy year-round with underfloor heating throughout the unit. Step outside onto the private deck, complete with a BBQ & enjoy outdoor dining & take in the beauty of the large native garden at the rear of the property. It is the ideal home base for exploring the area or simply kicking back in comfort
