Why they chose this property
The open plan living area of the house boasts a sunny lounge and dining table which allows you to sit and relax while taking in the views of the Remarkable Mountains. The house has a lovely fully equipped modern kitchen. The corner hanging chair just yells of grabbing a good book and a drink (wine or coffee depending on the time of day) and making yourself comfortable - you may never want to leave.
The fully equipped kitchen is a great place to prepare some fantastic local foods for your family or group. Can't you just imagine the smells you could come home to after a days skiing or exploring if you put the slow cooker on before you headed out for the day. We also have a rice cooker, air fryer and sandwich press to give you a variety of cooking options.
There is a cosy TV room featuring a flat screen smart TV which has Free 2 Air and is Netflix capable. We also have a Playstation 4
There are four bedrooms to choose from Bedroom 1 = King bed with Ensuite Bedroom 2 = Queen bed Bedroom 3 = Queen bed Bedroom 4 = 1 Single bed with the addition of a trundle to make it 2 singles if required
