Designed for Entertaining
Perhaps the most impressive room in the building, the dining room has huge floor to ceiling windows and patio doors that give immediate access to the gardens. With large oak beams, skylights, cream walls, beautiful light fittings and modern furniture the room exudes class — the perfect environment for a memorable dinner party. The huge oak dining table can accommodate 14 guests in total, with additional seating on the patio.
The dining room is attached to a modern kitchen with all of the modern conveniences that a budding chef might require: Flavel range cooker with four door oven and hob, microwave, kitchen utensils and modern appliances. There is also an outdoor coal BBQ and seating for alfresco dining. Enjoying the beautifully manicured gardens while having a white wine and BBQ dinner is a fantastic way to spend an evening. After dinner you can also enjoy a dip in the outdoor hot tub!
If you prefer to have someone else do the cooking, a chef is available for hire. The chef can prepare a single meal or cater an entire weekend. Drop-off meals are also available and there are some outstanding restaurants within a short drive.
There are five king-sized bedrooms in total, two of which have an ensuite bath or shower. One bedroom is downstairs, with the remainder upstairs. All beds are zip-and-link and can be setup as kingsize doubles or twin beds — capable of sleeping up to 16 people.
The bedrooms are all bright and airy, featuring plush soft furnishings and high quality linen. The colour scheme features some pastel walls with flourishes of timber to remind you of the building’s heritage.
The large lounge room has three huge sofas and a modern entertainment system with flat screen television, iPod dock and DVD player. The games room is just a few steps away and has a full sized pool table for guests to enjoy. There are also some options for the kids with toys, books and DVDs.
