You can walk in the door, plonk your things down and put your feet up. The kitchen had milk, bread, tea, coffee and pantry items ready to go so you don't need to rush off to the shops on arrival. This was really convenient. Keyless entry meant we were able to arrive at a ridiculous hour and not cause any inconvenience to our host. Nigel lives close by and is able to help you out if needed, he is a thoughtful and caring host. The property has a great outlook over Lake Joondalup, a large covered patio area and a covered washing line (we were able to dry washing on rainy days due to low humidity and a good breeze.)
There are kilometers of bike/walking trails around the lake just minutes away by foot. There is also a local shopping centre close by and a major shopping centre 5 mins away by car.
Edgewater is a quiet suburban area with plenty of native birdlife to enjoy. A 10-15 minute drive will have you at the beach, 30 mins will get you to Perth. The local public transport is good, but a hire car is more convenient to get around the wider area.
