We loved being able to walk out on the patio and sit to listen to the birds and take in the sight of the Harbour bridge, especially at night when it was lit. We also liked being able to walk to the shops just up the hill for food when needed. The yard was fenced for the dogs and had ample room for them to run and play. Plenty of beds to accomodate all 6 of us too. Loved the bunks and so did the kids.
