The Space:
Welcome to 'Tranquil Nature Sactuary', suburban living with a five-acre nature reserve as your backyard bonus.
This private three-bedroom retreat sits at the rear of the home and backs directly onto protected koala habitat. You’ll have your own entrance, living areas, kitchen, bathroom, deck and backyard. The front section may be occupied by the owner or other guests, but it is completely separate, with no shared indoor spaces.
Inside, there’s room for up to seven guests, with two queen bedrooms, a flexible third bedroom (double, King Single and single trundle), a full kitchen, refreshed lounge and dining areas, two toilets, laundry facilities and a back deck that may quickly become everyone’s favourite room.

Covered Back Deck
This is where the home earns its nature-retreat credentials.
The expansive covered deck overlooks the garden and reserve, with an outdoor dining table for eight and a lounge setting with a three-seater sofa and two armchairs.
Start the day with coffee and birdsong, settle in with a book or fire up the BBQ while the kids stretch their legs on the lawn.
Backyard and Nature Reserve
Open the back gate and step directly into five acres of protected parkland and koala habitat.
The reserve offers open green space, children’s play areas and a designated dog exercise area. Keep an eye out for native birds and local wildlife, including the occasional koala quietly judging everyone from above.
A motorhome may occasionally be parked to one side of the backyard. It is usually off exploring the countryside and, when it is home, it sits away from the main guest areas.
Firepit
When local conditions allow, gather around the firepit for an evening beneath the stars.
One bag of firewood is provided. Additional bags are available for $35 each; simply enquire during your stay.
Guests must follow all local fire restrictions and the instructions provided at the property.
Herb and Vegetable Garden
Guests are welcome to pick fresh herbs and any seasonal produce ready during their stay.
