About this property
Perfect city living 700m to the centre and 50m to the beautiful Queens Park .
This lovely sunny front house sits a stones throw from the beautiful Queens park and a comfortable 1 0 minute walk to the city centre. The house has a 8.0 kw heat pump but its sunny aspect warms this house up so well .
Views of Queens park from full length windows and the veranda are an added attraction .
The master bedroom has a very comfortable new queen bed and double wardrobe . The second bedroom has a new king bed that can split into two singles if required .
There is a shower and a bath in the central bathroom with a separate toilet next door.
Open plan living with a huge couch sits well with the neat and tidy kitchen.
Off street parking including a garage is a nice bonus.
There is a washing machine and drier in a seperate laundry with outside access to the washing line.
The garden is full of cottage flowers and is an added attraction .

About the host
Hosted by gordot285
Gordon and Viv have been in the Invercargill area since 1994 . Gordon was born in UK and met Viv on her Overseas Experience ( O E ) at a barn dance in Oxford UK !
Viv's family is from Cheviot North Canterbury and so after getting married on the hill country family home in 1990 and settling back to Devon UK the offer of a job when visiting in 1993 was accepted ! Gordon worked for MAF( Agriculture New Zealand ) from Invercargill and stayed with Agriculture New Zealand working from Gore as well .
In 1997 they purchased their slice of heaven ( 37 Acres ) in Hedgehope 25 minutes north of Invercargill . Their two adult Kids (!) Ellen and Ben enjoyed a country style up bringing . Ellen was born in Torquay Devon and Ben Invercargill .
Every 3 years they would go back to the UK and break the journey up in Los Angeles so Disney land was a great treat !
As a family they have travelled to many places in the world and got to understand what's important to travellers . The essentials are a clean tidy set up with comfortable mattresses !! They have put these experiences to good use in setting up two BOOKABACH houses in Te Anau and have now added this Invercargill property to their Portfolio . They recognise the uniqueness that Southland has to offer and now with the Auckland - Invercargill direct flights they knew this was the perfect opportunity to offer a clean and tidy place to stay at a new gateway to the Deep South of New Zealand.
They are really pleased with this house and look forward to sharing it with you !
