Garden Retreat with Pool - fully detached Studio

Welcome to our spacious, self-contained studio apartment with vaulted ceilings and air conditioning. Nestled in the garden at the back, it's adjacent to a saltwater pool and overlooks private landscaped gardens.

Completed in January 2023, this purpose-built studio offers a comfy King-size bed, a fully equipped kitchen with a toaster oven, a one-burner induction stovetop, and a full-sized fridge. The modern bathroom includes a shower, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

You'll have access to a shared washing machine in the garage, with an outside line for drying, a second line in the garage for rainy days, and a dryer for emergencies. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available.

There is ample street parking on our wide, quiet residential street.

Freshwater is a safe neighborhood with easy access to town. It’s about a 12-minute drive to catch ferries to Green Island, Fitzroy Island, or Great Barrier Reef tours. There’s also a bike path into town if you prefer cycling. The Northern Beaches are about a 20-minute drive away, and the Tablelands are perfect for a day trip. The international airport is just a 12-minute drive away.

Guest access
Access is through the right-hand front gate, following the fence line to the back of the property. The self-contained suite is located behind and adjacent to the swimming pool.

While the unit could be wheelchair accessible, please note there is one step to the pool deck, and you need to pass through two pool gates to reach the front veranda and door.

Other things to note:

The property owners (three people) live onsite. They won’t use the pool when you’re home, as it is around the corner but adjacent to your deck. However, they might take a dip if you’re out. There's an outdoor shower, toilet, and bathtub that guests are welcome to share with the homeowners.

Please note, this is a large lot within a suburb, so you may hear typical neighborhood sounds like people using their pools, mowing lawns, and occasional dogs barking. Overall, it’s mostly peaceful with occasional neighbor noises.

Not suitable for children or babies.
