Two wood heaters add winter ambience, complemented by reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning, evaporative cooling, a heat-transfer system servicing the main and fourth bedrooms, and ceiling fans in all bedrooms. Heated towel rails, carpeted bedrooms, elegant drapery, security cameras and wireless NBN add comfort and practicality.
