HEATING AND COOLING:

Bowman Retreat is fitted with ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout, controlled via the Daikin panel located upstairs. Each of the four bedrooms also features a ceiling fan with remote control next to the light switch. Leaving bedroom doors open allows the ducted system to circulate comfortably through the upstairs living retreat.



COME INSIDE THE HOME:

Honey Homes is a network of distinctive regional stays, where every home and every stay is held to our Golden Standard.

The downstairs living areas flow easily from the open-plan kitchen and dining through to the family room and out to the enclosed alfresco patio, making everyday gatherings and longer stays equally workable. The dedicated media room offers a quieter space for film nights with surround sound and a 77-inch screen. Upstairs, four bedrooms and an additional sitting retreat give groups and families room to spread out, with block-out blinds in every bedroom for unbroken sleep. The home is well suited to shift workers, travelling professionals, and multi-generational stays.
