"Blue Wren & Platypus Retreat." Award winning Stone Lodge

"BLUE WREN HAVEN" set on 1.56 HA's

As soon as you enter the property, you feel whatever chaos the world or you are in behind you, and a sensation of peace and tranquillity comes over you.
This property boasts numerous features that no other property can offer, thanks to its attention to detail and engineered monochromatic LED lighting throughout the lodge.
Designed by a fully qualified lighting engineer, the LED lighting has a switchable monochromatic or fixed colour temperature output for specific reasons.
Bedrooms, living, Dining, and Teenagers' retreat areas fitted with switchable LED light fittings, suitable for people diagnosed with Lupus or those who suffer from migraines or seizures. These lights, at the flick of the switch, can change their colour spectrum output to suit individual comfort needs.

All power outlets are protected with RCD safety switches.

ALL bedrooms are fitted with mains power-connected smoke detectors with battery backup. There are also smoke detectors fitted in air locks and outside of bedrooms for extra early safety warning in the event of fire. There are battery backup emergency lights fitted to the main living area, together with phosphorus glow-in-the-dark nonslip markers fitted to the stair treads.

All four bedrooms are fitted with Daikin reverse cycle air conditioning with remote control.
The Lounge room has its own independent Daikin reverse cycle A/C unit, together with an Eureka wood fire with a 3-speed fan.

The upstairs and master bedrooms both have their own en-suite bathrooms with showers and toilets. The downstairs bedroom has its own Disability accessible shower and toilet with movement sensor lighting and infrared heater.

Whilst the parents can enjoy their own space downstairs with the wall-mounted large screen TV and wood fire on those cold wintery nights. The kids can have their own space with its own wall-mounted large screen TV and kitchenette. Or sitting and reading a book out on the sundeck on those warm sunny days. Bring the outside inside by fully opening the French doors and feel all the ambience of the sounds of the running creek only meters away.

An accessible kitchen is fitted with a dual sink, a heritage gas cooktop stove with electric ovens, and a Miele dishwasher. It also features an external exhaust range hood and a servery bench, ideal for family functions or gatherings.
Watch time stop sitting at the solid hand-crafted round table, complemented with the enviro pellet heater, with a glass of wine, and take in the surrounding 360° views with family and friends. Don’t be surprised if the resident Blue Wren joins you, or Frogs climb up the outside of the windows, taking advantage of the insects drawn to the lights at night.

Enter via the front cathedral doors or by the back door into the airlocks to take off and store those muddy boots or wet weather gear while keeping the weather outside the lodge.

Separate to the Lodge is a fully insulated self-contained Garage and workshop with a remote-controlled 3.1m high roller shutter door ideal for home business or budding mechanic. 24,000-litre water tank for the toilet and electric hot water system, which supplies both the Island Bench sink and washroom.
Watch football or car racing in the mess area in comfort on the large, wall-mounted TV while overlooking the wild bird breeding pond.

Walk the grounds with the bird nesting tree area at the west end of the property, or have a game of cricket on the flat ground area on the east end of the property.
There is also a council permit for 10 fully self-contained RV parking spots, which can earn a bit of extra income during the tourist season, known as Platypus Retreat.
