dinner in the large kitchen that flows from the informal breakfast area to the formal dining when entertaining guests, you have the choice of induction hotplates for modern convenience or the classic combustion cooking, enjoy.
After dinner drinks should be served in a room that befits the occasion, well
this is where the ballroom or main living room will definitely impress.
The room is lined with blackwood and once was used for fundraising balls where you could dance up a storm on the timber floors.
Despite the large proportions of every room, heating is of no concern with the oil fired central heating system ducted to every room and ably backed by 2 reverse cycle air-con units.
