The space
Cozy Retreat: Modern Comfort Meets Classic Charm
Welcome to your perfect escape! Our delightful 2-bedroom apartment seamlessly blends modern amenities with nostalgic touches, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere in the heart of Hunter River.
The Space:
Bedrooms: Both bedrooms are designed for ultimate relaxation, each featuring a plush Queen bed adorned with down alternative duvets, a light quilt, and crisp cotton sheets. Charging stations on each bedside table ensure your devices are always ready. Primary bedroom includes a 43” TV with Netflix and Disney for your viewing pleasure.
Bathroom: Freshen up in our charming bathroom, complete with a tub and handheld shower head, a pedestal sink, and a toilet. We provide plush towels, bath mats, hand towels, and face cloths to ensure your comfort. The bathroom is a very small bathroom because it was built in 1918 and I'm assuming that it originally served as a pantry or storage closet before PEI had indoor plumbing/electricity..
Living Room: Unwind in the spacious living room, furnished with comfortable seating for four. A desk with a banker’s lamp and an old-fashioned typewriter add a touch of vintage flair. Enjoy movie nights on the 58” TV equipped with Netflix, YouTube, and Disney. Don’t forget to sign our bank ledger guest book and add your mark to our history!
Dining Room: Gather around the elegant dining table for four, illuminated by a charming candelabra chandelier. Experience a touch of nostalgia with the record player and a selection of vinyl records—perfect for a dance break!
Kitchen: Our fully equipped kitchen features a stove, fridge, coffee maker, and all the essentials including cutlery, plates, cereal bowls, and pots and pans for four, making meal preparation a breeze.
Sunporch: Relax in the sunporch overlooking the backyard with a distant view of the river. The sunporch is complete with a Bluetooth radio, Edison string lights, and seating for two. Add some fun to your evening with a disco light bulb in the lamp!
Backyard: Enjoy the serene backyard with comfortable lawn chairs—ideal for lounging and soaking up the sun.
