The Space:
Light, bright and beautifully presented, this 2-bedroom ground floor apartment looks over a stunning wetland and boardwalk. From your front door you can stroll across to the pond, where you can sit and watch the birds and ducks that call this place home. The westerly aspect from the living area, deck and bedrooms put you in a front row position for colourful sunsets over the distant Cypress shelterbelt trees. At night, the boardwalk illuminates the pond so you can further appreciate the landscaped surrounds of the Quay 2 Estate.
The apartment is styled with coastal furnishings and decor that inspire relaxed living. Ideally oriented to capture the north and west sunshine into the open plan kitchen, living and dining room, the sliding doors extend the living space out to the courtyard and lawn. This is the spot for morning coffee, afternoon drinks whilst cooking the BBQ, or preparing for a night out.
Set up to accommodate 4 guests, the comfortable interior setting enhances the experience at ‘Boardwalk on Bright’. Curl up on the comfortable lounge suites with a good book, use the WIFI or watch movies to your heart’s content (Netflix connectivity). Split system heating-cooling units in the main living hub and both bedrooms provide year-round climate comfort, combined with the eco and acoustic benefits of double-glazed windows.
