About this property

Crawfords Retreat, your home away from home

The Crawfords Retreat is a fully renovated 2 storey house at the end of a cul de sac.
You enter the building through the front porch, coming into the main hallway.
To the left you will find the lounge with a splash of colour, a fireplace, heatpump and comfortable seating.
Two couches that can be folded out into two double beds.
There is a walkthrough that goes straight from the lounge into the kitchen/ dining area.
It is a modern kitchen with a fan bake oven by Bosch and a ceramic top by Beko. Enjoy some cooking, working on the granite bench-top or grab some local takeaways from Kings Fishmarket.
Through the kitchen or down the hallway, you get to the back of the house with the laundry and seperate toilet.
The tiled main bathroom has a shower, toilet and modern vanity.
There are 4 bedrooms upstairs, starting with the "kids" bunks room down the hallway. Beside that is the master bedroom withe a double bed, wardrobe and access to the balcony, overlooking the gardens and the north side of Invercargill.
Next is another double bed bedroom with a feature light ceiling and wardrobe, with views of the garden.
Bedroom number 4 has a king size bed and a feature light wall. There is a wardrobe also.
All main bedrooms catch the sun, but this one also gets the morning sun.
Enjoy the fresh beddings and towels and make yourself at home.
Being close to Stadium Southland , handy for all sorts of sport activities or events and close to Transport World Car Museum you be right at the most important places of Invercargill.
It is also just around the corner from Queenspark, with gardens, an avery, animals and a golf course.
Pubs, Cafes and shops are about 500m to 1km away.

Over grown and generally messy
the worse thing about our stay was the emails from the landlord, do i really want to be told to be careful of every single item in the house, or how much it has cost you to replace stuff. not our problem. my hubby really found the smoke butts left outside a bit disgusting, the grounds were messy and overgrown. One bedroom was something out of a porn movie..disturbing, one double bed was soft enough to be comfortable the others rock hard. The upstairs bathroom the shower was good, but why stick a toilet in a two foot space. Did i mention the the front of the house was totally overgrown with ivy, you couldnt tell it was a house, of course it didnt need curtains i guess that was a saving for the owner. I have stayed in much nice bookabachs, this one was very average the neighbourhood is what it is. We booked it as dog friendly the fence had huge holes in it. Overall it was a very average house with a landlord that doesnt understand no one wants to hear his wows
