GUEST ACCESS
The back of the property is very private from our living area and all yours to enjoy though you may see us from time to time gardening and playing in the front in passing and hear us on our deck above yours during the warmer months.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
This is a family home, we live above the suite with our 8 year old daughter and 13 year old super friendly black Lab, Guinness and you will hear us from time to time or run into us and our dog in the yard. We do lead a quiet lifestyle and spend a lot of time out of the house at work and at school though if you are seeking a completely silent accommodation this may not be the best fit for you.
While we are child-friendly accommodation, the suite is not "child-proof" so we don't have covers on plugs, child locks on cupboards or furniture secured to the walls.
