The Cubby House

A cute, cosy self-contained cabin cleverly fitted out to accommodate up to four with a double bed in an alcove downstairs and two mattresses on the carpeted floor of the loft which is accessed by a steep staircase - for the agile and stouthearted :) This little cabin is in our back garden, quite close to our house but private enough with entry from a side gate into the garden. The cabin is fully self-contained with own bathroom and small kitchenette area with a fold-up table and chairs. There's a small fridge, small stove/oven appliance. (two hotplates on top), microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, pots and pans, utensils, crockery, cuttlery and glasses etc. There's enough there to self-cater to a basic standard for four people. Beds are made up and towels etc are provided. It's 7 minutes walk from Thirroul train station. An hour-and-a-quarter train ride to Sydney (Central) It's a 10 or 20 minute walk to beautiful beaches. 10 - 15 minutes walk to restaurants, bars, cafes and shops of Thirroul. The cabin is very small and open-plan. Suitable for a family with older children, or several adults for sleeping as there is a double bed in an alcove downstairs and two, three or four (maximum) single mattresses on the carpeted floor in the loft (mezzanine style.) Due to the nature of the loft stairs and windows, the cabin is unsuitable for children under six and close supervision would be required for children of any age. There is not a great deal of room downstairs, so it would be crowded as a place to stay during the day for more than a couple of people. The downstairs bed converts into a small lounge area, otherwise there is no sitting area, just the bed. The floorplan in the pictures gives an idea of size and layout. The stairs to the loft are narrow and, at this stage have a single railing making them unsuitable for small children and the less agile. The neighbourhood is quiet and leafy. Wifi is available and easy street parking. The little cabin is accessed via gates from the street into the garden (we're on a corner block.) The cabin is close to our house but private and completely self-contained so it's entirely up to our guests how much interaction they have with us. We tend to hang out at the front of our place and enter and leave that way. The cabin's at the back and entry is via a side street. We are friendly and like meeting people so if you'd like more company we're open to it :) We're also available if you need local info etc or, if we're around, a lift anywhere. Our neighbourhood is quiet and leafy and very safe. It's an easy walk to shops and cafes, a slightly longer walk to the beach. The train station is about seven minutes walk. There's also a bus. Being wedged between the escarpment and the sea as we are, there's only really one main road and one train line so it's all pretty easy :) The train ride to Sydney is scenic and pleasant and takes just over an hour to Central.
