Brookside - fully updated 1950's home in Maydena

Brookside is a fully renovated 1950's cottage, in the beautiful Tasmanian wilderness township of Maydena. Biking and hiking groups, friends, families and couples will all enjoy staying in this beautiful home. Bikers will love the super secure shipping container for storing and working on bikes. Everyone will love relaxing on the deck, or by the fire after a busy day. We have the perfect location to base yourself to explore the Maydena bike park and the beautiful nearby national parks. Brookside comfortably sleeps 8 people, with two queen sized bedrooms and one bunk room. We have a spacious deck, where you can relax with a drink or a nice meal and listen to the sounds of the little creek running alongside our property. We have a large new woodheater in the living room with provided firewood, and a reverse cycle aircon in the kitchen for instant heat on those chilly Maydena mornings. The house is centrally heated with the woodheater, via a warm air transfer system. Our beds have comfortable and warm wool quilts. Our mud room / laundry is accessed by the back door, and has both a washing machine and dryer. Great for the muddy winter months - get your clothes on to wash and head straight inside for a hot shower. They can be easily dried and ready for the next day of adventure! Our kitchen is modern, with quality cookware and appliances, and a dishwasher to clean up after a busy day. I also have a nice little coffee machine to get you going in the mornings. On warm nights of course you will be out on the deck, but when it's a bit cooler outside we have a fully stocked games cupboard, and a variety of DVDs to watch on the TV. Outside our secure shipping container is fitted out as a bike storage and workshop area. It has power and lights for working at night. There are bike specific tools and a parktool workstand to help keep your ride in tip-top shape. Brookside boasts a fire-pit out in the backyard, so plan to spend an evening under the beautiful Tasmanian night sky, and don't forget those marshmallows! Guests have access to the home itself, as well as an attached second toilet and laundry. Outside is arguably the most secure storage in town - our shipping container is fitted out as bike storage and workshop. There is firewood storage adjacent to the container. The yard is fully fenced, so little people can roam freely. Our property has many established fruit trees, so in season you are welcome to all you want. There is ample parking along the driveway. Self access is via a lock-box on the property. Other than any questions you may have, our interaction will be quite minimal - you will have the whole house to yourselves. We can however answer whatever questions you have about the outdoor pursuits in the area, feel free to ask! We employ a local person to professionally clean and launder, making sure you have a great experience. Maydena is a pretty small town with all shops, bike park and amenities within 5 mins walk. We are away from the main road (and the logging trucks), our home is across the road from the town's swimming pool (closed currently, but we have high hopes!), the playground and the rail track riders. Maydena is 1 hour and 15 mins from Hobart. Follow the Gordon River Road about 10 mins past the Mount Field turnoff. There is no public transport to Maydena, although there look to be some private shuttle services that have started to service the bike park.
