There are 3 bedrooms, the main has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe whilst the other 2 bedrooms have built in robes. The guest's bedroom has two-way access to the main bathroom and toilet.

Recreational Features
For those of you who love fishing or going out in the tinny, you can take your pick at Kotuku as you have both an on-site pontoon and boat ramp. Baffle Creek is well known for prawns, crabs and fishing - think of the fun to be had. The property is very attractive with open grassed areas and mature Eucalypts for shade along the creek banks. It would be a great area for friends or family to set up camp when they visit or maybe utilised for a more commercial enterprise in the future. Fully fenced with a spring-fed dam, an electric fence protects the house yard. Being selectively cleared, you could easily run some cows or horses as it has done in the past.
