Kensington

Description of the home

We are the home owners and moved to Kensington a couple of years ago. It is a large home and as we often go off on holidays for months during the year, it makes sense to have lodgers then we can share our experiences with you and you can share yours with us.
We have nice rooms available in a clean home. We are used to having lodgers live with us, in fact we have been happily living with other people for many years now.
Our location is ideal, just a short walk to the Swan River, and just a few minutes walk to the local IGA, Turkish restaurant, another restaurant and a couple of coffee shops. The Bus stops are a minutes walk away - one way goes to Perth city and terminates at Elizabeth Quay, and the other to Curtin University Bus Depot. Just a few minutes and you are into the city if you go by car or a few minutes longer brings you by bus to the city.

We are just minutes away by car or bike, to Victoria Park and the busy Restaurant and coffee shop strip plus the major shops are there, Coles, KMart etc.
We have off street parking if you have a car.

We are a sociable couple, travelled a lot - still do! So there are times you would be on your own possibly with one other lodger in the house, as we do go away for a few months to Europe or a few weeks to Eastern Australia.

The room is large with your own semi en-suite most of the time.
The kitchen is fully equipped, gas hot plate and duel electric oven. Fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. The laundry has a domestic washing machine . There are laundry cupboards, iron and ironing board and a large tub sink. There is ducted reverse air conditioning in the house.

Outside there is a large covered patio area with outdoor chairs and table and BBQ.

We would like to cover ourselves by saying that should you use more of any of the utilities than normal (we would show past & present bills) then we have the right to charge a little more to cover that particular period! Sorry, but it has happened to us in the past!

The person/people taking the room should be able to give us checkable references please!

Do message/email for any questions.
