A winter creek traverses the southern corner and is well shaded by mature gums and other trees.
The gardens that surround the home include lush lawns and mature Palms to the east, a gravel area around the pool with a magnificent wall of Oleander bushes providing a screen and colour. On the northern side of the home is an irrigation system, which is set on timers, and raised garden beds make gardening a pleasurable experience.
