The Cottages: 

Consist of circa 1930 maisonettes. The exterior of the building is constructed and finished in the mediterranean style common to this area. This style of building was a popular alternative to the traditional corrugated iron construction seen in Broken Hill due to the extreme cost of transporting bricks from South Australia. It offered the insulation advantages of brick construction without the extreme freight costs prevalent in those days, or cracking problems due to the mine firings. It consists of a concrete render which is then top coated with "flick plaster", using white cement and Menindee white sand, this gives a durable and more attractive finish than plain concrete.

Interior 

The walls are lined with "gyprock" style sheeting and painted.
----------------The following pictures are a mixture of both cottages----------------.
Each cottage has 2 bedrooms.

The main bedroom has a Queen bed. Blue Gum in this case.
  

The 2nd bedroom has 2 x Single beds. Blue Gum in this case.
  


There is a semi split kitchen and lounge area with plentiful seating. Blue Bush these 3 photos.
  


  


  

All the normal white goods, utensils and facilities are provided. There is a domestic range (Oven with hot plates) for those who want to cook plus a standard microwave oven.

Bathrooms: As we have had a number of questions about the bathrooms, the old adage of a picture being worth a thousand words springs to mind:
  


  

The shower cubicle is of conventional type with a frame incorporting a sill and header bar. The sill is about 75mm high. The cubicle door is 1200mm wide.

Please note that past customers have told us that the cottages are much roomier than the above pictures indicate.

No need to squint to watch TV, it is nice and big - 81cm (32 inch) screen.
