Some pics
This is the patio area. It has a vine trellis over it but we are in the midst of building a proper roof for it so that you'll be better protected from the rain. The doors you can see lead to the bedroom and bathroom and toilet. the lounge room door is out of shot
Side of the flat. The vegie garden is just out your longue room window
Front of the house. Wide verandahs run along the whole house. Interior shots soon!Granny Flat to Rent!
We have a granny flat to rent on Lee Point Rd, Wagaman in Darwin NT. The house is ground level, with the flat being at the back of the house making it much quieter. It has it's own bedroom, lounge room and toilet and bathroom separate from the main house. All doors in the flat open up onto a share patio. The bedroom has inbuilt cupboards and there is some storage in the lounge room. Both are aironditioned, though the lounge room air-con is too small really to be effective. It has louvered and sliding windows throughout.
We have a bed and a fridge for the flat (bed year old, fridge 4 years old) and share a washing machine. The kitchen is in the main house and will require that we all share it. The kitchen has a gas stove and cooktop. There is room in the kitchen for food and kitchenware storage. There is also a TV if you need it, with Austar hooked up to it if you are happy to pay for half of the monthly fee. There is also a rather old table and some chairs, if you need it.
The house has off street parking if you have a car. We don't, so there's no competition for parking here!
We have an extensive rainforest type garden, with vegie patches and herb gardens if you like to cook.
The granny flat is keyed seperately to the main house and each of the room is able to be locked. We are in the process of renovating the house and flat, so will be planning to repaint it. it is white at the moment, but this will be done in negotiation with the new tenant.
The house is close to Hibiscus, Casuarina Square and Lee Point Beach. There are several schools, parks and shops close by. It's a five minute away walk to a number 3 bus stop and a ten minute walk away from a number 10 bus stop. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Cas Square.
There is no internal phone line in the flat.
About us:
Matt and I are both working full time, though as a teacher I will be on leave soon. We have only recently bought the house and are working on renovating it further. It's in clean though dated condition right now and we are seeking to improve this, but anyone renting the flat will need to be satisfied with it in it's current condition as we are a bit slow in our DIY! We are quiet, easy to get along with people who respect other people's space and expect the same for ourselves. We don't mow the lawns at early hours and can take into account people's working hours if working shift work! We are not just looking for someone to help us to pay the mortgage, we are happy to share the kitchen and the property with a tenant, but are looking for someone who is similarly quiet and respectful to share the property.
We have many animals! Which is something anyone wanting to live on the property needs to consider. We have two dogs (Siberian Huskies) and three cats. We can consider a flatmate with an animal of their own, but the future tenant will have to be prepared to go through council regulations about numbers of animals kept. As far as I know, to keep three dogs on a property you have to apply for a council permit. But we do have some concerns about this. Our male dog, Max, is territorial and can be a problem for some time when adjusting to other dogs, especially ones who are aggressive. We would need to consider this on a case by case basis.
We are diligent about keeping up with pest treatment and regularly treat the property for pests like fleas.
Max is also not great with kids, so for this reason we would not consider a tenant with young children. It is too much of a risk to a child. He is not aggressive towards adults or teenagers, and is more pushy with young children, but this is not something we want to risk.
The animals stay inside the house for safety reasons, they are escape artists, so if you're not comfortable with the presence of dog hair in the kitchen, this might not be the place for you. They do not go in the granny flat at any time, nor do the cats.

What we're looking for:
- someone who is respectful of others
- someone who is quiet and not looking for a party house
- someone who is working full time, or full time hours (36ish hours)
- someone with consistent reliable employment
- someone who is prepared to keep the property in a neat and tidy state
- someone who is able to get along with all occupants of the house, including the furry ones!
- someone who pays the rent and bills on time
It would be useful for you to tell us, in an email or in writing:
- Your name, age and contact details
- who you work for
- what hours you work (and anything special like night shift etc)
- how long you'd like to rent the flat
- if you have any animals of your own
- anything else you think might be relevant
The property is being rented at $185 per week and we require two weeks bond up front. Electricity is on top of this, and is divided by a ratio (depending on aircon useage etc). Austar is available if you are interested, we will split the monthly fee in half if you decide you want the service

We will be showing people through the flat between 2-4 on Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th of November. The address is 89 Lee Point Rd if you'd like to have a look from the outside, but we won't be admitting people other than that time.
