Summary:

Make Scarborough easy at The Driftway, a private three-bedroom house with a spa bath, family beach kit, fast WiFi and room for six. Load the trolley with bodyboards, beach toys and the paddleboard, spend the day by the Indian Ocean, then come home to a BBQ dinner under the alfresco. A double garage, full laundry, stocked kitchen and dedicated desk make weekends and longer Perth stays run smoothly.



The Space:

THE SPACE

You get the whole house to yourselves. The living room has an ultra-comfy couch, a 65" Frame TV with soundbar, a Dyson heating and cooling fan, and a stack of board games. A second light-filled sitting room with designer lounge chairs doubles as a reading room when you want quiet. The Hamptons-style dining table seats eight, and the kitchen is fully equipped: Nespresso machine, DeLonghi kettle and toaster, air fryer, pressure cooker, rice cooker, Nutribullet, dishwasher, and complimentary tea, coffee and pantry basics.

WORK AND CONNECTIVITY

Fast WiFi, an Ethernet connection and a dedicated desk make remote work simple. Long stays are welcome, so the house suits relocations, medical stays, FIFO families between swings, and slow travellers as well as holidays.
