Soak yourself in comfort and privacy at this comfortable abode - your home away from home awaits! The space If you love wooden homes, the warm cozy feeling of walking barefoot on wooden floors ... this is the perfect place for you. Wooden homes have their own unique vibes about them. You don't have to share with other guests or the property owner, you have the entire house to yourselves. A little history of this house: it is the original home of the first Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji, Mr David Barnes who later retired to his home country in New Zealand with his wife. Like us we have 4 daughters, Mr & Mrs Barnes also raised their 4 daughters in this beautiful home. Mrs Barnes was well known & actively in leadership with the Fiji Girl Guides during their time in Fiji. We have kept the original structure of this house with little additions for comfort - it is well maintained. The house is well ventilated - airy & lots of light. Usually there's no need to get the air condition switched on but if need be, there is air condition units installed in every room. Guest access You have access to the whole house- a living area (lounge), 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with a separate toilet, full kitchen, laundry room with washing machine & dryer, there's a sink for hand washing if you feel like it. The house is located about 300 meters from the Suva Point beach/sea front. You could easily go for a morning walk along the sea front - we've done this ourselves. Just to get out for a early morning walk or stretch - gives you a great head start for the day. NB. It's not a white sandy beach look but good enough for that cool breeze morning walk. But you don't have to travel far to see a sunrise & a sunset! It's just a few minutes walk from the house. It is a 10 min drive to Suva Business District, the Government Buildings, Thurston Gardens & the Fiji Museum. Plus going out for dinners to Grand Pacific Hotel or the Holiday Inn is usually a favorite. Public transport is easily available. You just step out of the house & make a 2 min walk to the main road & stop a passing taxi. Less than 10 min walking distance to the University of the South Pacific, shopping complex like Cost U Less, Damodar City, restaurants, theatre, bank (ATM), doctors, dentist, etc. Colo-i-Suva Eco Forest is about 20 minutes drive away. The Golf course is 10 minutes drive away. The backyard faces a beautiful little chapel - the St Lukes Anglican Church. They have quite an active congregation. At times they have their church bazaar & you could easily walk across to enjoy some music & different kinds of delicious food. You could probably hear beautiful singing on Sunday mornings. Apart from that it is generally quiet. The former owner of this home whom we bought this house from 31 years ago; Mr David Barnes was the first Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji & also a deacon in this St Lukes Anglican Church.
