The sitting room is currently set up as two separate seating areas, one around the TV, the other taking full advantage of the stunning view across Tasman Bay. This side of the room has double-sliders onto the deck and the whole wall is nearly all glass. Extra light comes from two large windows looking out to the west, each fitted with retractable fly-screens.

A major feature of the house is the ...m long deck that runs the length of the north face of the property and is accessed from the side pebble garden, the double sliders from the sitting room and from the dining room door. This is a great area for the BBQ and entertaining friends and family.

The room has three separate lighting systems, all with dimmer switches to give a cosy feel. The log burner or heat pump, in winter, gets the room comfortably warm in a few minutes, helped by the double-glazing and wall insulation. There are no fewer than nine ceiling lights and .. power sockets situated around this huge room of 52 sq m.
