In Greendale, a newly built cluster unit is available to rent, with a solar system and gas stove among the features that make day-to-day living here less dependent on the grid.
The fitted kitchen is well put together, a gas cooktop paired with an electric oven, spacious open plan lounge with a window that brings in natural light. Tiled floors run through the kitchen and living areas, and sliding glass doors in the lounge open directly onto the yard enclosed by boundary walling.
Three bedrooms, each with built-in cupboards, and two bathrooms serve the household. A solar geyser handles hot water separately from the main solar system, so the two aren't competing for the same load. The complex has a greywater system for the gardens.
