You enter the apartments via a free public car park so there are no stairs to bother with. The feel is bright, smooth and uncluttered and there’s a good deal of space in both with muted colours, upcycled furniture and comfortable seating. Open-plan galley kitchens are sleek and well geared up for proper cooking with plenty of prepping space and basics to get you started.

Light floods in, the views over the river are stunning (especially in winter when the trees are not in leaf) and you have a shared outdoor terrace for morning tea or evening drinks listening to the river rushing past. Bedrooms have beautifully dressed beds and spoiling en suite shower rooms with windows and natural stone flooring. From the terrace you can take a footpath along the river through the Bois d’Amour woods.

Come with another couple and take both spaces, stroll into town for dinner, visit markets and bring delicious fresh food home. It’s peaceful.
