Living @ Macarthur:
It's so easy to feel at home, when wireless Internet, gas, electricity and water are all connected - all you have to do is unpack your personal items and get settled. 708 Macarthur allows incoming tenants to feel comfortable in a relaxed and home-like environment – new tenants appreciate the opportunity to rest on arrival; to enjoy complete privacy in secure, lockable bedrooms, and enjoy the shared living space when desired. The caretaker is usually available on short notice, making every effort to assist each tenant with their unique set of needs on arrival and attend to reasonable requests for assistance as required.
The communal areas have been designed with shared living in mind and while tenants often lead busy lives which limits their contact with their fellow-housemates, many form meaningful and lasting friendships. There are no shared utility bills to worry about, which contributes to the relaxed living environment. The home is substantial, and easily allows tenants to feel comfortable going about their daily tasks - the spacious kitchen and living area forms the hub of the home. The fully equipped kitchen has separate food storage areas provided for each tenant, and while cooking is sometimes shared, most tenants prepare their own food or take advantage of the numerous take-away food outlets and restaurants nearby.
Typical tenants include working undergraduate and postgraduate students, health care professionals, short term and extended stay employees, and those relocating to Ballarat. Increasingly enjoyed as a convenient second home for people who work or study locally and return to their primary residence on weekends.
