The shared kitchen is equipped with microwaves, toasters, kettles, and basic cookware, allowing self-catering.

The patio features outdoor furniture and is a quiet space to relax, though the fencing limits the full view. Some buildings have a small shared lounge/TV area. The surrounding area includes boating opportunities and walking trails through nearby parks and gardens.
