Seasonal Home (The Manor)

(14/11/14)

Last Friday we moved into our new home for the season - Manor 88. The manor was built for the 1988 Winter Olympics which were held at Nakiska. The manor has 88 rooms over 9 suites. Each suite has 8 – 10 rooms.

Matt and I have our own (separate) rooms which are connected with a bathroom that we share between the two of us. It is a little odd having separate rooms after 4 years of sharing.. but, it is nice having my own space and it’s not like he’s very far away.

We share a kitchen and tv room with the rest of the people in our suite – who are 90% Australians. There is Matt and I, a couple from Spain, 1 girl from New Zealand and the rest are all Australians who came together on the working holiday program (which means they paid a company to find jobs and accommodation for them).

We had to buy all our own bedding which was fine by me, but we didn’t realise until we got to the manor that we would also have to buy kitchen utensils and appliances as our kitchen had next to nothing! So we went into town on the first day we got here with some of the girls and managed to go in together to buy things like a toaster, a set of plates and some good knives. We were hoping the other group of girls would buy the kettle and some cutlery…. But not yet… so we are sharing about 3 spoons, a fork and 10 butter knives….
