We love our home and have been in the same condo for more than 10 years. It's a modern but warm space, filled with light, with a lush balcony, resort-style pool, gym and tennis courts, BBQ pits... it's like coming home to a holiday every day! We would love to share it with you...
We're steps away from a Starbucks, supermarket, massage place and the best burger joint in Singapore! Tick tick tick. The condo backs onto a canal which you can follow down the river to Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and onto the Bay and Merlion. In less than 10 minutes you can walk to a bigger mall with a ton of restaurants and shops. A quick bus, MRT or taxi ride puts you at Orchard Road, China Town, Marina Bay Sands. The location is so central but the condo peaceful.
Singapore is such an exciting city... a cultural melting pot with amazing food on every corner and there is so much to soak up and explore here. It's also a quick, easy flight to other great cities and some of the best beaches in Asia - Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Phuket...
The space
Our home is a 3-bedroom modern condo plus study. You would have access to 2 of the bedrooms and the entire apartment. The spacious master has a king sized bed and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed.
The living room has a huge sofa to lounge on and a 65-inch TV. I love to cook so the kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, microwave, oven and a ton of appliances. The balcony is lush with frangipani, bourganvillea, birds of paradise and banana trees and it's the perfect spot for a late afternoon/early evening cocktail.
We are on the 8th floor of a 12-story development and it's a lovely community. The pool is one of the best condo pools in Singapore with a kids pool, wading pool, 25 meter lap pool, 2 jacuzzis... there are also BBQ pits, tennis courts and a gym.
Guest access
The apartment is 1450sqft, on a single level.
Notes
We have a 3-year old rescue pup and a live-in domestic helper who has a room behind the kitchen; she takes care of our pup while we are away and keeps the place clean. If you love dogs and would like help with cleaning, laundry, cooking, babysitting etc while you are here then they are available for you! But of course if you would prefer not to have pets or a helper while you visit, we can absolutely arrange that too!

Neighbourhood
Our condo is in River Valley which is a residential neighbourhood nesteled in-between Orchard Road (for shopping), China Town (for culture) and Sentosa (for beach). There are great restaurants and shops a walk away from our condo, and tons more to explore around Singapore.... museums, beaches, mosques, temples, eateries. There are also a ton of indoor and outdoor kid-friendly activities in and around the area.
Getting to my home
Singapore Changi airport is about a 25 minute taxi ride to our place, and costs around $35 SGD.
Nearest airport
Changi airport.
Getting around
Singapore is small so you can be anywhere in minutes. Grab (the Asian Uber equivalent) is cheap and reliable and there are great public transport links (bus stop steps away, MRT stations a 10 minute walk away). There are also public bikes that you can rent to cruise along the canal which is pedestrian-only and a lovely ride down to the Quays, the Bay and the Merlion.

Hiya, I'm Michelle! I have 2 kids, Leo and Ellie - a teen and a wannabe teen! We are a fun, easy-going, close-knit French/English family. For the last 16 years we have called Singapore home. We absolutely love it here but are lucky enough to travel frequently. We spend every summer in Vancouver visiting my sister and also have family in Hong Kong Thailand, France, the UK, the US, Panama and Canada so often make plans for visits across the globe.
