Football fans are in their element over the next couple of weeks as finals fever and international competitions grip the sporting nations attention.
Even those who don’t even own a garish, stripey scarf get excited as they watch the fireworks on and off the field.
The best place to be, if you’re not in the stands, is in a luxurious, (could you turn down the air con a degree or two?) state of the art, (did you see the sweat beads on his eye lashes?), home (come on over, we've got the game on in the cinema!) screening room.
Now’s the time to guarantee a front row seat for whatever screen event that makes you so excited you actually turn your phone off.
92 Yarrbat, Balwyn, This six bedroom mansion has cleverly placed the theatre next to a kitchen (no more hot beers or cold coffees), a bathroom (because they NEVER freeze it until you get back) and, oh yes, a full sized cellar. Plus a little something extra for members of the family who may not be so football conscious as fashion conscious; a 30sqm dressing room with fireplace
13 Wimba, Kew Ideal for those who get bored during half time, the gym in this five bedroom manse is right next door to the theatre. Perhaps even more fortuitously, just another few steps and welcome to the bar.Ideal for drowning sorrows if the whole thing turns pear shaped.
101 Commorodore Drive, Surfers Paradise offers luxurious seats that look so plush and soft it'd be hard to stay awake for the anthem. Unless of course you arrived by helicopter and landed on the private pad over the Nerang River. Added bonus here is an actual (30sqm plus) sports bar across the hall. It's like the place was built for the finals.
2 Rosherville Road, Mosman The hardest part about living on Sydney's glistening harbour is that pesky glare when you're trying to see if the ref's got it right and it's not a try.
This tiered, (superbly lit for intimate gatherings) media room kicks a few goals all on its own, and you would not miss one, single, hi def detail.
5 Conway Avenue, Rose Bay has a very Hollywood glamour ' main foyer, and the theatre is easily accessed from there - a chance to do the whole big entrance thing. Actual sporting pursuits are well catered for with a pool and rumpus not far away.
5 Westwood Street, Wavell Heights has huge outdoor areas with uninterrupted city views but when all you want to do is hear that crowd roar, and sing along at half time - it's into the screening room with 10 of your best footy fans friends. Thank heavens for soundproofing.
And finally, New Zealand will have eyes on the prizes this season as well and the luckiest lads in the land of the long white cloud will be doing it in style at the breathtaking lodge found at 54 Twin Peak View in the Queenstown Lakes District. And if your team loses? Well, no one will hear you scream in this lakeside getaway. Ray White MediaPrue Miller 0402 102 887
