7 listings made for watching footy with your mates

Whether you bleed green, blue, red or black, the NRL and AFL footy seasons are off to a huge start for 2019. We’ve put together the ultimate spaces to watch the big game with friends – from ripper decks to man caves and even a spa (if you’re into that sort of thing).
Here are our picks for cheering on your team.

1. This man cave in Hughes (17 Bisdee Street)

There are man caves and then there are MAN CAVES. This purpose-built shed is every sports fan’s dream, with its own bar – seating four – and a pool table for a quick round of snooker at half-time. But the piece de resistance is a projector with three-metre screen, allowing you to watch the Raiders race home to victory in virtual life-size. On the rare occasion that happens, of course.
The man cave (and the home attached) is up for auction this Saturday 14 April. View the listing here.

2. This stunning rooftop deck in Chapman (47 Monkman Street)

Does it get better than a game of footy with a view? Wheel out a large screen and enjoy a beautiful Canberra vista in the background of the latest televised grudge match. It’s a space big enough to host an entire footy team and features an outdoor kitchen perfect for grilling the garlic prawns.

3. This intimate space in Farrer (117 Hawkesbury Crescent)

This house on Hawkesbury Crescent is incredible for so many reasons – Game of Thrones style front door anyone? – but the entertaining area is made for good company, good beverages and some quality sport on the TV. While the spa might be a little intimate for cheering on the GWS Giants with friends, the deck is perfect. 10/10.

4. This pizza paradise (13 Lutana Street, Lyons)

What goes better with footy than pizza? Nothing! (Okay, maybe a cold beverage.) In this backyard on Lutana Street, your guests can create pizzas with their favourite toppings before settling in to the enjoy the game. And the kids have their own playground to explore while you’re focused on the match. Winning.

5. This pool and deck combo in Curtin (29 Parker Street)

Add an outdoor heater and a huge lounge to this deck in Curtin and you’ve got the makings of regular Sunday afternoons in the sun, with Rabs Warren in the commentary box. And by the time grand final weekend rolls around, the weather might just be hot enough for a dip in that dreamy pool.

6. This indoor-outdoor stunner in Lyons (7/3 Taroona Place)

It’s the best of both worlds with this bachelor pad in Taroona Place, Lyons. Open the huge sliding glass doors and you’ve got the option for chips and dips inside in front of the telly, and beverages outside in the winter sun at half-time.
