In addition there is a sofa bed and a cot for infants. There is cable TV, ethernet, and wifi throughout the house and most of the garden.

Stara Moravica is a traditional Vojvodina village. The population is about 5,000. The streets are wide and lined with plum trees and most houses are, like ours, in the Austro-hungarian style with spacious rooms, thick walls, high ceilings, large gardens, and substantial land attached. Our land is arranged as a garden with outdoor dining and BBQ, a large grassed farmyard, and an orchard with over 30 plum trees. The farmyard has lots of space for kids (or dogs), including a swing set and old farm buildings. It is securely fenced. It is an easy walk to village shops and amenities. Many local people are expert producers of food and drink. You can easily buy honey, cheese, goats milk, bread, wine and of course rakija. The land around is flat and agricultural, and beautiful for cycling or running, whether along farm tracks, quiet roads, or the course of a disused railway which extends 30km all the way to Subotica. There is a lake in the village, over 2km in length. We provide bicycles (6) and a 4.5m canoe. A neighbour has a horse and cart and offers tours, as well as transport of the canoe to the lake. There are many opportunities for swimming, including a 12m pool in the village (700m from the house), a 23m pool in Bajmok (12km), a 20m iodine-rich hot water thermal pool in Pacir (4km), and lake swimming with water slides etc in Backa Topola (15km). There is a 50m outdoor pool in Kljajićevo, 30km from the house.

The kitchen is well equipped, and as well as the standard BBQ equipment we provide a Kotlic in case you want to try traditional Hungarian paprikash cooking.

The village centre is a few hundred metres from the house. There you will find two supermarkets, butchers, hardware stores, the ubiquitous "Chinese Shops", two pharamcies, two bakeries, ice-cream parlour, news kiosk, money-exchange, internet cafe, and various other amenities. Within a kilometer of the house you will find three bars, a very good take-away serving traditional Vojvodina meat dishes and pizzas, two burger take-aways, and a restaurant. Within the village there is also a children's playground, horse-riding, and bowling alley.

Backa Topola has two good restaurants, Subotica has many good restaurants. There are several good fish Carda restaurants along the Danube. We provide a house book of over 20 pages, covering practical information about the house, a guide to the village, and to sights and restaurants in the surrounding towns.

It is easy to make day-trips to Subotica, Palic, Sombor, Novi Sad, Sremski Karlovci, Apatin, and Szeged (in Hungary).
