Quotes from the owners:
“ From every vantage point, this garden holds secrets. It has been a haven for us and we have loved it with care over 15 years. It is now a peaceful garden of shade and sunlight in constantly changing views. When we look at the mountains, from every room in the front of our home, whether they be covered in clouds, mist or sunlight, they offer incredibly different moods, light colour and energy”.
“Special places in the home include four different entertaining areas. We have designed the house to give us great options no matter what the weather. We look out on a private shady garden, or we have the panoramic view of the mountains, alternatively the pool room party, or the peace of the lily pond and environs.”“ We love to entertain, and so we have the easiest house in the world to clean and clear. Our friends love to come and visit us all the time, saying that they feel it is such a special place”.
“Personal favourite? My claw foot antique bath, which is in a glass conservatory overlooking the garden. It feels like I am in the garden, and my best place to rewind.”” The birdlife in this garden is incredible. We have daily visited from all of the native parrots in the region, with a special family of resident Yellow tailed black cockatoos. We have honey eaters and almost tame Kookaburras too, who share our peace. Our chickens, (6 – all with names) wander the grounds taking advantage of every opportunity to scrounge are often forced to take cover as two incredibly graceful wedge tailed eagles, soar through the skies”.
