About this property
Spacious Eco Home Among Native Gardens – Peaceful Family Retreat
Step into our enchanting eco-modern retreat—a sustainable haven where contemporary comfort and natural beauty converge to create the ultimate escape. Designed for flexible living, this home stays refreshingly cool in summer and warmly inviting in winter. Unwind on hammocks beneath charming pergolas, work at a bright desk in a well-appointed room, and reinvigorate in your private gym. Savor alfresco dining on lush, expansive lawns, or dreamily stargaze for an unforgettable getaway.
Need more space?: The property is shared with our separate eco studio (also available for rent), both dwellings have their own private gardens and entrances and are functionally separated, with about 30m between the two.
Key Features & Amenities:
· Modern Living Spaces: Enjoy a light-filled open-plan living area that seamlessly connects the gourmet kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. Near floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the surrounding garden and grape vines.
· Elegant Bedrooms: Three beautifully appointed bedrooms including a master suite and second bedroom with a luxurious king bed, plus additional comfortable sleeping arrangements in the other rooms.

· Eco-Friendly Design: Embrace sustainable living with eco-conscious construction and design, recycled materials, and a way of living that invites the outside to be part of your day.

About the host
Hosted by Matt Brebner

Over the past 10+ years, we transformed empty farmland into an enchanting eco-haven garden retreat, learning every skill along the way to create a perfect escape. With over 15 years in hospitality, we designed and built this light-filled, natural series of buildings initially for our loved ones—our family, parent and friends—that we now proudly share with you. Enjoy a space crafted for introspection, healing, and happiness.
