Kitchen cabinetry original but modern appliances and well equipped for entertaining friends and family in multiple indoor/outdoor living and dining spaces.
Top quality beds and linen, spacious master bedroom with chic dressing room attached.

About the host

Hosted by Jade Reidy

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Jade and I'm an experienced host. I used to vacation rent a previous house but now have this new vacation listing on vrbo.
I'm a freelance writer and arts project manager, which explains all the books and art you'll find in the house. My wanderlust has taken me to 46 countries on five continents, and I find people endlessly fascinating. In stay-home mode, I'm still developing this place as a productive organic orchard and garden.

Why they chose this property

LAST CHANCE for 20% discount. Only available for first 3 bookings. Two gone already.
This is a great place for self-care and to relax. You can feel at home surrounded by nature. It's so peaceful and comfortable, the kids can free range and you can easily keep your work going in a dedicated, well-set-up office area - or ignore it! Plenty of room to entertain family and friends over the holiday period. Superbly well-equipped, great beds and natural linens. Organic vegetables from the garden. What's not to like?

What makes this property unique

Unique opportunity to stay and play in a 48,000ha regenerating native forest surrounded by beaches, bays and vistas. Close to the city but a world apart.
