This home-away-from-home has been lovingly restored by its artisan owners and boasts a bohemian vintage ambience with a bold gypsy-like flair. Adding to the magic of this unique home is the vibrant canvas of colour throughout, beautiful lead light windows, and crafted French doors adding to the light and airy feel.
However it is stunning views towards Mount Donna Buang and Mount Victoria, the majestic tall timbers of yesteryear and the local flora and fauna that will work their magic and truly captivate.
