About the host
Hosted by Sally Keady
Swallows Welcome, a 120 acre property was purchased by my parents, Tim and Patricia Negus in 1988. They planted a vineyard and built a mud brick house, winery, art studio and chapel using the earth and timber from the property. My father passed away in 2017 and Mum moved in to Margaret River in 2021 so the winery and art studio are currently closed although it is undergoing renovation for future holiday accommodation and weddings/parties/concerts/retreats in the chapel from July 2023.
My husband, Matt and I started restoring the original group settlement cottage, 'Swallows Cottage' in 1999 and we have enjoyed many family holidays there since then. In 2012 we decided that it would be nice to share the cottage with other people and to derive some income from renting it out to help with the maintenance and upgrades.
