About the host
Hosted by peter shaw

I am a retired Chinese-language teacher and school principal who is passionate about gardening and the arts. I also have a hobby of recycling local stone to build walls and arches in the garden (see pictures). I love travel and have travelled throughout Asia and the Pacific. I love talking with people about the places they have been and their journeys. I am a volunteer firefighter involved in many community activities.
Why they chose this property
Located on the 150-year-old property Cliffleigh, Studio 3 is a self-contained unit ideal for couples, single travellers or small families. Equipped with a comfortable queen bed and with kitchenette and attached private ensuite, it is easy walking distance from the town centre, station and Goldfields steam train. This is an easy no fuss place to enjoy the Goldfields.
What makes this property unique
The space has been extensively renovated with sustainability in mind. It has features that reduce heat loss and external heat gain. The studio is air-conditioned and heated, though is less reliant on these facilities because of its environmental design – for the most part it remains cool in summer and warm in winter.
The garden has extensive plantings of food plants and trees designed to work with the buildings to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's a wild jungle of trees and spaces designed to get lost in; you will need to search elsewhere for a neatly planted manicured settings.
