Nestled between secluded beaches (5min walk) and a private valley, Tiny Lemon Farm is an escape where cockatoos flock, kangaroos hop and the sound of waves fill the night air. Only 5mins from town, our modern, barn style house is a sanctuary of peace and calm for up to 6 guests.
The space:
The house has a modern farm feel, with plenty of space to spread out and lounge in the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas, including an indoor fire place with wood supplied in winter months.
The house overlooks a lemon orchard to the west featuring a newly dug dam with deck, and a towering tree line of gums. You'll also glimpse an ephemeral wetland we are working to bring back to glory.
The kitchen includes a 6 burner gas stove and large oven, perfect for cooking up a feast. Morning light streams in to the breakfast bar over the eastern courtyard complete with fire-pit, rustic log seating and warm outdoor lighting.
The deep verandah includes deck chairs (yes, deck chairs), a new webber bbq and an outdoor table.
There are three bedrooms, with one queen bed and two doubles and all linen and pillows provided.
Features our guests love include:
* beautiful large bath for soaking, and stunning walk in shower
* being immersed in nature, but just a 5min drive to town
* luxurious feel to the home inside
* 5min walk to a private beach (Jaggers beach - not patrolled)
* pick lemons from the orchard and trade them for scoops at Gelati Clinic (about 4 lemons gets you one scoop of gelati)
* free, unlimited wi-fi access with sonos speaker
* stove top coffee pot with freshly ground beans provided
* wood fire with wood supplied (May to September), and a split system a/c for all other times
* excellent book collection and some games to get through rainy days
We are working to restore this unique 5 hectare property to its former glory including substantial new plantings of flowering trees and shrubs (grevillea, banksia, protea, melaleuca, leucadendron) restoration of a sensitive wetland zone (she-oak, melaleuca), new niche forestry plantings (bunja pine, illawarra plum) and of course an orchard expansion
Guest access:
Plenty of room to park up a car, boat and trailer, in our generous U-shaped drive. Pull up alongside the house to a carport on the eastern side for easiest access day to day.
You can walk to a private beach (mind the steps) nearby, or head into town for great coffee, swimming spots and more - parking is almost never a problem in town
Other things to note:
Tiny Lemon Farm is a 15 acre property, bordering "the bush", with a dam and wildlife coming and going all the time - this includes the potential to encounter snakes and ticks if you go wandering. There are fences, but they will not secure curious pets or adventurous children, so please keep them on a tight leash (the pets that is) or at least keep a close eye.
