Additional Information
You can soak up both the ‘Luna’ and the ‘sea’ by being close to the ocean and looking at the night sky through a huge, star-shaped skylight.
Guests will NOW be able to enjoy the exciting addition of an elevated, transparent dome with a full view of the open countryside and vast night sky.
Yes! Your own planetarium in Lunasea.
The clear winter dome cover goes on in April and off in December where it is replaced by a shade canvas.
You will have a unique experience staying in this author’s eclectic house.
Jo is also a creative artist in 3D format and invites you to enjoy the quirkiness of her abode. You will delight in her sense of colour and the ridiculous.
Wander around the garden and find numerous art installations, whilst enjoying your complimentary bottle of wine.
Both children and adults alike can take part in an outdoor scavenger hunt to find unusual items in the garden.
You will relax in a delightful, tranquil setting on the large deck at the back and take in an expanse of rolling hills, trees and passing wildlife.
You are only a short walk from the shops and the patrolled beach One and only 200 yards from the walking/ cycling track to Tarwin Lower.
These are just some of the aspects of ‘Lunasea’.
This is not just a lovely place to stay in, but a unique, visual experience.
If you like something out of the ordinary, something quirky and something unexpected, then this is the house for you to stay in.
The house has two bedrooms: one Queen room and one double/single bunk room.
There is one bathroom, an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, a split system air conditioner, wood heater, flat screen, new Smart TV, DVD, stereo, microwave, washing machine and large BBQ.
The floors are polished wood and you will delight in the enormous Tasmanian Oak, wave-shaped dining table /kitchen work area. The large front windows and sliding doors are double glazed opening onto a large boat-themed, front deck. You cannot miss the sculptured figurehead jutting out from the front of the bow!
You will have a memorable holiday in this author/ artist retreat and who knows……in this atmosphere you may write the beginning of your first novel or simply feel inspired to return home and be creative in your own way.

I am an author of over 30 books for children and teachers but have put away my pencil over the the last decade and had a wonderful time creating a sense of colour and fun into my house and garden. I am thrilled to be able to share it with those of you who enjoy the diverse and the different.
come and relax and maybe even come up with some ideas of your own in Lunasea.
