Mel and I are people that love challenges in life and embrace all opportunities, like buying this estate in 2014. Moving from the city and not knowing anything about farming and maintaining a country estate we had to learn quickly. Just after settling on the property we discovered the harvest season was just around the corner, so we quickly learnt from neighbouring farmers and key olive people in order to be ready to give the olive harvest a go. With a heap of enthusiasm and the desire to do well, we engage our friends and began to harvest with Gianni, our olive expert at the helm.
To compliment our first harvest, we purchased our own Olive Press to ensure pressing olives into extra virgin olive oil could be done within the hour. The results was a cold pressed, robust, peppery extra virgin olive oil that won a bronze medal in its first year at the Australian Olive Association national awards. We followed this up in 2016.
From this we felt the grove could still offer more, so in August 2016 a builder and myself began to restore and convert the villa. What was I thinking coming from a corporate background and not knowing a claw hammer from a sledge hammer! (do now!)
With a passion for perfection we painstakingly redesigned and rebuilt the villa whilst Mel my wife let her shopping senses go wild, always focusing on quality.
As a result we are proud to offer this exclusive villa for that special getaway for couples.
We aim to provide guests a high end luxurious stay whilst engaging with natures beauty and its surrounds. The stay may involve a curious stroll around the grove or discussing the processes of running it with me, the farmer or even both.
The guest has much on offer with a stroll into town or walking the George Bass Coastal walk with the added benefit of the walking track passing directly out the front of our property. Our guests may want to indulge in the local food and wine trail or maybe a days surfing, followed by the penguins then dinner. There is much on offer and Mel and I will do as much or as little as our guests request.
Cheers

On The Grove
This unique luxury experience is situated privately on a fully functioning Olive Grove.
Each season brings its own excitement in the journey of the olive tree. As guests of the Grove you are encouraged to join in as much or as little as you like. If you prefer to sit back and relax – then ignore the workings behind the scenes and indulge your senses in your secluded villa.
May – July is generally our picking season. The grove is busy with hand picking and pressing of the fruit. Join in and learn how this process is managed with the opportunity to taste fresh pressed EVOO – a taste sensation never to forget.
August – November the grove is in full swing with pruning and tree maintenance. The leaves are carefully selected and hand picked ready to make Olive leaf tea and Olive leaf extract.
All Year Round we are busy making hand made soaps, lip balms, dukkah, and general maintenance of the Grove – never a dull moment!
