Charleson is a friendly, sustainable environment with a house designed using passive solar architecture to enhance natural light, capture winter sun for warmth and provide shade and cross ventilation in summer. It provides solar energy and rainwater, and the house is kept sparkling with eco-friendly products. Enjoy organic vegetables and herbs straight from the garden. Plastics/paper/glass are recycled, and fruit and vegetable waste can be given to the goats and farm animals who are very eager to sample a range of treats!...

We grew up in rural Victoria, spending our childhoods roaming farmland from dawn till dusk. We wanted the same careless freedoms for our children and a place where people could come, breathe out and leave their cares behind.
We hope that you take the time to absorb the expansive views, relax, share food, love and laughter with family and friends, and that you return home re-energised.
Enjoy!
Maria & John
