I‘m a former actor, come Opera Director and I bought the farm 5 years ago with a real need to feel connected to the land. My two kids and I, as much as we’d love to, can’t realistically make the full time move to the farm and so I want to share it’s beauty. My vegetable garden is my creative outlet these days - there is nothing more satisfying than growing, picking, cooking and eating your own food! I want to share the pleasure that this slice of paradise gives to our family (including my two beautiful golden retrievers) with others to enjoy. I hope that you see the beauty I do in nature - how lucky we are!!!

Star Gazing

The open sky at Lalwinya Cottage gave us the best view of the stars on our first night. Sitting out on the deck, we were able to even see Mars! We also had a little play with spotlighting on the property.

Jetty On The Dam

We walked down to the jetty to enjoy our first afternoon here. It was such a beautiful dam - if the weather was warmer, most definitely bring your bathers! Dusty had a good swim, and we had a great time relaxing in the sunshine overlooking the water.
