The first time I ever baked bread was right here. A three metre workbench all dusty in flour. We picked fresh rosemary from up the hill and caramelised it with some garlic and butter. And as I folded the dough, I noticed the horses watching me throug
When you stand inside it’s not dark. Inside it almost glows. The golden warmth is inviting, some how it feels immediately like home. I hope you notice the glow. The fire is nice, but it’s not from that, it must be the abundance of nature,

The kind of place you bring your boots. That jacket and beanie because you know they’ll look cute. You throw in the jeans you don’t always wear. And you decide each day to not wash your hair. ⠀ Here you can be makeup free, or in a country
Each day you have a few jobs. The jobs are not like home... The horses need feed and you have to collect more firewood. It’s cold out. Proper cold. And you notice the morning frost makes everything more artistic. Your footsteps create a winding
I can’t promise we are for everyone. We want those who will sit in the cold to spot a shooting star and who know the sunset is worth the hike. We entice those who see beauty in nature’s skulls and how our kitchen matches the gum trees out

The double butler sink, the iconic farmhouse piece we could not go without when renovating The Ranch. When you stand here preparing your breakfast, washing the wine glasses from last night, you can see out the barn doors. You spot roos in the distanc

I noticed the picnic rugs caught some thorns on the way down. I saw it happening, wild flowers and farmers friends were plenty. But he held my hand, I wasn’t going to let go. It’s been a while since he held my hand like that. It’s b
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks”. A saying that seems philosophical, until you wake up and wander our hills, high grasses hitting your knees. The tiny wild flowers catch your eye, the type you may have never
What has been your silver lining? Is it the slow mornings, or time to prepare a real meal? Have you built a fire, or walked at sunrise? Did you snuggle in bed, or enjoy a good red? Is it the well weeded garden or your makeup free face? ✨ Isolation mi

The river runs behind me. The wildflowers and weeds reach right up to my knees. It was only last season, I stood in the same position and wondered longingly if it would ever rain again... Not anymore. Now the gum boots are needed. The ride on mower h
You kick the barn doors open. You spot him over there, behind the rosemary bushes, through the smoke of the distant campfire. He is cooking you breakfast over coals. The kitchen is clean, coffee is brewing and you wonder why you don’t spend mor
