About the host
Hosted by Mary and Warwick Grace
My husband and I love this property so peaceful with stunning views of the Obi ObI Valley. I am from UK coming as a fiancee for the first time to Australia in 1987, to have a exciting adventure in this Great Southland. My husband is from PNG born of missionary parents. We met in Israel working on a kibbutz back in 1985. My husband has worked in horticulture all his life and he is most interested in native plants endemic to the area. Many birds visit, a red browed finch got caught behind a painting in the lounge room the other day at the lodge. The lodge has been a part of his work for 20 years. We took over managing the lodge this year as Michael and Robyn retired after 17 years
Why they chose this property
The 1km driveway is part of the Great Walks with a track down to Baxter's Falls. It takes you into another world. A wonderful escape from city life! Turn off your phones and devices and drink it in.
What makes this property unique
The property is most unique with no other homes in view you are in the beautiful bush, which the house is a part of. It is an exceptional design that has a wonderful outdoor feel as you open the bi-fold windows and doors and take in the scenery.
