The week ends here.
Farm living at The Retreat means long lunches outdoors, friends who stay over, and a garden that's yours.
The small things you'll look forward to.
- i
Friday evening arrival
The city falls away somewhere on the drive.
- ii
Saturday in the garden
Water, pick, plant, potter. No list required.
- iii
The long lunch
Outdoors, unhurried, with whoever turned up.
- iv
Sunday mornings
Slow coffee and the sound of birds, before the drive home.
A place big enough for everyone.
Birthdays, festivals, the cousins at last. Farm living is better shared, and a weekend home is where the family finally fits in one place.
Grow a little. Eat well.
Herbs by the kitchen, vegetables in raised beds, fruit trees that get better every year. Start small; the garden will tell you what it wants next.
Every season has its own weekend.
Green everything
Planting time, wet earth and evenings on the veranda.
Days outdoors
Long walks, long lunches, a fire after dark.
Early and shady
Garden in the morning, rest through the heat.
Walk the land with us.
Visits are private and by appointment.
