101 Love Shack

Our rustic 1903 mud-brick studio is made from river sand and mud sourced from the local Great Western area. The studio was built as a fruit kitchen by the Patching family who owned and operated a number of orchards along Concongella Creek and Salt Creek. The fruit kitchen has been recently renovated into a 1-bed studio which offers history and modern comforts.

The Barn at Weatherboard

Set among an abundant and lively garden, The Barn is our fully detached, unique guest house. The building was originally a fully functional blue stone farm barn but since owning the property we have converted the space into an open plan house, complete with kitchen, bathroom, large living area and two mezzanine bedrooms. The outside remains in its original state while the inside has been decorated with a collection of artwork and objects from our travels overseas.

The Van in the Bush

In early 2024 Pomonal faced a devastating bushfire that ravaged the community, resulting in the loss of 44 homes. Miraculously, our van in the bush survived. The bush is now regrowing, a testament to nature's resilience. The van is in a secluded location with no neighbours in sight, so if you’re looking for a romantic weekend or just some quality time with a good friend then this is the place for you.
