As seen on TV! For about a year we were filmed for a show called “Our Dream Hotel”, about newcomers to the hotel industry. So far we’ve been on in the Netherlands, Australia, the UK, Sweden, New Zealand, and Canada.

The room is set up as a studio bedroom, and is around 35 square metres. The space includes a private bathroom with shower, a kitchenette area, a wardrobe, table and chairs, a coffee table, and a large sofa. The sofa could be used as a daybed or for kids to sleep on. There is also a private veranda (an additional 12 square metres) overlooking an olive grove.

After 20 years living in the UK and Germany, my Australian partner Jason and I had had enough of the cold weather and decided to build a guest house in the beautiful Aegean region of Turkey. For many years we've been interested in green building techniques, so it was natural for us to use timber-frame straw-bale construction. We're new to the hospitality industry but have always enjoyed cooking and entertaining. We hope that visitors in search of summer sun and local experiences will find our place to be a relaxing oasis in the countryside, and return from their holiday with batteries fully recharged. Between us we're interested in reading, movies, gardening, and history. Whether you want to see all the archaeological sites or just relax by the pool, we look forward to meeting you.
