This place is very unconventional in the broadest sense of the word. Amazing architecture. (Though somewhat unpractical here and there).
I am an artist myself and have an open mind and love unconventional. It ticks all the boxes for an “arthouse” although it might not tick all the boxes for a “holiday home” (at least for us). I can only say that ease of use and comfort is sacrificed for architectural greatness. It is worth mentioning that the walls are fantastically packed with artworks. The works are presented well though not an uplifting or rustic style you might expect in a holiday home like soothing landscapes or calming Buddhas but one which is rather intimidating and sinister.
Practicalities; toilet and bathroom are open air. I doubt if sheets were replaced, because there was a lot of sand in the bed. We found items in the fridge which had gone off. A dirty pan. In short I would not give the house 5 stars for cleanliness. For some acceptable for others not.
This house does not provide much privacy either. Next door neighbours and by-passers can look straight in. Ok for dogs but not fenced off. If you are a light sleeper this is also not the place for you because there are trains passing every half hour during the night. The landscape and views might compensate for that. However it depends which direction you look. We were going to stay 2 nights. We decided to leave home after one night.
I am sure there are people out there who absolutely love this, we were not one of those unfortunately. For the positives please read other reviews. I hope i have either triggered a curious interest in people wanting to go there or a mmm maybe not for me reaction.
Toodyay has to wait for another time to be explored.
