From the pictures you see this beautiful home with stunning views but in person it is so much more. It is a home for the creatives, the open minders and those who just want to step out of their comfort zone. It is unique because it doesn't force you to stay in a particular way but rather lets your creativity take hold and guide you.
When we arrived, I'll admit we wondered whether we made the wrong decision BUT once we settled ourselves and made it our space we were able embrace what it had for offer. In fact we were well and truly out of our comfort zone but we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity. If you can brave it, a bath outside with spectacular views is a very freeing feeling.
There are some key points I want to make for those who want to bring their young kiddo's along (ours is 1) and they are in no way a bad reflection on the home (as the warning was given) but rather something to keep in mind. It goes without saying you will need to keep an eye on your kiddos! Other than the usual i.e. hard floors, access to rivers and stairs, bits to grab and pull, there are a few points you may want to keep an extra special eye. There is a metal wire on the fireplace in one sleeping space that could do some damage if fell on. The concrete flooring and glass windows (no furnishings) means it will get cold so if you have a portacot we would suggest using one of the blankets underneath and/or bring a warmer set of clothes/sleepsuits. With no furnishings on the windows you may want to invest in a black out curtain for day naps. The last point is that there are a few art pieces that were rather out there (more on the scary scale) which are a bit hard to avoid.
With that being said these points did not ruin the experience it and it is completely doable. Paul and Felicity gave us an extensive list of information which helped us a lot and were very easy to contact. I would definitely come back and visit again, even with the huntsman we managed to bring home :D
