We were so happy to come across John and Victoria's barn. Firstly, everything about the process was easy, including communications with Victoria.
Secondly, the place was way more beautiful than the pictures showed. It faced north and over a valley, so we had stunning views and sun rises. We enjoyed a sun-filled breakfast each day either outside or inside on the huge wooden table. The light streamed into this loft-style space all day (which heated the soft touch concrete floors) and with the high ceilings and louvres, you could get a beautiful breeze flowing through.
We cooked a few meals in the great sized kitchen and lounged a lot on the enormous comfy couch. The decor was the perfect combination of minimal, natural, comfy and warm with beautiful furnishings. The concrete floor was also perfect for putting out our yoga mats. The clever design took advantage of the site and I noticed some new design feature each day.
Victoria checked in regularly to see if we needed more fresh water or anything else and was always just a text message away. She comes across as a gorgeous human being and was so incredibly hospitable - even dropping off a bottle of wine and chocolates for some noise some tradies made (that we honestly barely heard and didn't think anything of). She also offered a late checkout as the barn wasn't booked the day we were leaving.
It was just perfect for our retreat-style holiday we were after. A beautiful energy all around. We wish John and Victoria all the very best.
