Dominic’s place “Secret Little Eden” is not just a place but indeed a very special experience that is to be enjoyed. Dom’s property is a rural sanctuary looking up at the magnificent Mt. Rowland and set on 60 hectares of stunning scenery. The house is set on its own and totally private surrounded by grassland, bush and gardens with birdlife everywhere.
At night, the crickets and frogs send you off to sleep in a heartbeat especially when the rain comes down on the iron roof. Then waking up to Mt. Rowland out your bedroom window.
A few sheep and horses that are friendly and hungry for apples that are left in the fridge. A pond with platypus (need to be vigilant to see them) and some great tracks through the bushland making easy walking. A lovely deck and a huge hot spa are just what is needed to make the most of this getaway.
The house with two levels …. well there is an experience in itself. Everything is so eclectic with vibrant colours and furnishings from both antique to modern. Every room has something to feast your eyes on and even after two nights here we still discovered something new every day. Never a dull moment exploring the house (it is certainly large) with 2 wood heaters one in each of the loungerooms.
A kitchen with a great side by side fridge freezer and an amazing gas cooker with two ovens and not forgetting the marvellous coffee barrister machine. You never have to leave if you bring your supplies to cook up anything you wish. It’s better than our kitchen at home.
Dom has thought of absolutely everything and the goodies in the fridge gave us great breakfasts but there is more, Dom is a chef and has owned and operated several restaurants and he will come on over and cook you a personal 3-course dinner experience. We loved it….. the food was exquisite and the conversation was delightful. Just what my wife wanted to celebrate her Birthday.
Thanks, Dom, for sharing your wonderful place and entertaining us with your skills and conversation from the kitchen. We will most certainly be back and for a longer stay next time.
