Falling in love with a beautiful sandstone home nestled in a valley in Capertee Valley, NSW, was just the beginning for TV journalist Edwina Bartholomew.â â 42-hectare Warramba, which is rented out as boutique accommodation and for workshops and events, was given some good old TLC in ways sympathetic to the home's original structure - including, most recently, a stunning mineral pool. "...the bones were still wonderful," says Edwina, "so we certainly haven't changed anything on the outside. The only real change was to make the bathroom a bit bigger, and we also had to replace all the floors."â â Step inside via the link in bio.â â Photography: @marniehawson (second image)â Styling: Hannah Bradyâ Words: Tracey Plattâ â #bluemountainsnsw #mineralpool #accommodationnsw #countryaccommodation #holidaystay

Having been on the hunt for a country cottage for nearly two years, Belinda Neame and Tim Bean were passionate about rural life â but on the verge of giving up. That is, until Belinda thought to look in Gunning, where they spotted Hold Cottage online.â â "We went to see it the very next day, pulled up outside and said, 'Yep, it's ours,'" says Belinda.
Instead of totally overhauling their character-filled beach shack in Weymouth, Tasmania, interiors-savvy Di Loone opted to instead build an extension around the original shack, adding a new open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge space that flows onto a large deck overlooking the ocean.â â Complemented by a relaxed decorating style and with a backing soundtrack that only a coastal location such as this can afford, it's the perfect place to drop anchor and just be. "It feels like a very long way from civilisation," says Di.â â Take a tour via the link in bio.â â Photography: @marniehawsonâ Styling: @ecoco.com.auâ Words: @penny.carrollâ â #beachhouse #coastalhome #weatherboardhome #whiteexterior #beachshack
â Aptly named after the Roman goddess of harvest and abundance, and renowned for its cultural significance, Ceres Homestead is a historic property in Central Victoria that was once the holiday home for Queen Victoria's son, the Duke of Edinburgh. â â Acquiring Ceres in 2008, the Charles family fell in love with the property, which took them on a 14-year-long restoration of this significant piece of architectural history. Now, the majestic house and gardens have returned to their former glory, offering a perfect setting for bespoke events, workshops, or weddings with a Jane Austen-esque garden party ambience. â â Alongside offerings of the luxury spaces at Ceres Homestead, you can now find a selection of curated homewares and antiques online. From Australian-made woollen blankets to European linen tea towels, bring a touch of Ceresâ charm and classic style into your own abode. â â Head to the link in our bio to explore the full homewares and antique collection. â â #countryhomestead #beautifulhomes #weddingvenue â
