House love

I had an email from a lovely reader, Steph, giving me the heads-up on a home she thought I might like. Well, she wasn't wrong - 'Ammamead' is a gorgeous, renovated Queenslander (my fave) set amongst rolling hills in the Byron hinterland. It embodies all of my favourite features - lots of white, that relaxed, beachy vibe, and a good helping of original art.














Oh, and what's more, it's available to rent. How perfect would this place be for an extended family holiday? Plenty of room, stunning views, pool, and only minutes to the stunning beaches of Byron. Perfect!

    Oh you are cruel :) This just makes me want to accelerate my retirement plans!! Because I sure as heck couldn't afford the rent! It's very beautiful isn't it?

    Oh if only! what a gorgeous home! Perfectly designed for the setting and the pool looks so enticing! I may not be able to make it for a holiday, but in my mind I've already had a dip in the pool and for now, that will have to suffice!

    Oh that is a gorgeous home Kerri. I love the colour scheme and I really like that louvre window in the bathroom. How unusual to have the fire place as a room divider... hmmm.. don't mind it actually. ;-)

    Gorgeous!! The porch is just amazing!!! We have houses by us that are on the lake that are available to rent during the winter season. I always thought it would be fun to "live" on the lake for a couple months!
