Chrissie and Michael Rowland
One hectare in a rural setting overlooking the sea (D’entrecasteaux Channel) and Bruny Island. Small farmlet with well established (28 years) orchards, vegetable and ornamental gardens, chickens and sheep. We cook from the garden as much as possible and build with as much re-purposed material as possible. Your hosts are Michael Rowland(a garden and woodcraft teacher)and Chrissie Rowland (homeopath, chef and sailing instructor).
