| Eltham Garden Retreat, a self-contained mudbrick cottage set in a Gordon Ford-designed garden, extensively anthologised in Australian garden history books. The garden is part of the Open Gardens Australia, is twenty-five minutes from the centre of Melbourne. The trio of circular mud brick buildings, was completed late in 1997. A fully equipped kitchen, bedroom with ensuite, a comfortable sitting room and private courtyard with waterfall complete the suite. The three mudbrick rooms are interlinked, providing bedroom with an ensuite, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting room (mudbrick insulated in both summer and winter). A bookcase provides contemporary reading along with local and international garden books and magazines. Television, video, fridge, radio and electric blankets are provided. French doors lead to a courtyard surrounded by a curved mud wall which provides privacy and seclusion. A waterfall cascading over basalt rocks into a small pool creates a restful ambience in the courtyard. A substantial breakfast tray of seasonal food, homemade jams and breads, and ingredients for a cooked breakfast are supplied. Alternatively, a prepared breakfast and newspaper are delivered at your convenience. Excellent coffee and tea are stored in the cupboard along with superior condiments. |
