Hello and welcome, We would like to introduce ourselves Christiane and my husband Ian Telfer. I am a Nurse and also enjoy hosting Guests and my husband is a carpenter and designer of this beautiful overgrown Sheppard's Hut / Apartment. His passion is building bespoke construction, myself I love gardening and our animals. We would like to add, that there is enough room for a young family with baby or toddler. unfortunately we have no extra bed in our Tiny Home. A cot would have to be brought by the family.
Our area we live in is peaceful on a 5 acre farmlet, a short walk from the beach ( 845m from the Hut) and a beautiful approx. 20 minute walk to the town center along the beach promenade. If you plan to go out to a restaurant, shopping or plan trips Taxis are available. There is a large number of activities from Bike riding, Hiking, Chartered fishing, Dining, Leisure boating and many many beaches to lay and swim at. The Peninsula has got many Artists and some with private Galleries.
