Feast Your Eyes On Victoria's Greatest Gardens

Victoria’s recent apocalyptic weather has given us rain, hail and shine in the space of only a few days, but the clouds are finally clearing for Garden Design Fest! Over the next two weekends a spectacular lineup of regional, coastal and metropolitan gardens will be opened for the public to peruse from 10am-5pm.

Here are some of our must-sees!

A Converted Train Carriage Turned Breathtaking Off-Grid Cabin

Tara Rowe and her partner Luke have lived with their young family on their 300 acre farm on the west coast of South Australia for the last seven years.

The property is half a working farm (yielding wheat and canola crops) and half a regeneration project, but the couple have always wanted to create a boutique accommodation offering on their slice of remote wilderness. So, when they found an antique train carriage at a junk sale in a neighbouring town, a unique opportunity presented itself!

Restored with local timber and filled with a mix of vintage furniture by local dealers and new pieces by Australian makers – The Greenly Carriage has panoramic views over the Southern Ocean, Mount Greenly, Lake Greenly and the rolling countryside. This is a very special place to stay!
