Lives in Bowral, Australia
Hi, I’m Janet. I live with my family in beautiful Bowral in The Southern Highlands of NSW. We opened the barn doors of our charming Coach House to guests over a decade ago, and recently opened The Schoolhouse to guests, too. Nestled in meandering gardens near Mount Gibraltar, The Coach House was the original stables and coach house on the grounds of our heritage estate, The Rift. We have had the pleasure of sharing our luxury property with wonderful guests from all over Australia and worldwide.
