Spruced up.

Now with pantry space, a bigger fridge and plants.

I do love the opportunities I get to give the ole girl a gussy-up.

The week COVID started we had Connor move into Retro Granny AND we picked our puppy Chewbacca up from Greenbah Groodles & Labradoodles Dubbo

Gosh it has been lovely watching them bond while we have all been home so much.

We leave Connor largely to do his own thing but the two things I do know about him is that he loves a strong coffee and pastry from Barista Miss and a Chewie cuddle any time he sees him.

Where are you going to Airbnb next now that restrictions have lifted?

Got any pearlers you can share?

RETRO GRANNY'S SISTER BUSINESS

I run two businesses from our little patch of paradise here in Lambton.

Here is an article where both were mentioned in Newcastle Herald this week for you to get an insight into what goes on here.

We have had a lot of long-staying guests over the last year and between them have enjoyed 'hiding' the occassional overwhelmed parent who just needed 24 or 48hrs bunkered down and off the treadmill of life to recharge. I will announce here once we can offer those types of stays again.

BnB, business and family home...this Lambton property welcomes everyone.

Growing up these little beauties. They are cuttings from Woody over at A Good Sort. Come spring I will plant them all about and you can hit me up for colourful cuttings to do the same.

There is a certain sort of guest you armpump over getting to host for 3mths across COVID and it is definately Connor. Able to stay due to his extenuating circumstances he has been so lovely and easy.....we might just keep discounting to keep him....

Thanks Connor

Retro Granny BnB was built by Des in the mid 60s for his father-in law.

The adjacent home we live in was a gunbarrell house and he cleverly added on the grannyflat and then put a big ole flatter-pitched roof over the lot.

It was great to have Des stroll in today to say hi and send him home with some limes off his huge old tree that has had trunk damage for years but is as prolific as ever.

Thesedays the garage he used as a woodwork den had been converted and is my work studio (Love Parenting Newcastle )

I meant to get some depression-era tips while he was here but forgot. Ah well....I will invite him back. Daddy Retro and I couldn't believe it....he looks younger every time we see him.

A Sanctuary for Families

We exchanged contracts sight- unseen on our house with attached grannyflat while away on holidays two days before Christmas in 2015. Thesedays you can see so much in the photos and the floorplans and the building inspector report could best be summed up with ‘in great nick’. I remember faxing my side of the paperwork from Mullumbimby library to marry up with my husband’s in Newcastle. It was stressful but felt right. Fast forward two years and we have hosted hundreds of guests through Airbnb all with interesting stories and reasons for needing a sanctuary in Lambton. Most have had young children and to better cater to that we have set up a play area that is indoor/outdoors downstairs and gumtree-ed our little hearts out buying more toys and equipment. It has served as a great warm-up business that gave me confidence to leave my 10 year Family Worker role in a government-funded organisation and start my private practice (Love Parenting) working as a Parenting Consultant/Mentor. I book out time in Retro Granny BnB for somewhere safe and nurturing to see clients and love that I always know the tea canister will be full and where to find the fresh bickie stash. What can you expect if you stay at Retro Granny BnB ? A space where you can feel at home to trip down memory lane with some of the nostalgic decor, be treated to the odd nice surprise discreetly left for you and to be able to comfortably accommodate yourself and your kids for an affordable price in a central Newcastle suburb with minimum fuss. Want to know more? I’d love to answer your questions. Mel
