The outdoor gardens, picnic table and other seating areas are shared with the owners. Guests can use these areas of the gardens including the picnic table and benches. OURSELVES - Paul is from Philadelphia originally and JoAnne is from Cleveland. Their journey involved a few countries and Queensland, Sydney and now the Blue Mountains in Australia. We first visited the Blue Mountains in 2014 and within a few weeks knew we wanted to retire here for the rest of our lives. We came in every season to assess the weather and to see if JoAnne was warm enough in winter! She was and we bought this lovely weatherboard house with guest annex in 2015. After a recent renovation, the annex and gardens are ready now to share with you. Questions, please contact us!
