We're on our way

Gareth & I had always wanted to escape Sydney and a few years ago we were lucky to stumble across this beautiful paradise called Carool. This is our story of building our dream home. We look forward to sharing this with you over the coming year or so and hopefully look forward to welcoming you as our guest when we open our small luxury B&B.

Things are moving!!

It's great to finally see things happening. We first started talking to architects and builders in 2008 and as most people know this is not a simple process. After 8 months in council, we received our development consent in January 2010. Now we're knee deep in civil & structural engineers, architect, consultants, excavators, tree loppers.... you name it, they're here. And we haven't even started building yet!
Strange how every time you make a phone call it seems to cost you $5000 these days.....
Anyway, it's all part of the 'escape' plan......more detail on that later. Cheers.

    Congrats on getting your blog up... looking forward to following the progress of Escape Retreat. Can you please ask Gareth to put his ice-cream recipe up (it was mind blowingly - and thigh growingly - good).
