We are Dom, Brenna, Merlin (15), Emrys (12) and Lailoken (7). We are a creative and nature loving family. We have built our hempcrete home on our land in Chewton. Chewton is based in the Central Goldfields area of Victoria. It's a stunning area which is very close to the town of Castlemaine.

Accommodation
We have accommodation in our hemp hut near the main house. We have heating, hot water, shower, compost toilet, fridge and a basic cooking area. You may also use the facilities of our family home. We don't use wifi as we consider it harmful though we do have ethernet connection in the main house.
What else ...
We are set in a wonderful location overlooking Forest Creek and the world famous goldfields site. We are between Chewton and Castlemaine. Our gardens are being built around permicultural principles. There is plenty to do here such as exploring the goldfield sites, swimming in the local lake or visiting Castlemaine (10 mins by bike) where there are plenty of cool places to visit. It's also a great area for country walks or cycling, we can provide bikes. The area is also rich in history.
Melbourne is 75 minutes away by train.
