Description
Hi. my name is Pete. I’m a musician, nature lover, distiller. I have a (huge) beautiful garden right on the Hawkesbury River, only one hour north of Sydney by train, on Dangar Island. Our unique community is water access only. I have my own boat and a public ferry operates regularly. The cabin accommodation is in the garden itself, with shared kitchen and bathroom, and a cool outdoor fireplace. The terraced gardens are amazing. I am a musician and would love the opportunity to play music with visitors. Most of the work will be in the garden with a project to repair the jetty as well.
