My Story
Nature, built by hand.
I built Unwind Escapes from the ground up, literally. It started in 2022 with pallets from Bunnings, a basic deck, and a single bell tent on a historic cricket ground in the Dooralong Valley.
From there, thanks to the guests who kept coming back, we built a Geodesic dome, a Safari Tent, and now our most luxurious accommodation yet. The question driving every decision is the same: how do we break down the barriers to nature? Most of us live in cities, and these wild spaces are exactly where people want to be. Our job is to make them easy to reach, with all the comforts of home. No roughing it.
When I'm not hosting, I'm in the arena with Ronnie and Elaine, the two young showjumpers I'm bringing up through the grades. Five years competing as a professional showjumper in the USA taught me how to develop young horses properly, and I get to apply all of it here, to my own, on the same property guests come to stay on. It's not lost on me.
