The Garden:

The house is built on a 836m2 block and we have always loved the idea of a productive garden. As well as large lawn areas we have a decent orchard with (mainly summer) fruit aplenty.

We have to net the fruit trees but that is to keep the birds out, not you! The long driveway can cater for more than one car – although in single file. The secure yard is fenced securely with corrugated iron on 3 sides and a hedge at the front, giving good privacy. As well as that touch of luxury the idea of a light ecological footprint is important. White Cedars has PV cells, a solar HWS and is run mainly on rainwater (66kl tanks). The water is filtered before entering the house. There is also an added carbon filter for kitchen drinking water.

The living area is north and west facing to maximise winter sunshine. Large eaves provide  welcome shade in summer.

On the roadside verge, the large White Cedar trees, Melia azedarach – one of Australia’s few native deciduous trees – were raised as seedlings from the seeds of huge Cedars which were growing on the land prior to the new build. This is, of course, how we named the house.

Outdoor Deck:

A large upper deck with separate areas for outdoor relaxing includes

  • A flexible outdoor dining setting

  • Weber Q barbecue

  • Sliding doors throughout enabling the living to flow from inside to outside in favourable weather.

 

Prices:

Prices for a stay at White Cedars vary with holiday seasons. There is a minimum 3-night stay, but over the December-January school holidays it is a minimum of 7 nights.
