We’d like to take you all on a little journey, back to the beginning to show you how far we’ve all come together in building and growing our ever thriving Avalon Family.
Avalon was born, with the construction by the original owners Kevin and Bebe, who’s dream was to provide accommodation for Respite Care.
Soon after with the addition of a conference room (now known as the Silver Room) they became known as a Retreat Centre and expanded their guests to include groups such as yoga and reiki.
New owners Delveen and Peter took over Avalon and went straight to work renovating with a fresh coat of paint throughout. TV’s were fitted, new more pleasant air-conditioning was added to each guest room and the main areas.
We decided to expand the family by including some goats to keep the weeds down and add some atmosphere while venturing through the gardens.
We purchased new bed covers to suit the guest rooms. One of our regular craft groups, Rough Diamonds began making cushions and bed runners for each room, and a wall hanging to match.
Thank you to the Rough Diamond ladies that contributed and a special thank you to Barb for quilting, and Teena for coordinating the project. They have made the guest rooms feel homely.
We did another fresh coat of paint bringing the guest rooms from white to a warm grey, and wooden headboards were added for a warm cozy feeling.
With a keen interest being shown for Craft Retreats an additional conference room was added to Avalon Homestead.
A portion of the garden was transformed into a mini orchard, with fruit trees, fresh vegetables and herbs, for the kitchen, and for the guests to help themselves to straight from the garden.
Avalon homestead has blossomed into what is now the perfect rural setting to host fully catered private or business events, Craft Retreats, Conferences, Meditation groups, Seniors and Carers groups, intimate weddings, Christmas Parties, Special Birthdays or Anniversaries, or even just a get together with friends, or some personal time out. We have gone from having 4 staff members, to having a total of 10 and grown as a business as well as personally, overcoming the many hurdles in our continuing journey here at Avalon.
