Happy Friday peeps! It’s going to be a bit of a hectic day for me as I’m packing our suitcase. Yes, we’re off to see Oma in Germany and I am soooo looking forward to the break.

Lucky for us Oma (grandmother) lives in the most idyllic spot on the Baltic Sea coast in northern Germany and weather permitting we’ll have the grey city dust blown away in no time whilst playing on the beach and running around her vast garden looking for snails and other creepy crawlies.

So to get me in the holiday mood and to give you some eye-candy for the weekend I’m going to share another idyllic spot with you. Though this one is right on the other side of the planet with, ahem… slightly warmer weather, in southern Australia. Orchard Keepers is a home-from-home holiday rental and consists of a four bedroom house with a separate workers cottage providing accommodation for 10 people.

What struck me most about this place was the tasteful relaxed yet stylish and elegant interior which sits so well amongst the gentle rolling vineyards and orchards.

Inside chalk white walls and a calm colour palette of greys and browns dominate whilst personally sourced vintage furniture, lighting and artworks from across the globe add an eclectic feel. It’s a perfect backdrop to discover the unusual objects and details throughout the house. I’m a big fan of animal skulls and love the one above the vintage French armchair, a great spot for reading and watching the wildlife through the large patio doors. I know where I’d spend most of my time.

Orchard Keepers has a real personal feel to it as the owners also encourage guests to make full use of the kitchen gardens, even providing lists on what’s in season. And if you have a few kids in tow you’ll be pleased to hear that they’ve even got a playground. Heaven! Shame it’s on the other side of the planet – alas it’s off to the Baltic Sea we go and that too should be quite heavenly.

NOTE: I’ve scheduled a few posts for next week as I’m not sure how reliable Wifi is at Oma’s place but don’t fret you can follow our antics on Instagram and read about it here on the blog on my return. Tschuess… as they say in northern Germany.
