I am offering my house & studio for artists to use while I'm away in Hobart living with my elderly mum.
It's in a little village in northern lutruwita/Tasmania called Chudleigh, in the Meander Valley on pallittorre country, 15kms from Deloraine.

This would suit visual artists, writers, dancers, musicians (acoustic/not loud), etc.

I WILL PROVIDE:
- accomodation in the house
- large studio space

YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:
- bedding
- food

I would rather no pets as I love the bandicoots in the garden (but maybe a cat in the winter could be good to keep the mice out of the kitchen!)

<<< NOTE: If you are interested in coming in June,, you may like to know that there will be some mice in the kitchen! not in plague proportions, but they will get into any food that is out, so you need to clean up every night.. and you will hear nightly scurrying about. Some years I set mousetraps and sometimes I just ignore them. >>>

There is no payment necessary, but I ask that you care lovingly for my garden. This includes watering garden beds, some light weeding and/or mowing the lawn if required. (no heavy work is required)

There's a double bed and a single bed in the house. More beds can be arranged if a group/family is coming.  

This is not a place for partying but somewhere to focus on your artwork away from home. There is no wi-fi.

Travelling by car is recommended as the bus service is very limited. It's a 45 minute drive from Devonport where the Spirit of Tasmania arrives.

It's a short drive to many beautiful nature spots and bushwalks.
