Community
Many art works, cookbooks, food, gifts, and toiletries in the house are made by people we know and love. This is what make this place feel like home! Welcome home, and let me introduce you to this artistic, diverse and nature loving community.

"This is life lived simply and joyfully - the story of building a dream home and a fresh start with enjoyable detours on the way into making or doing things for yourself: art and craft projects, collecting seafood, making a vegetable garden and growing your own veggies, planting an orchard, smoking a fish, making sausages and an abundance of other projects, large and small." ---- Coastal

Caitlin Moloney

Ceramic artist; Originally from Australia but happily nestled in Coromandel for more than a decade. The toughest question an artist has to answer is probably "who am I?!" As a friend, I'm so happy to see that this question is getting clearer and happier over the years for Caitlin. She is ready to shine!
Visit her website for more artworks and her beautiful collections of ceramic earrings!
