As you drive through the farmland west of Nowra on the NSW South Coast along winding dirt roads, down towards the banks of the Shoalhaven River, it's not difficult to see how renowned Australian artist Arthur Boyd was inspired by this landscape.

As with any well-executed heritage restoration the refurbishments are largely invisible to the layperson, but having taken just over 12 months they are extensive.
