The end of winter (and our wedding anniversary) saw us heading once again to the Southern Highlands. I revisited Chinoiserie, the property with the beautiful peony gardens that I saw the previous spring. This time, we came to stay.

We stayed in the separate guest wing, and it was a lovely, cosy place to be.

Lots of whimsical touches inside, like this stained glass window.

Dominic, the co-owner and ‘head gardener’ loves his peonies, so there had to be some indoors too.
