Owner

English
We're Rebecca & Kieran and we live in Melbourne with our three children. We love travel, nature, art, music, food and sport. We fell in love with the Cape Ecovillage the moment we discovered it several years ago and we hope you love it too! We designed and built the Eco Beach House in 2022-23, with the help of many local artisans. It’s our little slice of heaven where we get away from the city to relax, unwind and spend time immersed in nature.
