Artisans on the Hill - North Coast

Mondrook

We took our UK relatives and their partners (and our two dogs) to Peter and Christine's 'Artisans on the Hill' over the New Year.  What a fantastic place. It accommodated all ten of us (& dogs) so well in the open plan living space while also providing places to retreat when that suited. This very successful combination allowed for everyone to find the space just for them.

Peter and Christine were outstanding hosts who had an uncanny knack for giving us space, and engaging with us in a whole range of ways.  I think they were just the kind of artisans we'd all like to know!  And by the end we really felt we did know them.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the gallery and bought some pieces.  Youngest son did the kite-making workshop and loved it.  I really enjoyed seeing the workshop in action and have the turned wooden spinning top to prove it.   

Now catering for ten is not an everyday challenge, but this kitchen rarely had too many cooks. A special treat for me was to walk out of the house and past the veranda to the raised-bed vege and herb patch and pick from lettuces, tomatoes, chives, basil, thyme, oregano to make the freshest of salads etc. C'est magnifique!

And the view of the valley was perpetually engaging with its rolling hills and breath-taking skyline.  Our dogs were intrigued by the neighbours' 'very big dogs' (cows) and never quite seemed to get their silent stare back.

Parking was a breeze, and the entrance led to three of the bedrooms via the hall and a fourth door to the main living area and on to the other two bedrooms.  The hall hosted an extensive alphabetically-ordered DVD library and a library of books -  each holding several things that would appeal to each guest.

I'd say that Artisans was all that we hoped for - and much more.

Artisans, and so much more

Wonderful hosts and spacious and comfortable accommodation. We also participated in the art workshops on offer with something to suit the talents of each member of the family. Thoroughly recommend this to other people seeking a refuge from the bustle of the city or an opportunity to indulge their creativity.

Alan Williams Workshop

We have visited Artisans on the Hill on two occasions so children could take part in workshops.  These small-group or individual sessions introduce children to a range of activities in which they make articles to take home.  Our children have completed sessions on candle making, tie-dyeing and making a Jacob's Ladder.  The children loved the sessions and Peter and Christine were patient teachers.  Prices are reasonable.

Very good school holiday workshops

I recently chose to use the great workshop at Atrisan's to make a special piece of furniture for one of my sons. The workshop that Peter and Christine have created at this place is a very special opportunity for people like me to get active. I had an idea of what I wanted to make, but little of the necessary equipment and experience to have a go. Well Peter in his quiet and very supportive way encouraged me to get into the project. He has a workshop with all the right gear; well set up and ready to go. It was a difficult job, but Peter's advice and help ensured I got what I wanted. We now have a bespoke family heirloom in my sons home!
Artisan's is;
 -a great workshop with a lot of expensive gear you don't have to buy!
 -has the benefit of Peter's strong experience and creative problem solving support
 -safe and comfortable (again; the right gear including personal safety gear and dust  extraction gear on all equipment)
 -is a beautiful place to hang out and get "lost" in a project
I am very happy to recommend anyone to develop an idea for a project and talk to Artisan's about getting it done.
