It all Began in 1948
Sowing the seeds of love
This idyllic venue is the result of a captivating love story between Bill and Devora Peake, whose romance blossomed after the war, together with their passion for farming, conservation and Constable Country
Their loving partnership nurtured the surrounding fruit farms and developed the golf courses and, years later, generations of the family continue their legacy, transforming it into the multi-award-winning, eco-friendly resort that it is today.
