Hello! We thought incase you have only just found us and missed who we are, (the family hiding behind our little seaside cabin). This is us, and our home. š
We are the Keir Family, living on our coastal farm in Camp Bay, where we farm Sheep and Cattle and host guests in our restored seaside cabin.
Our house sits right by the beach at Camp Bay, which has been so neat for our girls Indie and Heidi to grow up with. Lots of spontaneous beach play dates with friends, and rock pool treasure hunting to keep them busy. Along side the usual farm shenanigans of possum and bunny hunting and raising lambs. It really is a magical place to grow up, it very much reminds me of a Secret Seven Book kind of childhood.
Alex runs our 306h farm. Itās rugged, itās steep, nothing is easy, but itās a sight for sore eyes. It runs along 5kms of rocky cliff coastline, all the way to the Heads of Lyttelton Harbour. These steep hills definitely keep Alex fit and young (or worn and broken š
). Alex is also a qualified builder and when heās not farming he was building The Bearded Poet, and now, getting things sorted to start the next cabin build. He loves a yarn so if you see him on the track to the cabin, wave him down. š
Iām Wendy, and I really do love hosting guests in our cabin, making it a magical place for people to enjoy this little corner of the world. I love design and interiors and telling a story through it. I also get excited about growing vegetables and flowers, Dahlias are my weakness. Iām no expert, Iām pretty much relying on my many failures for learning. I love to bake and I adore my chickens. Iām happiest here at home, on the farm. Wendy Keir
That pretty much sums us up in a nutshell. We canāt wait to share our new cabin with you in due course. š„°
