We think we got every thing we wanted, for a good price. However the kitchen could of been a bit bigger. All our prior homes have been pretty small, the current one is 110 mt3 inside so we may well get lost in this one! Great news bilal, I think once they start it should fly up, given the slow in the market.

This helps to keep up with threads you want to read. Another way is the 'view new posts' button top right , under your personal logo. Good to hear things are moving for you bilal ![]() Claypot, how many acres do you have? My hubby and I love B'n'B's, we try to visit one at least twice a year in different areas. I would like to have my own but the opportunity hasn't come up yet. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Building in SA - 2012 350Sep 27, 2012 1:40 pm Hey Tomcat, will be sure to keep updates comming, and plan to start a thread when there's more action. As well as helping other people out with the process; I think having a thread is a good insurance policy to keep your builder in line when prospective customers are reading about how they treat thier existing customers.. Hey Dreamcometrue, We have 10 acres near the beach. We also used to spend a lot of time at B&B's and holiday homes. We found there was a bit of a lack of places suited to couples. So are trying to get it past council at the moment. They seem to be really positive about it, just alot of extra paper work and fee's to get through first.

Haven't tried something more local............. Interesting thought.......... P_D .

We will try to create somthing along those lines. We've got a great spot that you can walk to Silver Sands beach, the Washpool or Aldinga scrub. The Washpool is the last remaining coastal lagoon in Adelaide and the scrub spreads over 265 hec. Great local wineries and resteraunts nearby..... Sorry starting to sound like my council application!

So when do bookings open for yours ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cheers, P_D .

I can highly recommend it, short walk to the pub for dinner, great cottage garden, cosy fire for winter and large spa in a covered stone wall setting. I guess bookings for our place hinges on the council as I can't see any delay in Statesman throwing the house up. We are going to take our time getting the B&B side of it right though.

We are going to have to get a private planner to sort the next stage of the application out = more money.
