Our Cellar Door

Our unique cellar "door" was designed by Hilde, based on her absurd idea that living in a Nissan Hut would be fun, if only you could hang pictures on those curved walls! The distinctive curved roof areas are the results. We approached builders who seemed to put it in the "too different"/ "too hard" basket. Finally, in 2002, we found shed builders, A-Z Steel Constructions in Albany who seemed quite excited by the concept and put it up at a rapid rate once we had out the pad down ourselves, with a little help from our friends. (These friends have been fabulous over the years, what would we do without them?)

The front houses our public areas, the bar, Hilde's Gallery at Duke's, the office and our highly praised loos. The remainder of the main "shed" is our wine storage area, insulated to keep our wines at optimum temperature all year round. The back veranda with its triple curved roof acts a music shell at festival times.
