OTTELIA
Coonawarra, Australia
It was only ever supposed to be temporary. John and Melissa moved to the iconic Coonawarra region 32 years ago intending to, in John’s words, “stay a little while”.
They bought a parcel of land ringed by tall Red Gum Eucalypts, and with natural wetlands dotted with Ottelia Ovalifolia, a native waterlily. All these years later John and Melissa are still there.
