The Painted Fish

BREAKING NEWS – The Painted Fish has been sold! Yes the accommodation side of our business is no more. We will cease trading as of the end of March 2013. While we are not sure where our next adventure will be we hope you will keep in touch and join us in the future – we love running accommodation and hope to do it again.

And if  you have stayed with us before – thank you so much for your custom. Meeting all our wonderful guests has been the best part of The Painted Fish.

And if you need somewhere to stay we can recommend The Little Red Wagon http://www.roamfree.com.au/little-red-wagon-362749 Once you have had a look call Jenny directly on 0414698820 or email her on  gromit@aanet.com.au

For now we will keep this website up and running – we are off on a cycling holiday to Tasmania for April and we  will sort out all the changes we need to make after that – look out for our new business ECOBURBIA!

In the meantime – please enjoy reading about the work we have done, and reading Tim’s blogs.

By now you might have already heard about The Painted Fish – Sustainable Accommodation in a Seaside Garden. But accommodation is in fact only part of the Painted Fish story.

Since we opened in 2006 the public interest in sustainable “carbon neutral” holiday accommodation, running parallel with our own personal journey towards a smaller environmental footprint, has led us to develop a series of opportunities for people to come and learn more about what we are doing here on Hulbert Street – opportunities that include tours, courses and the hugely popular Hulbert Street Sustainability Fiesta.

So if you are looking for a unique, interesting, creative and sustainably focused place to spend some time, spitting distance from the beach, set amongst productive vege gardens and an easy stroll to cafés, restaurants and art galleries, go to  Accommodation.

And if you are interested in finding out more about the sustainable side of what we have done at Painted Fish and our home – Shimtani House on Hulbert Street, or our monthly tours, or about the Living Smart courses that we run, or you want to join in with us . . . . . .  go to Learning about Sustainability.

Come, learn and enjoy!
