TripAdvisor Traveller Rating
“Our stay at Fringe of Heaven was an absolute joy.”
Rating: 5 out of 5. by Massachusetts on May 8, 2010
From the moment we arrived at Fringe of Heaven, my family of four felt relaxed, welcomed, and delighted. Bev and Julian are extraordinary people -- warm, interesting, utterly easy to be with. The house is, simply, the most beautiful piece of residential architecture I've ever seen. Although an architectural gem, it feels in no way like a showpiece but, rather, like a home, a home that is a privilege and a joy to visit. Huge expanses of glass place you right in the rainforest, and the stunning beauty of the surroundings can be appreciated from every room. Inside, the house is filled with books, music, gorgeous textiles, and artistic touches of all sorts, many of them designed by Bev and/or built by Julian.
