The idea was born shortly after the lockdown, Andrea and I spent nearly 3 months of solitude on my family’s property in Beaudesert; building vegetable gardens, cooking on open flame and sometimes doing absolutely nothing. Being given an unexpected amount of time to think about our lives and future, we quickly realized going back to a “normal” lifestyle was not going to be achievable, and so began the dream. After a conversation with Mum in August 2020, (one that I started at 19 years old upon realizing that hospitality was the best career in the world and refused to let anyone tell me otherwise), we discussed the possibilities, recognized the potential and Rosmarino began to take shape. ​
