Macedon Ranges local Chris was searching for a suitable location for his café nine years ago, when he made the fortuitous decision to look into Gisborne, realising quite quickly that Aitken Street ticked all the boxes. Since then, Chris – a Woodend local – and his eclectic café have become an important part of the tight-knit Gisborne community, offering incredible coffee, mouth-watering food and friendly service.

Willow is proud to announce our new partnership with the Gisborne Cricket Club for the 2020 season! The Willow team will be sponsoring the club in an effort to support the local Gisborne community and ensure the Gisborne Dragons have the equipment and facilities they need to continue their strong run of form so far this season.

James Guarnaccia had been searching for suitable property for his first home for over a year, when a colleague told him that Willow was launching in the area. Only a stone’s throw from his parents’ house and the town he grew up in, James was immediately drawn to Willow’s location upon visiting the site, with the picturesque landscape one of the many benefits of purchasing in his hometown of Gisborne.

We have been blown away by the response to the launch of sales at Willow, with 16 purchasers braving the elements overnight before the sales office opened its doors for the very first time, camping out under the stars and getting to know their future neighbours in order to secure one of the very first blocks! The pent-up demand for Willow’s premium land and larger-than-average lots saw over 75 percent of Stage One sold in under 48 hours.

If you’re looking to call Willow home in the near future, chances are you’re familiar with the picturesque Gisborne region and its bustling network of local businesses. Scent Florist is just one of these thriving businesses, located in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, idyllic Gisborne, just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD.
