Something about us
Seven Olives Pty LTD was born in 2020 as a humble, homegrown venture—rooted in creativity, faith, and a desire to build something meaningful. What began as a hobby and side business in our garage has grown into a unique combination of two passions: a boutique guesthouse and a custom laser-engraving studio. Under one name and one roof, we now welcome guests into thoughtfully designed rooms and craft high-quality MDF products, from personalized lights to our upcoming innovation, the PodBox.
As a husband-and-wife team, we design and build every product ourselves, with care and excellence—he handles the drawings and technical work, she brings life and color through painting. Together, we aim to create not just beautiful items, but joyful experiences.
Our guesthouse, which began with just a single room, has grown into three beautifully appointed private units on our property. We personally welcome each guest, offering a warm, thoughtful experience while respecting their privacy. Every stay is designed to feel peaceful, comfortable, and uniquely personal—just the way it should be.
The name Seven Olives carries deep meaning for us: it symbolizes new beginnings (like the olive branch in Noah’s story) and completion (with seven being a biblical number of wholeness). At the heart of it all, we do this for Yahweh—because He made it all possible. All thanks and praise to Him.
Whether you're shopping our handcrafted pieces or booking a stay, we welcome you into something more than just a business—it’s our story, our passion, and our purpose.
