A Hong Kong dream home: why it took an Australian couple three years to create the perfect house
Digby and Donna Shepherd took their time when it came to buying and renovating their Sai Kung idyll, and boy, was it worth the wait
Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Just ask Australian Donna Shepherd, who, with husband Digby, took almost two years to buy their Sai Kung house, plus a further 18 months to furnish it. No small amount of effort was required for both.
Having found the unusual property while on a dog walk-cum-house scout, Shepherd remembers thinking, “This is it!” But her husband, a commercial pilot, needed convincing – at that point the house was beyond their price range – which was why, she says, laughing: “I’d deliberately bring him for walks here. Finally, he saw the light.”
