Ms Wolf used to live near Melbourne but decided she wanted to take on a new role as a bed and breakfast connoisseur.
After talking with a friend she made her way to Lawrence where she came across a seven-bedroom villa built in the early 1900s.
‘‘I thought ‘I should just have a look','' she said.
These turned out to be ‘‘famous last words'' as she fell in love with the building immediately.
‘‘It was like it haunted me and I could not stop looking at it.''
She moved to Lawrence with nothing but a dream and her gear in a 40-foot shipping container.
Ms Wolf spent the past nine months renovating the building to be up to standard so she could convert it to a bed and breakfast business.
Some structural improvements were required on the external brickwork.
Aside from that, she said, the majority of the estimated $50,000 worth of renovations was purely cosmetic.
She painted over the original harsh and bright colours, installed heat pumps and fans in the bathrooms and redecorated.
Ms Wolf said she wanted a more welcoming and modern environment.
When she first moved in to the building, she said it had a very masculine, ‘‘hunter's hut'' appearance with dark, brooding colours, which did not match her preferred style.
‘‘I don't want a pig's head on the wall.''
In one corner of the house, she kept some horse-riding accessories as a mark of her experience in the equestrian industry and to keep the English farmhouse allure.
She named the bed and breakfast the ‘‘Lady of Lawrence'' and opened for business last week.
She had already had one customer stay.
Ms Wolf said she had settled in well with the community.
‘‘I wasn't sure what to expect but I was so delighted [with the response].''
She said she had not been given so many casseroles in her life.
‘‘It's just a great community,'' she said.
The historic building, originally named the Sycamores, was built by Archibald McKinlay between 1860 and 1902.
The building was taken over by Mr McKinlay's three daughters after his death in 1910.
It was later used by the Presbyterian Church as a manse in the 1960s.
The building then had two private owners before Ms Wolf took bought it in April last year.
