Accommodation
Small off grid cabin 8x10 with a covered porch for additional living space. Good for individuals or happy couples.
We also have a guest house, when not occupied can be available to workawayers as well.
Guest will be given the option to eat 3x meals a day onsite, if helping minimum 4-6hrs/day and 4-5 days/week. However we usually only guarantee 1 of those 3 meals to be prepared and shared together because of changing projects and kid schedules ect. Guests will be given the opportunity to eat out of garden and cook in their accommodation when not eating in the main house with us. A variety of dietary food needs can be accommodated, especially if the quest is willing to prepare their own food.
