    Description

    Hello,
    and welcome.
    Come and enjoy our beautiful property situated in the NSW far north coast. We live in a modern house that is completely off grid so we generate all our own power and collect our own water. Because of this we could build where we have spectacular views all the way to the Qld border.
    We have a friendly dog, Stevie, who is a love sponge.
    We are next to a nature reserve and have ample wildlife. Over 40 species of birds have been recorded by the Tweed bird observers group. We love to spoil our guests with great food, cycling kayaking bushwalking and therefore limit the number to just one person or to a couple.
    We ask you to work 4 hours a day minimum, 5 days a week in return for food and board.
    The work would suit people used to living and working outdoors on a farm. There are alway things to do so it would be the job that is the best fit for you. We are also preparing our old barn for accomodation so your ideas and input into creating a great space would be much appreciated.
    We offer our visitors accomodation in this beautiful space in return for help on our property. We have a veggie garden and make our own bread, often in a wood fired oven. I keep bees, both European honey bees and Australian stingless bees. We love our local cycle rides on the nearby rail trail, kayaking, music, good food and sharing our beautiful region with visitors.
