Informationen

Beschreibung
We are Loz, Sam, Amber(16) Jasper(14) and Libby (Sam's mum) - trying to live simply on our beautiful coastal property. We are running a small accommodation business with 4 Luxury Safari Tents, 2 eco cabins and group meeting place. Our property is surrounded by Mimosa Rocks National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW.

We have a large organic garden and a variety of fruit trees. We are also revegetating the property with native trees.

Jobs we need help with are cleaning, gardening, harvesting and cooking, native tree maintenance, weed control and general property maintenance.

Our house is a 20min walk through the forest or canoe/kayak on the lagoon from a beautiful beach.

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
The greatest outcome for visitors to our property is spending time in the beautiful natural environment. We are surrounded by National Park so there is an abundance of native animals all around us. Kangaroos graze happily right next to the house. There is a walking track to the beach from the back door and we have kayaks and canoes to play with on the dam or paddle across the lagoon to the beach.

Our vision for the Safari Tent Accommodation business is to be an inspiring example of sustainable, conservation based tourism. Travellers can learn a lot about this kind of business if they are interested.

Travellers can experience and learn about organic gardening, worm farm systems, native tree care and weed management.

Sam and I are both outdoor educators so if you're interested we can teach you skills for outdoor living and adventuring.
Arbeit
We need help with gardening, cooking family meals for yourself and with our family, native tree planting and maintenance, weed management and general property maintenance.
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Unterkunft
There are two houses on the property as well as a yurt and a bell tent. Travellers usually stay in our lovely bell tent or one of the rooms in Libby's house that used to be a BnB.
Was noch ...
We really enjoy having travellers join us in our lifestyle. We are very adaptable and social. Our helpers/volunteers have a lovely time staying here. We have lots of local friends who come by and we often host wood fired pizza parties because we have such a great venue to enjoy.

We also like to go on adventures as often as possible so it usual that volunteers who stay for a few weeks will come with us on some kind of fun adventure.

We have WIFI internet that is available anytime.

Where do we even begin? This was truly a life changing experience. We arrived a bit nervous as this was our first Workaway but as soon as we met Loz and her family all our nerves were dashed aside.
We learned so many new practical skills as well as made a true connection to country and its people. This place is a magical place surrounded by… read more

One of the highlights of my first year in Australia was to visit this Camp. I went there because I was interested in the sustainability features they had, but the experience went far beyond that.

My stay here will always be the highlight of my trip throughout Australia. I stayed for around a month and no day was a bad one, the work was varied the activities where plentiful and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The only negative of was that I didn’t end up staying longer.

We absolutely loved our stay with Loz, Sam, their family and constant stream of visiting friends.

What an incredible experience I had staying with Loz, Sam, Amber, and Jasper. We had initially planned for me to stay about 2 weeks so Loz was able to go on a bush walk. I ended up staying for 2 months! Being a part of this family and experiencing sustainable living was incredible. They truly scooped me up and made me a part of the family from day… read more one. They always included me- surfing lessons, day trips to coastal towns/beaches, friends’ houses, pizza parties, camping adventures, the kids’ activities, and so much more. They are located in such a beautiful area surrounded by nature with a lot to do right in their backyard.

The work varied and was always reasonable. Watering the garden, feeding the rescues, helping other workaways with setting up the chicken coop, cooking, cleaning, laundry, organizing, fixing, building, playing with the kids, etc. Feeding their kangaroo, Phoenix and helping care for him was such a precious opportunity. His cuddles are unmatched. Accommodation was great. I moved from the bell tent to inside the house to the dairy. I also was privileged to stay in the Luxury Safari Tents a few times.

Loz is a remarkable woman with a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of life. She’s an amazing mother and business woman with great ethics, morals, and values that she instills in her children daily. I was lucky enough to have many meaningful and real conversations with her. Loz is open-minded, accommodating, and patient. Her can-do attitude is admirable. I couldn’t praise this goddess of a human enough. She is making a true and measurable impact in this world and in so many people’s lives. I can’t wait to share more conversations and cold brews in the future. :)

Sam was working most of the time. When we did get to chat, it was great! He is also a wealth of knowledge and has some amazing stories about adventures. Ask about his fight with a kangaroo and Goanna stories (terrifying… haha). He has so much experience in adventure and outdoors.

Amber and Jasper are humble and kind-hearted children. They’re talented and adventurous. We had movie nights, played board games, and shared so many laughs. I was able to watch both of their graduations as well as Amber’s fling performance! They were so easy to get along with and enjoyable to be around.

Staying here was extremely therapeutic and exactly what my soul needed. My life is better after my stay here. Thank you for allowing me to learn so much and have an Australian experience that I’ll treasure forever. I miss you all.

Until next time.

We loved having Hong (and Veronica her 16 year old daughter) stay with us. She was such an inspiration. Full of ideas and vibrance for life. She is a very committed worker so much so we had to insist that she take time off for herself. She is very competent, resourceful, reliable and flexible. We wish she could have stayed for longer.

Vom Workawayer (Nyap Hong) für Host

My daughter, Veronica and I had our first workaway experience with Loz, Amber and Jasper (Sam was away at that time so we didn't get to meet) Many of our friends actually have doubts when we told them about our workaway plan. Can it work out? Is it safe? Will we get in trouble? There were so many questions before we depart, and now that we are… read more back, we have found our answers.

First and foremost, Veronica and I would really like to thank Loz and her family for having us for a 6 days stay. They live in a wonderful area in the national park. When we arrived, it felt like we had reached a fairy-tale world. The place is surrounded by trees and it is very very comfortable. Waking up in the morning, hearing birds chirping, seeing kangaroos jumping around feels very special for us as we are used to the lives in cities. Not to forget that during the night, the sky is filled with stars, when you look up, it is like you are looking at the galaxy.

It was a long journey from Sydney to Bega, it took us 9 hours to reach but it wasn't a boring ride as the bus will stop for break twice during the whole journey. Loz picked us up and headed to a beach in Tathra for dinner before going to her house in Tanja. She showed us around when we arrived at her house, Veronica and I were more than surprise to see her farm with varies types of plants. We even have the chance to feed two baby kangaroos! What an experience!

Feeding the baby kangaroos is part of our daily duty. Other than that, we help to collect eggs, pick cherry tomatoes, harvest zucchinis, egg plants and lemons. Something unexpected happened during our trip which was the bushfire. The fire started 17km away and most of the residents in Tanja were warned to leave. Loz led us together with Amber, Jasper to the nearest town and registered ourselves to notify our safety. We then headed to Loz uncle's house in Cuttagee, we stayed there for a night and then went back to Loz's place the next day as the situation got better.

During the 6 days, Veronica and I met many new people, learned many new things and of course gained many new experiences. For example: coating the canvas camp; cleaning the luxury safari tent after the guests checked out; teaching Amber and Jasper Chinese; feeding baby kangaroos and many many more! It was indeed a very memorable journey for both Veronica and I. Being away from the big city, away from traffic, away from light and noise pollution, Loz's place is a very good location to relax and chill, everything there is simple yet so beautiful and enjoyable.

We are back in Malaysia for a few weeks. Veronica went back to school and I continue my work. We really miss Loz, Amber and Jasper (it's still sad we did not get to see Sam, maybe next time hahaha xD) we miss the everything in Tanja, the weather, the environment, the people and the food (zucchini soup with basil, bruchetta made by Suzy ~) We hope to visit again for a longer time and once again, thank you very much for having us, thank you for all the fun :D

Amber and Jasper, remember to continue learning Chinese! And to Amber, you have a great voice, looking forward to see you shine in the future! (Be the next Taylor Swift! -Veronica) And to Jasper, get more Pokemon cards! Hahahaa
