Description
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.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
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.Help
We need help with gardening, cooking meals for yourself and with our family, native tree planting and maintenance, weed management and general property maintenance.

Accommodation
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.
What else ...
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.A little more information

We did this as part of a 6 weeks trip to Australia. It’s now been a month since we left the Camp, and in hindsight we can say, that the three weeks we spent here, was the best part of our trip and will be the one that stick in our memory. This says a… read more
