  THE PLACE ----
  A small farm, right alongside the township of Mullumbimby (near Byron Bay). Large organic gardens & orchards deliver fresh food to the table almost every meal.
  
  
  THE LOCALS ---
  Matthew, Joan & 2 kids. Plus a few chooks, ducks and guinea fowl.
  The kids are high school aged girls.
  
  
  
  THE GARDENS
  - 360 Fruit Trees (last count) of more than 100 varieties
  - Primarily SubTropical Fruit Trees PLUS
  - Gingers
  - Garlics
  - Vegie Gardens
  - etc
  
  100% Organic practises
  
  
  THE DEAL ----
  
  Typically we would expect about 4 hours help per day in exchange for bed, board & food. Would expect you to share cooking / cleaning etc equally with the host family.
  
  
  Prefer people wanting to stay at least a week or two. This gives us time to get to know you, and also for you to complete at least one more substantial lasting project.
  
  
  
  THE FACILITIES
  - Riverside frontage property, with canoe and kayaks (and fishing gear if you want it)
  
  - Pushbikes always available, short ride to Mullumbimby township (or canoe across river)
  
  - 15 minute drive to surf beaches, or bus to Byron bay from just up the road..
  
  - Surfboards available
  
  
  
  A FOOD NOTE
  We take special delight in sharing our abundance with people who really take the opportunity to gorge themselves on whatever produce is in season. If you come here - please know you cannot eat too much of the fruit that sits on the kitchen sideboard (or straight from the trees).
  
  -----
  Easy living close to all conveniences with feel of being miles away from it all. Can pick up from Byron or Gold Coast airport. Drop us a message if your keen
