    Brett and I had shut down with Covid regulations as did the rest of the world, but are now ready to open the doors once again. We can now offer a flat space away from our house for RV vans to park, so you can choose how much time you would like to spend with us or to be on your own.
    The most unique thing about this location is that we live in a beautiful rain-forest valley, abundant with wildlife, which includes rare and endangered species. We also have many walking trails either along the creek to the waterfalls (seasonal) or up onto mountain ridges which offer amazing views.

    If you like bush walking without the crowds then this is for you.

    My husband Brett and I (Johanna) live in the Sub Tropical Northern Rivers area of NSW, one and a half hours west of Byron Bay, and an hour west of Nimbin. We can pick up from Nimbin or Lismore. The small town of Kyogle is our local shopping town. Kyogle is surrounded by one of the largest areas of World Heritage Rainforest.

    We have an organic vegetable garden and chickens (for eggs) which supplies most of our food. The garden requires continual upkeep but most effort is needed late winter and early spring. While I follow a mostly Paleo/ Keto diet all diets can be catered for. We have a good solar system so the house can function in a fairly normal way.

    Our unique property is called a Multiple Occupancy, or Intentional Community. We maintain about 10 acres within a 1000 acre property (mostly wilderness) which we share with a small group of neighbours of various age groups. We cannot see any neighbours, though may hear them in the distance from time to time. We also try to meet regularly with neighbours, so there is an opportunity to meet a diverse range of people here and to extend your stay with others if you desire.
