Hello 😊
We are Mel & Peter.
Join us at our farm on the mid north coast of NSW near Port Macquarie where we look after 2 beautiful properties.
We offer a comfortable bedroom in the main house, sometimes we enjoy breakfast at the beach, there are lots of kangaroos and native Australian birds to see while helping us around the house and on our cattle farm.
We live 15 minutes drive from the beach and at times we stay 30 minutes up the valley on the other property in the countryside.
We prefer a 2 week minimum stay.

We love to share our country NSW lifestyle:

Learn basic farm duties
Experience native wildlife including kangaroos, kookaburras, Rosellas and cockatoos, green tree frogs.
We enjoy sitting around the dinner table to share our meals and talk about what is going on here in Australia as well as discussing many things from around the world. We believe we can all learn from each other.
We provide food and accommodation in exchange for help.
Our past helpers have also had time for a surf lesson at the local beach, visit the koala hospital, and enjoy the coastal walks.
