Description
Our family is Mum and Dad, two daughters aged 5 and 10 + two dogs and lots of chickens, and 4 Alpacas. Oh, and also an outdoor swimming pool.
Family lives on 30 acre farm near Maleny in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland - about 90 minutes north of Brisbane. Lots of outdoor work as we maintain the property and slowly do revegetation to improve wildlife habitat. The area is beautiful and quiet. Accommodation would be a converted barn which sleeps two people (double) or two singles. Accommodation is self contained with bathroom/shower, small kitchen.
We would like to welcome couples only - so two people; boy/boy, girl/girl and of course boy/girl.
See you soon xx
