    Description

    Hi my name is Emma, I am a group exercise trainer and lover of all things outdoors, hiking, Mt biking, snow boarding, surfing, growing food, yoga and meditation. I have a 20 acre property on the beautiful North West Bay River which I am in the planning stages of developing into a nature based retreat centre. Currently I'm working on landscaping, Setting up a Bell Tent Accommodation, developing the food garden and the building / renovation design. I live here with my 3 daughters (50% of the time) and my partner Chris who also has an 85 acre property on the Tasman Peninsula where we visit often to surf and work on establishing a small fruits farm. My property, River Front Haven is located 20 mins south of Hobart. We have 15 chickens and a large vegetable garden. The house overlooks the river and native bush, there are rock climbing cliffs along the river a 10 min walk from the house. Anyone with experience in business planning, graphic design, and website building would also be helpful.
