Description
Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read our profile. As we live semi rurally, it is important you have a car or van as there is no public transport where we live.
We are a family of 5 living in the sweet little rural village of Federal in the Byron Bay hinterland. We love connecting with people from around the world and sharing our little piece of paradise. Our home is close to the beautiful beaches of Byron Bay and surrounds, close to fantastic national parks and waterfalls, markets and so much more.
We are a family with three children living in in the Hinterland of Byron Bay. My name is Elisa and I am an English teacher and my husband is Mahdi and he is from Morocco, he speaks Arabic, French and English. Our children are two boys aged 14 and 12 and a little girl who is 7 years old. My dad, Bob lives in a studio next-door to us. We live on a 1 acre block in the sweet little village of Federal which is 20 mins drive from Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and not far from beautiful national parks and swimming holes such as Minyon Falls. There are so many beautiful spots to discover in this area including whale watching from the light house in Byron Bay, bush walking in Goonengerry National Park, the Crystal castle and the unlimited beaches surrounding the region.
We would love some help with the garden and general household maintenance.
