  What else ...

  This is our first foray into "Workaway/Woofing" - so bear with us. Byron Bay / Lennox Beach / Ballina Airport is about 2 hours away. Kyogle being the nearest town (Cafes/Supermarket/Library/Hardware/Pub) about 25 mins away. The area is culturally significant and has lots of hiking/bush walking opportunities.

  A little more information

  • 

    Internet access

  • 

    Limited internet access

  • 

    We have pets

  • 

    We are smokers

  • 

    Can host families

• 

  Can host digital nomads

  We have Starlink, with a latency/ping of about 40ms. Due to the fact we are surrounded by trees, we do have (maybe) 10 sec dropouts every 10 minutes. Best suited to Singles/Couples No Dogs/Cats permitted on our Community Smoke free environment

• 

  Space for parking camper vans

  Really only able to accept "VW Combi sized" vans. Note - you have to cross 3 fords (creek crossings) to get to our property - 2 wheel drive is ok - if we have not had a storm - then 4wd would be needed - we can get "land locked" by our creek about 3-6 days per year.
