Description
I am a retired naturopath, yet still working. love my garden but can't look after it anymore. I am looking for a caretaker who is excited and dedicated to living a self sufficient lifestyle. I am open to short term stay but mainly looking for a long term arrangement. Comfortable self contained cabin available.
I live in an intentional community on the ocean with a beautiful beach and surrounded by national park which is situated on the mid north coast between Bellingen and Coffs Harbour. We are around 200 people living in this community and are trying to be self sufficient. We are having our own water and using only solar power. We are having a weekly cafe and there are lots of activities from sports, dance music to meet people.
People staying with me are usually benefiting health wise as I provide a very healthy and organic diet.
