  • Description

    Description

    We are a chilled young family of 6 living on an acre block. The kids are 14, 9, 7 and 2 years old and we have a friendly dog, chickens, ducks, a goat and pony.

    We are into eco-friendly gardening, regenerating the land and some light building, film photography, tramping and biking. We enjoy nature and the simplicity of life. We also love cooking and sharing our love for the region.

    It is best to have your own vehicle as there's no bus service, but not essential (we go into town daily). We can pick you up if needed.
