We have a single bed in our living room, which would be an option for one person.
There is space on our 2 acre block for camping if you have your own tent or camper van. We are working on creating a camp area with camp kitchen facilities. So we will need to talk about which arrangement suits you.
We eat organic whole foods and cook our meals on the fire. We're not vegetarian though we can accommodate for either vegetarian or vegan.

We usually shop once a week in Warwick (1 hours drive away). Boonah is also 1 hour away. If you do not have your own transport, it is possible that we could pick you up from Boonah.
There is no phone coverage or wifi at our house, however wifi is available at the community centre 5 mins walk from our house.
