Description
We are three people working towards a self-sufficient organic lifestyle and native habitat regeneration on a beautiful bush property 35 minutes from Hobart. One of us is a freelancer in the social services; one is a retired meteorologist; and one is a retired organic farmer. We are all politically engaged and well-traveled, and two of us enjoy practicing our French and Spanish.
IMPORTANT: BECAUSE WE ARE 7.5 KM FROM THE NEAREST BUS STOP, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT.

Accommodation
We offer a lovely self-contained cottage with a full range of cooking appliances, bath and shower, and (very clean) semi-detached composting toilet, as well as vegetables sourced from our garden and eggs from our chickens. The cottage has a bedroom with a double bed, as well as a fold-out bed in the lounge room.

What else ...
You will find native wildlife and starry nights, and walkers can get to a spectacular waterfall in the neighboring nature reserve. We are a convenient base for catching the ferry to Bruny Island, as well as to lovely swimming beaches.
