  Description

  We are a family who have recently moved to a beautiful off-grid property in northern NSW. It is a place of immense beauty and serenity, surrounded by pristine sub-tropical rainforest, home to a range of unique Australian flora and fauna. We have amazing 180 degree views from the ocean to the border ranges, including Springbrook, Mount Cougal and Wollumbin (Mount Warning).

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The property is surrounded by beautiful sub-tropical virgin rainforest that is home to many rare and endemic plant and animal species. Guests here have an opportunity to explore this untouched forest and learn about native edible plants, the different animals that inhabit it, the ancient volcano crater which the mountains form around and some of the Dreamtime stories associated with this place. In the area, there are sacred Aboriginal sites, art galleries, cinema, shops and restaurants. Nearby, there is the famous Surfers Paradise where the surf is always up.
  
  I have been an English teacher for 30 years so will delight in having guests practice their English with me. We have always traveled extensively, so really enjoy exchanging stories and experiences about other countries and comparing them to Australia. We have three sons in their early twenties who spend time on and off the property, who will love the opportunity to talk and spend time with our guests.

  Hébergement

  Autres infos...

  Guests will have an opportunity to explore the bushwalks, waterfalls, mountains and creeks plus the iconic natural landmarks in the area. There are also regular farmers markets, local pubs and live bands, Murwillumbah town (shops, cafes, cinema etc) and close proximity to the Queensland border (national parks, Gold Coast etc). You will need your own car (4WD not necessary) as there is no regular bus service and it is an unsealed road to the property.
  
  We live quietly, peacefully, consciously and respectfully, with minimal noise, conflict or drama. We are looking for like minded people whose values will align with ours. As this is an environmentally sensitive area, we are seeking people with no pets.
