  ==============
  Our location: Yandina, Sunshine Coast QLD 4561, Australia. 1.5hr borth of Brisbane.
  
  Callum and Bronte are a married couple in their thirties.
  
  We are very friendly helpful people who value and respect each other and our guests.
  Callum works in finance and is interested in fitness and health. Bronte is a white water river guide. She is interested in permaculture, gardening, herbal medicine and learning how to be more sustainable and holistic in everyday living.. As open minded people we really enjoy getting to know those that stay with us. We have even made besties with some of our guests and meet up and travel regularly.
  
  We enjoy sharing time together with our guests learning from each others cultures, which is why we enjoy sharing our local knowlege of the area and fun places to check out while you are here.
  We are also quite used to having our own time and there will be plenty of time to relax just by yourselves.
  
  *IMPORTANT* while you stay with us we vacate our lower level residence (where you will be) and move upstairs where Bronte's Parents live.
  They are elderly and it can be quite loud with footsteps and moving chairs. So if you are a light or easily annoyed sleeper perhaps consider another place.
