THE PLACE ----
A small farm, right alongside the township of Mullumbimby (near Byron Bay). Large organic gardens & orchards deliver fresh food to the table almost every meal.
THE LOCALS ---
Matthew, Joan & 2 kids. Plus a few chooks, ducks and guinea fowl.
The kids are high school aged girls.
THE GARDENS
- 360 Fruit Trees (last count) of more than 100 varieties
- Primarily SubTropical Fruit Trees PLUS
- Gingers
- Garlics
- Vegie Gardens
- etc
100% Organic practises
THE DEAL ----
Typically we would expect about 4 hours help per day in exchange for bed, board & food. Would expect you to share cooking / cleaning etc equally with the host family.
Prefer people wanting to stay at least a week or two. This gives us time to get to know you, and also for you to complete at least one more substantial lasting project.
THE FACILITIES
- Riverside frontage property, with canoe and kayaks (and fishing gear if you want it)
- Pushbikes always available, short ride to Mullumbimby township (or canoe across river)
- 15 minute drive to surf beaches, or bus to Byron bay from just up the road..
- Surfboards available
A FOOD NOTE
We take special delight in sharing our abundance with people who really take the opportunity to gorge themselves on whatever produce is in season. If you come here - please know you cannot eat too much of the fruit that sits on the kitchen sideboard (or straight from the trees).

Easy living close to all conveniences with feel of being miles away from it all. Can pick up from Byron or Gold Coast airport. Drop us a message if your keen
