We usually host three people at a time and prefer people who can stay a minimum of three months- longer stays are by arrangement – Some people have stayed as long as two years and others stay for many months, then leave for travel and return for more months. We work to manage the property and take time to enjoy the beautiful Tasmanian nature.
Usually – once most of the crops are in the ground – we work in the morning and in the late afternoon/ early evening. Meaning we can spend up to four hours in the middle of the day – doing what we like such as:
• Swimming, surfing, fishing and paddle boarding in the clean clear waters of: Boat Harbour Beach (be sure to google this magical beach) – Sisters Beach – Stanley – Marawah (excellent surfing) – Detention River – Rocky Cape – Lake Llewellyn….etc……
• Hiking, walking, and cycling
• Reading, cooking, crafting, studying, yoga and visiting friends
When what we harvest is more than we can eat we preserve and preserve and preserve some more.
