About the host
Hosted by Rebecca
In the process of learning how to live a more sustainable lifestyle, treading more gently on the environment we discovered peace and paradise in what is sometimes called dry and crunchy land. Abundant bird life, wild flowers and native fauna mix happily with our livestock. We love sharing this paradise with our guests allowing them a chance to rest and relax
