Why I became a WWOOF Host
I am creating a home based business for short term holiday accomodation and thermal baths. Set in a beautiful space in the rainforest for nature enthusiasts, adventurers, and dog lovers. Creating thermal baths for healing and relaxation amongst a natural setting. While it is on 26 acres there is a 1-2 acre area with walking tracks along creek beds with natural rockpools. The thermal baths (external fires heat and distribute 38 degree water to the baths) set in serene rainforest. Short term accommodation is available to guests in house. On the property there is many varieties of fruit trees, and developing a fully sustainable vegie garden. Aim is to be fully organic and gain organic certification.
