Program Details
We can offer two accomodation options:
1- You will be self-contained in your own vehicle on a flat camping spot in the bush near our home and access our facilities.
2- You can have your own room with queen bed inside our busy house and share the daily chaos. Let us know in your message which option you prefer.
