79 acres hosted by Theresa D.
3 RV/tent sites
Nala Pakana is a 79-acre vegetarian/vegan property nestled in native Australian bush roughly one hour's drive from Hobart Tasmania.
A wildlife refuge where love and care for the natural environment are of high priority.
Verona Sands beach is located at the end of the road, the ferry to Bruny Island half an hour away, and there are ample opportunities to see black cockatoos, wallabies, paddymelons, echidnas, faery wrens and wedge-tailed eagles and so many more, a twitcher's paradise.
The small wooden home is off the grid, built by hand over forty years ago with timber from the property and no power tools. There is an extensive permaculture garden enclosed by a corrugated iron fence built from recycled materials.
The resident companion animals are three dogs, a cat, four bunnies, three roosters, six chickens, and two goats. Nick and Theresa have one eight year-old daughter who follows a natural learning approach to education, so no school.
We spend our time gardening, building from recycled materials, and cooking. Nick is a fantastic bush builder and can mend, and renovate anything out of scraps. Theresa is a very experienced Ayurvedic vegan cook and gardener.
Nick spent many years as a school teacher and canvas maker Theresa taught meditation, mindful living, and cooking.
Both Nick and Theresa share a great love for the natural world, natural living, and a life informed by intuition.
Theresa, Nick, and their daughter are all vegans and Nala Pakana is a vegetarian property that welcomes good dogs who don't need fencing and won't kill the wildlife.We live on 79 acres of virgin Aboriginal bushland, backing onto state forest, high on a hill, overlooking Bruny Island and the Southwest wilderness. Beautiful local beaches abound such as Verona Sands.
We are offering campsites for 2wd vehicles and up to 8.5m caravan sites for 4wd vehicles. Our land is strictly vegetarian (ideally vegan), with no amenities, no water, no power, GIGO (take your garbage in garbage out).
Nala Pakana (Aboringal for Earth People) is a beautifully peaceful spot, home to wallabies, paddymelons, echidnas, Wedge Tailed Eagles, and an array of birds such as currawongs, kookaburras, black cockatoos, faery wrens and more. In respect of this and other campers, noise from generators, music and the like is tolerable provided other campers aren't disturbed.
A dog can be brought to the site provided it strictly does not hunt other animals nor makes a lot of noise.
Campfires are welcomed (provided there are no fire bans enforced) if you are willing to collect your own fallen limb wood. There is a plentiful supply of fallen limb wood on the ground for you to gather but trees cannot be felled for fires.
There is a primitive drop toilet at one of the sites. Some sites are near tall trees but if falling limbs are a concern, we also have less treed spots.
We welcome your inquiry.
