3 sites · RVs, Tents79 acres · Garden Island Creek, TASNala 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.
