We choose to live close to the land, watching the skies, learning the quiet language of the seasons. There’s no rush here, just good, honest days filled with soil under our nails, sun on our backs, and peace in our hearts. At The Family Tree, the days start with the rooster’s crow and wind down with the setting sun. We move with the seasons & let nature set the pace. We rise with the birds, plant with the moon, and take time to notice the quiet beauty that surrounds us. Life’s simpler when you live close to the land. We grow what we can, make what we need, and take time to notice the small things, the whisper of the wind, the hum of bees, the warmth & comfort of shared laughter, good company & deep conversations by the fire. This is a place for people who’d rather count stars than likes, who trade noise for stillness, and who know that real wealth is found in full pantries, warm hands, and a well-worn path to the garden gate. Whether it's tending the garden, gathering eggs, or sharing a meal made from scratch, each moment holds meaning when we choose to be present.We’re not chasing more — we’re choosing enough. Enough peace. Enough purpose. Enough connection to one another and to the land. If your heart longs for stillness, for something real and grounded — you’ll feel right at home here in this little corner of paradise.

As part of your stay, we invite you to experience our handcrafted firebath — a peaceful, grounding ritual designed to relax the body and calm the mind. This is a slow-living ritual — elemental, intentional, and deeply restorative. Built with cobb (a natural mix of clay, sand, and straw) and eco bricks, this lovingly crafted bath is a reflection of our values: using what we have, working with our hands, treading lightly on the land and enjoying beautiful in its raw form The bath has been shaped organically. It started as a simple cast iron bath out in the bush and has slowly evolved into a secluded & private sanctuary. Heated slowly by a wood fire beneath the tub, the firebath encourages patience, presence, and participation — part of the magic lies in tending the flames yourself or with a loved one. It’s a quiet ritual of warmth, water, and wonder. No switches, no screens — just fire, earth, and you. Surrounded by nature & under the stars, this bathing experience offers a full immersion in the elements. Available as an add-on to your retreat stay Please let us know in advance if you'd like us to prepare the bath for you.
