Melaleuca House

We live on a beautiful 50-acre property - 3kms from Byron Bay - a small tea tree lake and a great variety of wildlife, e.g. wallabies, water fowl, kookaburras, echidnas, tawny frogmouths, water dragons, etc.
In fact, wallabies feed here every day :-)
You will live in a cool Airstream Caravan with shower, toilet, fast WIFI, fridge, microwave, hot water jug, etc.
The closest beach is 2km away and it is only a 10-15 min bike ride to the town center.
We provide a bike during your stay.
We will share with you our knowledge of the property and the adjoining Belongil Wetlands, Byron Bay's history and way of life.
It is a big property to look after, so we greatly appreciate a volunteer visit, usually for1-2 weeks. We are originally from Germany, hence speak English and German.

I live on the property with my wife and our dog - see photo. We have had many helpers over the last 20 years and greatly enjoy getting to know people from different cultures and with their unique life experiences. We hope that it will be a mutually enriching time. While a volunteer makes their own breakfast at the Airstream, we usually have lunch (sandwiches) and dinner together at our house, plus many exciting conversations :-)

Tom and sib were excellent hosts, I was always well fed and accommodated for. They consistently asked me if I needed anything and made sure I was comfy. It’s a beautiful property and a short walk/ bike ride into town to explore and surf, I hope to be back at some point for some more delicious dinners and good company. I highly recommend.

I spent an incredible week on Tom's property.
The work was 4 hours a day, mostly gardening and cleaning/general maintenance.
I had a great stay in the caravan; I wanted for nothing!
Tom is an incredible host, with very interesting discussions and a great cook!! And Ava, the dog, is very endearing.
The place is beautiful, peaceful, and wallabies are guaranteed every morning!

Tom also offers a bike, perfect for a short ride around town/to the beach (4 km).

I had an amazing week; I highly recommend it.
See you soon!!

A Wonderful Farm Stay at Tom & Sibylle’s in Byron Bay

I had an amazing week at Tom and Sibylle’s farm. The work - about 4 hours a day - was fair and included mowing, tidying, and maintaining the property. In return, I had an Airstream to stay in and three fantastic meals a day. Tom and Sibylle are incredible cooks! The farm is peaceful, with wallabies, birds, and even a Tea Tree Lake to explore by canoe. The Airstream is a bit old but fine for a short stay. It’s 4 km by bike to town and surf. A magical place to unwind - highly recommended! Would definitely come back!
