The animals are fed twice a day and it's a beautiful experience to be able to observe them and interact with them in their natural environment. Marc and Jenny were wonderful hosts and the welcome basket of produce was a nice touch. The food was incredibly tasty and filling. The only downside is that the seven person accommodation has one room that can only be accessed by going through the bathroom. The property is gorgeous and relaxing, with occasional visits from friendly dogs and cats. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return in the future.

Guests have the opportunity to customize their experience, whether they are looking for a romantic getaway, wellness retreat, or a chance to educate their children about farm life and animal care. One of the standout features of Back 2 Earth is its catering, which is all raw vegan cuisine. Even if you are unfamiliar with raw vegan food, you are sure to be pleasantly surprised. Guests can also choose a self-catering option and have the opportunity to harvest their own teas, herbs, and veggies from the farm. Interested guests can learn about farm life and participate in raw food workshops tailored to their interests or dietary needs. Whether you are visiting or supporting through donations, the team at Back 2 Earth looks forward to welcoming you and continuing to care for their animal residents.

We enjoyed the tranquility of falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of birds and wildlife, with no traffic noise. Jenny and Marc were wonderful hosts, giving us our own space but also warmly welcoming us with a lovely basket of organic fruits and vegetables. Although breakfast and dinner cost extra, I highly recommend treating yourself to these meals. The raw food they prepare is amazing, and their herbal teas from the garden are delicious! We stayed in the 'rustic loft' accommodation, which was private and cozy. However, the loft bed has limited head room, so if you are claustrophobic or have mobility issues, I suggest staying in one of their other rooms at Back 2 Earth. Despite this, the bed was very comfortable and surrounded by interesting books.

Wow! I also enjoyed seeing all the rescued animals. It's a fantastic place to visit!

I wish I could give you more than 5 stars; your place truly deserves it. The food was absolutely delicious, and I've been inspired in the kitchen using the wonderful cookbook you gave me, Jenny. It’s been great cooking with the beautiful organic fruit and vegetable box we brought home. I’ve even bought a finger lime tree and an aloe vera plant, and I'm eager to start my own vegetable patch. I’m so inspired by everything you two have accomplished. Your hospitality and kindness are truly special. I really enjoyed our conversations and learned so much from both of you, so thank you for that. Your farm feels like a true sanctuary. The way you care for your animals and grow your fruits and vegetables with so much love really shines through. The accommodation is stunning—beautiful, comfortable, and high-quality throughout. We loved the run from Werri Beach to Kiama, even though we didn't complete the whole route since we had the girls with us. I'm really glad they joined us. It’s a gentle run on grass right next to the ocean, with just enough hills to keep it challenging. For any runners who haven’t experienced it, that run alone is a great reason to visit—it's absolutely spectacular and a real treat. I wish I lived closer so I could do it more often. There are so many other things to explore for our next visit. I highly recommend Back2Earth to anyone—families, couples looking for a romantic getaway, nature lovers, runners wanting to enjoy beautiful settings, animal lovers, and anyone who appreciates nourishing food.
