LGBTQ host living in a beautiful national park setting in the mountains, very back to nature and simple lifestyle, mine is a place to relax, unwind and destress.
On a typical day...
I won’t be home a lot.

I am a single LGBT person living in a bushland setting in the Grampians,
The room has a single bed and you'll have use of living room, kitchen, laundry and the amazing outdoor space that backs on to the national park.
Wake up to Kangaroos, Emus and wild deer in the backyard, the sounds of the birdlife are the only alarm you'll need.
You'll be staying in an area that does not have access to NBN or other wifi so it helps if you have Telstra data service as other phone plans do not work here, there's a cafe next door with internet access though.
My place is perfect for the solo traveller looking for a stripped back, unplugged back to nature trip away with space to think and wander.
There are plenty of walks close by and the bus passes by here as well.
Off street parking.
No TV but plenty of books!
The location is a great base from which to explore the area, I'm 4k from the main part of town.
Whole bean coffee is yours to use, just let me know if you need milk. There will be bagels and fruit but let me know if you have specific requirements for food.
Please send me a message if you would like to ask me any questions.

Ashley is a lovely host and lives in a very peaceful and picturesque area of Halls Gap i.e. his home is surrounded by trees and roos and emus abound. Additionally, it is very near Lake Bellfield and the start of the Sundial Track.
Host reply
Thanks so much Anna, it was a pleasure to have you here, enjoy the rest of your travels!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
