Your welcoming hosts, Tim and Debbie, nature lovers, who have been privileged to have been guardians/owners of the Sanctuary for over 30 years and open for guests since 2006. We have restored the Sanctuary to a natural wilderness, and love life in our bush hideaway, where we have raised our 3 daughters.
