Honeycomb Valley Farmstay wins 2010 North Coast Tourism Awards for Excellence - for Hosted Accommodation

Submitted on Monday, August 16, 2010 - 02:11

Just back from the 2010 Countrylink North Coast Tourism Awards (which covers the tourism industry from Port Stephens in the South to Tweed Heads in the North of NSW). It was held up at Coffs Harbour with Tim Bailey Ch 10's weatherman doing the MC honours (he was great by the way!).

It was a bit of a crazy day Saturday because we had the Gloucester Farmer's Market on that morning so had to head out at 5.30am to set up there...bringing along our baby Saanen goat "Toggles" for the ride because he needed his bottle during the day.

Helpx vs Wwoof

I often wonder what the Greyhound Bus driver thinks when he drops off all manner of foreign travellers at Nabiac...seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Nabiac isn't the Byron Bay of backpacker routes, but in the last few days we've hosted the United Nations at the farm in the form of Helpx travellers who swap a good day's work for food, accommodation and experiences as they travel around Australia.

We've just had a lovely few days here at Honeycomb Valley with three UK backpackers who are part of the HelpX network.

HelpX'ers exchange labour in return for food and lodging at the farmstay.
