Our Story
In 2017, Tom and Lisa moved back to live on Tom’s parent’s property ‘Kangarutha’, after many years living and working around Australia.
We love being outdoors and active, and we love getting away from it all…unplugging and recharging, in the remote and wild places.
After working in desk-based fields, Tom and Lisa wanted to do something more grounded and creative. We started to develop the property as an eco-tourism venture. We formed discrete campsites across the property and upgraded existing amenities. With Tom’s parents, Tom started to grow and sell native plants on the property, just like the old days. We slowly went about re-furbishing and re-purposing the existing buildings and landscaping of the business site on the property, transforming the site into ‘The Nursery’ venue space.
We love living here at Kangarutha, so close to the coast, but nestled within a private farm and bush setting. We want Kangarutha to be a place where people come to, to immerse themselves in the natural environment, to relax and renew themselves. We want to continue the legacy of Tom’s parents – of looking after the land and the landscape, and of welcoming people to this special place.
