About the host
Hosted by Pete Cusack - Jimna Base Camp
We bought this little bit of paradise from the previous owners who converted the old Jimna State School into a campground, holiday house and event's venue. We'd now like to offer the most comfortable and relaxing experience for individuals and families who'd like a holiday up in the mountains, out in the bush!
Why they chose this property
We like to think we add that little bit extra - so you feel very special. We love meeting people from many different backgrounds or cultures - and showing them a little of ours. Your stay is private and uninterrupted :)
