Descrição
Close to Vancouver, we would love you join us at our 7-acre riverside eco-retreat:). We no longer operate our eco retreat as a business, rather, we just live here.

For June, July, August and September we are, ideally, looking for someone to house and garden sit as we will be vacationing much of that time. It’s best if you have your own vehicle. The grass will need to be mowed and trimmed, the gardens kept watered and nice (pull the odd wee though it’s all mulched).

We live in an awesome natural paradise so close to Vancouver! We are right on the river... we are right beside a Provincial Park, hiking trails around us, and there is a swimming lake close by (summer).

It is a perfect area for anyone who likes photography, being in nature, and likes being in a family-like environment (though we have no children living at home). When we’re at home we live like a family during the day with a small sleeping cabin for volunteers at night.

If you are a foodie and love to cook, it would be most welcome..we eat well here...and we have wifi, tv, mobile phone service with one carrier. We will share our knowledge as much as you wish:

This is our 12th year as a hosts but we’ve been away traveling a lot.

Please let us know if you have any special skills:)..

Getting here is by bus.

We are an hard-working couple, and love to play games hike, and read in our spare time.
Peace. Sue & Henry

Sue and Henry were our first work away hosts, and it was a good experience joining them for our first time. They tought us alot about gardening and the area and Sue is also very well versed with nutritional information which we liked. Sue and her husband are really kind people, it was fun to play board game together!
you'll be fed very well here… read more

Had a wonderful month volunteering for Sue and Henry at their eco-retreat. They were very friendly and helpful to me during my time in BC. My main duty there was chopping wood and taking care of the property/house. They were great with explaining what they required from me. I enjoyed staying on their property, watching the river, and having… read more

A big thank you to Mark for helping us out for a couple of weeks. He moved rocks from garden beds, dug up plants and moved them, and did some prep work for painting...he's an accomplished guitarist/musician and we enjoyed listening to him play.

Sue and Henry were great hosts to have for my stay in British Columbia. They were easy to talk to and great people to talk about Canadian culture and history and they never pushed you too hard with the work. Located in a beautiful spot near a regional park and close to town, this was a great couple weeks to spend in BC.

When a business is running with work of volunteers during so many years ago, it's normal that sometimes the hosts forget to create a good feedback with the new volunteer. Sometimes hosts can take things for granted, which causes you as a full-time worker.
However, I could talk with her and decide to leave before whole stay.
It's good when both… read more
