We own a large scale working wheat, sheep and cattle property. Where guests are invited to observe or participate in helping with farm chores or simply to enjoy the tranquil environment of this pretty secluded pocket of Australia. Every morning children and adults alike can help with the farm round, feeding the ducks, chooks, pigs, pet lambs and milk the goat etc. Revive yourself with a scrumptious morning tea before embarking upon a walking pony or horse ride around the farmyard or an invigorating canter out in the wild, open fields

Area: Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, Granda, Andalucia, Spain

An established retreat centre offering Yoga and Detox courses in one of the most enchanting regions in Andalucia, surrounded by the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada and only half an hour by car to the Mediterranean. Our farmhouse location is a home-from-home for people who love beauty, yoga, tranquility, and above all, a place to find peace, laughter and simplicity. This is an excellent work exchange opportunity for people with an interest in yoga and who would enjoy listening to our guests, without necessarily needing to be the centre of attention. If you are open-hearted, generous, humourous, grounded and stable and are able to receive and give in equal measure, we'd like to hear from you. Self-motivation and genuine self-confidence is very important, as you will be in daily contact with staff and guests. This summer 2010 we now have a few dates of availabilty again. The person's job includes assisting in the kitchen, laying/clearing table, washing up, chatting with guests, keeping the house tidy after the cleaner goes home.
