Description
I'm a long time Workawayer myself and host who would love some help with a few projects including revamping the garden and organising the house. Would love help from creative people who can help me design a lovely garden entertaining area and build an awesome Chicken Coop.
I'm from Glasgow originally and have made Australia home for the past 15 years after after a decade living and working in Hong Kong. The guest rooms are a comfortable double and queen and we have high-speed wifi and Foxtel or if technology isn't your thing, hang out on the back deck or beside the pool. You also have the option to walk to the beautiful beach just 980metres from the house or take a stroll around the local nature reserve for birds. Bunbury is a bit of a hidden gem in the South West and is very close to Margaret River and Ferguson Valley Wine regions. It has a budding small bar vibe and an amazing coastline with dolphins to be seen almost daily. It has all the basics from a city without any of the mad traffic or hoards of people.Types of help and learning opportunities

Bunbury is a small multicultural city ( big town really) with everything you need and endless beaches to roam along. There are markets and artistic happenings as well as a thriving small bar and live music scene. It is located two hours south of Perth and is serviced by a daily train service from Perth city centre and numerous buses.
Help
I'd like help getting the garden organised, in particular the entertaining area around the swimming pool and to create a new vegetable garden. I have had chickens before and built them an amazing Cluckingham Palace from recycled materials and want to do the same in this house.

Accommodation
Comfortable double or queen bedroom with Wi-Fi and own bathroom ( unless there are other visitors) - the house is spacious with a large undercover deck area complete with leather sofa, chairs, daybed and a bar!
What else ...
We are super close to the beach and just about 3 kilometres from the city centre. There are numerous shops, bars, live music venues, a theatre and cinema as well as daily bus and train services to Perth and Mandurah.
Super close to the world renowed Margaret River wine region as well as Ferguson Valley. Bunbury and Bussleton both have craft breweries and great restaurants.A little more information
