Description
We are an older couple who live on the beautiful Central Coast region of N.S.W. with our pet dog Sasha , Esmerelda the duck and some chickens. Our young grandchildren often visit, so there is a family vibe to our house and we like people to feel like part of the family. I am a true local and was born in the area and my husband, Ken has lived here for many years. Because of this we have excellent local knowledge which we love to share with anyone staying. The Central Coast area is known for its beautiful coastline and beaches and also walking trails, valleys and animal parks etc. Ken and I love to introduce guests to the many lovely sights in this area. We both follow the local soccer team, The Mariners and Ken is a keen fisherman. We have a caravan and travel regularly, so we have great information on different areas of interest around the country and helpful hints that could be very useful for travellers. We often have guests stay from different countries, so we are very comfortable with different cultures and love to exchange information and help out with language skills.

Outside we often need help in the garden, trimming, weeding, whipper snipping, mowing, weeding etc. There is sometimes handyman projects, involving the animals areas or the general yard areas. This could include a little clearing or paving or general tidying up around the place. There could also be a little painting, or general repairs. Also a little help in the house with some cleaning, washing windows etc. I am happy to give you some great information on must see things in this area.

We would love you to give us 4- 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, then the rest of the time is yours. You will also have access to wifi.
What else ...

There is plenty of room to park in the street in front of our house. We are fairly laid back and love people to feel at home in our house. The only thing we ask is that you respect any other guests that may be staying
