    Description

    We are a couple on their 50th. We are both still working full time.
    We live on Scotland Island, an island in Pittwater which is part of the Northern Beaches, Sydney. An amazing paradise spot surrounded by nature. There are 350 other houses.
    The island is water access only. The ferry crosses over from Church Point every hour. This is a very special and unique area of Sydney, which we love! (Scotland Island NSW 2105, check it out!!)

    We have kayaks, stand up paddles and the water at our door step, the National park a quick 5 minute boat ride away.
    🥾⛰️🚵‍♀️
    We offer full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with your own bedroom on the second floor (same as us) and your own bathroom. For cultures reasons, we only take single females. No couples, no single males. Sorry!
    ✨✨✨
    The workaway helps 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. We are very flexible as when you do your hours and which 2 days you take off. We generally offer 1 week stay with the option to extend.
    ☀️🌊🏝️🛶
    We see cooking together and helping around the kitchen during meal times as part of "living" with a family. We are not vegetarians.

    We have a dog and a cat. We hope you like animals! 🙂
    We generally need help with painting, cleaning, gardening and general maintenance.

    Sorry, no smokers
    Let me know!
