We are now looking to host someone in exchange for some help around the house and property including spring cleaning and gardening.
Over Labour Weekend we would like you to house sit for us and look after our animals that include 2 cats, chooks, ducks and a couple of super friendly sheep.
We live very close to stunning surf beaches, parks and in particular, enjoy nature and the great outdoors.
