Help
We enjoy sharing skills and knowledge with our helpers and we have a wide range of jobs and projects that vary through the year. At the moment, we are looking for like-minded, fit and enthusiastic helpers to build a composting toilet/shower.
A fair bit of gardening (weeding, pruning & training, preparing garden beds, planting, watering, etc.) and picking will be required too. Your help will be needed in the early morning before it gets too hot, or eventually in the late afternoon.
Note: we cannot sign off on 2nd year visas.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
We are a bilingual family and value very much cultural diversity.
Accommodation
You will have to be self-contained in your own vehicle, swag or tent as there is no accomodation on the farm.
You will have access to power, limited rain water and drinking water, outdoor kitchen + some organic garden produce in exchange of 2 hours of your time for each night spent per adult. Weekends off. Minimum stay is 1 week, 2 weeks or more for the right volunteers.
What else ...
We are located on Osmington, only 10 minutes drive from Margaret River and nearby beautiful spots such as Cane Break, Gracetown bay or Cowaramup. You will have plenty of free time to explore and enjoy the surroundings of the Margaret River region or even find a job? Plenty of activities are waiting for you like fishing, surfing, food, wine and beer tastings, kayaking, walking or biking on nature trails, cultural driving escapes, whale watching, swimming and snorkelling...
One final note: we enjoy hosting reliable and motivated people. Unfortunately, we've had several Workawayers say they're coming but then not arrive. Please, be aware that if we arrange for you to come, our family will have made plans for your stay. So if you don't come, everyone misses an opportunity! Thanks for your comprehension.
