Description
We have recently moved into our beach house which is only 20 mins from the city centre of Adelaide . We are doing some renovations and maintanence around our property and would love some help. (Painting, gardening, general maintenance etc.). We are also keen to get some help and ideas with an art project. If anybody out there is artistic, handy and keen to give it a go please let us know.
We also have a couple of birds and a large garden which takes up a lot of our time. We live in a beautiful beachside location with lots of walking and bike trails.. Just a 2 minute walk to the beach. Use of bicycles and kayak if interested.
Accomodation and all meals including a delicious morning tea are cooked for you in return for 5 hours of work 5 days per week.
We also enjoy meeting and talking to fellow travellers and learning about other countries. Board games, karaoke and lengthy conversations along with a billy tea demonstration are a regular part of our evenings. We are keen to show you our part of Adelaide and are keen to hear from you.Types of help and learning opportunities
