    Description

    We are a couple living in the stunning Ferguson Valley. The property we are on is 33 acres. We have a 3 bed house with 2 bathrooms. On the property our daughter and family also have a house. We have four horses, one pony, a donkey, three dogs, a cat, poultry, sheep and a Guinea pig.

    We are looking for anyone who is good at making fire logs into firewood with a saw!
    A tree arborist would be fantastic!!

    We have hosted many people from all over the world and have loved the experience.
    The local community always welcomes anyone into there lives. At certain times of the year their is some paid employment in the local wine industry or helping locals in their gardens.
    We are happy to provide accommodation, food etc in exchange for 4 hours a day for 4/5 days usually in the garden or on the property depending on the season. We have just completed renovations on a couple of buses so will be starting to do short term rentals so cleaning will be involved.

    We have some house painting to complete and the building of a verandah.

    We are 20 minutes from Bunbury, Donnybrook and Collie. The valley boasts Gnomesville, lovely wineries and eateries. Bunbury has some good shopping, restaurants and a great beach.
    Wellington Dam is close with lovely swimming, camping and an amazing mural.
    If you think you have any skills to offer please get in touch.
