Descrição
My name is Machatarn and I'm a mum of two wonderful children of my own. A 26-year-old, who's left home for uni and a 19-year-old who lives at home with me, with an extended family who live locally and surround us in love and laughter. I’m Gram to 2 wonderful little grandchildren, 9 and 5, from one of my two stepdaughters. I'm very blessed.
We'd love someone who is energetic, motivated, fun, and skilled in or capable of spray painting, cladding, gardening, heavy lifting and some other small, simple builder's jobs, who would love to experience life in a stunning part of the world.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

We live in a lovely, quiet cul de sac in a leafy beach side suburb called Ocean Shores, in the Byron Shire, Northern NSW.
Our beautiful, quiet, secluded beach is only 2 kilometres away and is the perfect spot to lay in the sun, swim, surf, fish, take a long relaxing walk, an invigorating run or watch the whales play, when they're moving through on their bi annual migration.
We’d love to welcome you to our home and show you around our beautiful area and introduce you to our way of living here in our gorgeous corner of the world.Ajuda
These are the jobs I need help with that require somebody with a bit of building knowledge.
* I have a small amount of tin sheet cladding that needs to be fixed to the house.
* I have a few, small, inside and outside finishing jobs, including, a small gyprock/drywall, plastering job, installing a
cover over a beam on the ceiling and finishing some architraves on windows and doors. I have all the tools required.
These are the jobs that require little or no skill.
* I have a shipping container that needs to be pressure washed and spray painted.
* I have continuous garden maintenance, planting and weeding.
* I have a few sanding and painting jobs.
Our poor letterbox needs to be sanded and reoiled.
We have an outdoor setting that needs some love too. Sanded and reoiled or painted.
* We're creating a garden/turtle pond with a garden around it and need some assistance moving heavy rocks into place
and planting the garden out around it.
* If you like to cook, we can include that in your hours.
Computer Skilled work
* I'm interested in creating a new website for my pottery business which would require a good knowledge of website
design, creation, implementation and SEO. No amateurs for this please.
I'd be around most of the time but would also need you to work independently sometimes too, as I run a business from home which requires my attention.
I prefer the work to be carried out on week days rather than weekends. This frees up your weekend to enjoy our beautiful area here.
The length of your stay would depend on your skills and how we all fit together. Two to four weeks would be ideal.
Free Wi-Fi, Foxtel, Netflix, Stan and free to air tv are available for your enjoyment.
I would request that you keep the shared areas clean and tidy at all times and that noise be kept to a minimum.
This is not a party house, but shared social times together would be welcome.Idiomas

Acomodação
I would be open to up to 2 people staying and can be flexible with arrangements and times if you're a couple.
I would provide a clean, comfortable, private room for you with a queen bed, space for clothes, and a fan for summer.
We have a cozy wood fire for those chilly nights, which keeps us toasty and warm.
There are several spaces for your enjoyment and privacy, like our beautiful front courtyard, surrounded by trees and lush gardens. It's a beautiful space to chill and eat meals if you desire.
From Monday to Friday, I will provide and cook dinner for you and provide you with your basic foods for breakfast and lunch during your stay, which you can prepare at a time that suits you. Alcohol and speciality foods not included.
On Saturday and Sunday, you would be responsible for your own food and meals.
If you’d like to cook, then please don’t let me stop you. We’re always open to tasting different foods from around the world and learning new recipes. We can exchange favourites and share meals if you would like to!
We have a beautiful, spacious, new kitchen that's a joy to cook in.
If you choose to cook, these hours would be included in your work hours for the week.Algo mais...
Free time may be spent exploring the many stunningly gorgeous beaches and waterfalls, or maybe some snorkeling, scuba diving, seasonal whale watching, surfing or surf lessons, kayaking, bike riding and the many tourist attractions and activities that this area has to offer. You’re spoiled for choice here. You may not want to leave.
World famous, Byron’s popular culture, shopping, restaurants, beaches, light house and night life are really something to experience. Music is alive here in Byron, Brunswick Heads and surrounding areas, so there's lots of live music and night clubs to check out too. We're spoilt for choice.
There are weekend markets and local organic and growers markets every week that are a must to experience.
Live music by our many local musicians are always there to enjoy.
The local shopping centre, restaurants, cafes and tavern are in walking distance from here.
We’re 5 minutes to Brunswick Heads, 20 minutes to Byron Bay and 15 minute's drive to Mullumbimby and 1 hours’ drive to the Gold Coast.
Public transport is available to most anywhere from here, right from the end of our street, but limited on weekends.
I also have a pottery studio which you are welcome to use. I would be happy to teach you if you desire.
A two-week trial period would be in place to see how our arrangement suits everybody.
I would love to see references and photos of your previous work and experiences, if available.
We’d love to welcome you into our family and exchange cultures, stories and experiences with you.
We can only accept helpers who have their own medical and travel insurance.
If you think this is something you would like to explore, then please get in contact.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.Mais alguns detalhes

I am beyond happy with the outcome and enjoy showing others the marvelous artwork that now adorns my back yard. Even our resident kookaburra has fallen in love with the kookaburra in the mural.
