Description
My wife and I live in the historic town of Maldon in Central Victoria, just one and three quarter hours north of Melbourne.
Our house is right in the main street, a short stroll to cafes and shops. It is small, charming town.
We have a garden that needs a lot of help, including landscaping and planting. We are currently doing internal construction tasks on a new studio, and also need to clear out lots of stuff.
We have plastering and painting to do, as well as landscaping and paving.
We will provide all meals and give you a good experience and show you surrounding areas.
We enjoy hosting people and giving them the opportunity to experience this unique place.
We have really enjoyed the workawayers we have hosted so far and we are friendly and hospitable people, as you will see from our very positive reviews :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are dedicated to the idea of a cultural exchange with Workawayers and giving them a taste of life here.
We want them to experience life in our town and surrounding areas and enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the country. We also travel to Melbourne occasionally and know our way around there.
We enjoy eating well and cooking a range of dishes and enjoying a beer and glass of wine at the end of a good day's work :)
In return we need a strong capable person or people with strength, initiative, flexibility and drive and a focus on getting things done
