We need help for the next 10 days. We can offer a place for all or part of that time with (minimum of 1 week). If you'd like to stay longer that - we'd love to meet up and get to know you, once we come home we can offer you a bed in a charming vintage caravan at our house.
You'll be staying in our home while we are away, so we are looking for exceptionally responsible and trust worthy volunteers.

We would like to learn Japanese and German and are happy to teach English!
We will be away for (most) of your stay, so you will have the whole place to yourself pretty much. Possibly sharing with other workawayers depending on whether the first person to volunteer is keen to share the house.
We have a 2 bedroom house (or 3 if the third person is a young kid) plus a studio apartment, plus a caravan.
House: One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a single bed
Studio: One queen bed
Caravan: One double bed and either a dinette area or a second double bed. It happily accommodates our family of four while on holidays, and would best suit a couple, a family or friends travelling together.
If you're staying in the caravan you can make yourself coffee, tea and toast in the caravan which has power, water, high speed wi-fi and USB charging ports and you can use the toilet in the office. You'll share the living areas and bathroom in the main house with everyone else.
The studio is quite self contained with an ensuite, but only has a kitchenette (microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker)
If you need a place to work we can provide a desk for you in the office.
Bedding, towels, wi-fi etc are included along with groceries for all meals including some snacks.
When we are home and taking turns sharing the cooking, please make whatever you fancy (except for beetroot!), we will cover cost of groceries. We'll sort out the best way to organise your breakfast and lunches with you depending on your preferences.
Carlton is an cool inner urban suburb that is an easy walk or a 5 minute tram ride away from the city. If you like being in the centre of the action - then this workaway is for you.
We have public swimming pools, sporting fields, libraries, shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, arts galleries and live music all within an easy stroll.
It's easy to get away to the bush or the beach and we have some of camping equipment that you can borrow.
Melbourne is all about food, coffee, art, wine and good times!

The space is a little chaotic at the moment because we are moving, setting up an airbnb etc, but there will be plenty of space for you to set up a place to study, and you will also have your own bedroom with a balcony.
We have an off-street parking space but it is quite small and not always available, but we can give you a permit to park on the street. Also - we have a block of land where you can stay for extended periods in the Goldfields region (incredible sunsets), and you can park the caravan freely on the shore near our boat mooring in Sydney Harbour - and visit the boat as well
Yes, as long as there are no issues. Our life is complicated and we want our guests to be completely comfortable, so pets are welcome as long as the arrangement is simple and completely pleasant for everyone. Please note we have 2 cats and a dog (lab/border collie cross). All our pets are very friendly and happy.
