Informationen
Beschreibung
In the past ten years we have hosted over one hundred and twenty Workawayers! They have helped with demolition, landscaping, turfing, bush work and painting.
The property needs some tending of the garden and lawns and the house needs a clean and touch up from top to bottom. We would welcome some help from active and enthusiastic people. Couples welcomed or singles too.
We have plenty of wildlife around the property - wallabies, possums, bandicoots, bush turkeys, rabbits and lots of sulphur crested cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets, king parrots and other colourful birds.
Our location is Bayview near Mona Vale in the beautiful Northern Beaches area of Sydney. The centre of Sydney is an hour by local bus from Mona Vale.
We are only a short trip to several surfing beaches and also the quiet waters of the Pittwater inlet, a great place for sailing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding.
We have unlimited internet.
Average stay is about two weeks!
We expect 20-25 hours work for one weeks food and accommodation.
NON Smokers only please.
We do have a dog.
Look forward to hearing from you with any questions you may have.
Rob and Frances

Vom Host für Workawayer (Tomas)
It was a pleasure to host Tomas. He was very skilled and hardworking, willing to take on any task. He was very handy using the bigger demolition tools such as the jackhammer. He always made sure everything was put away and the work area left tidy.
We would be happy to recommend him!
Hope to see you again Tomas!

Rob and Frances are a lovely couple in a huge place with wonderful views and surroundings.
I spent just one week with them and two cute dogs and it was great. There were also some more workawayers, what made it even funnier ;))
Thank you very much guys!
Look after yourselves and be happy,
Celia
