***For workawayers aged 25+***
We are looking for creative and hands-on helpers to join us in our beachside cottage in Terrigal. Current projects include building a small wooden deck, general garden maintenance, some cleaning tasks, sewing curtains and cushions, creating artwork and painting furniture, as well as DIY jobs like painting rooms and walking our dog some days.
If you enjoy working with your hands - whether that’s carpentry, sewing, painting, or gardening—you’ll find plenty of opportunities here. Our home has a relaxed and creative atmosphere, and we’d love to welcome someone who can bring their skills and ideas to make the space even more beautiful.
***************************************
Hi, we’re Anja (German/Spanish), Alberto (Italian) and our 5-year-old Groodle, Pipo. We love meeting people from all walks of life, exchanging stories, and sharing experiences in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Our home is in Terrigal (Central Coast) – a quiet, leafy area just a 15–20 min walk to the beach and village. Public transport is limited and we live on a steep hill, so having your own transport is ideal, but we can pick you up from Gosford train station if needed.
You’ll have either a king/twin room with private bathroom or a queen size bed with private bedroom. Both are comfortable and well-equipped.
We enjoy creative projects, home improvement and gardening, so hands-on or creative skills are welcome!
We often have a few friendly dogs visiting during the week, so you’ll need to be a dog lover and happy to share common spaces with some furry friends (no dogs in your room).
If this sounds like your kind of stay, we’d love to hear from you!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
I (Anja) am a blend of German/Spanish background but have lived in Australia for approx. 15 years (and two years in Lugano, Switzerland). I speak German, English, Spanish and Italian and I am more than happy to practice with you :-)
I love to dance salsa/bachata and I am taking several classes weekly. I am more than happy to take you to dance events if you are interested!
I'm Alberto, originally from Italy, and I've been living in Australia for 17 years. I work in cybersecurity and spend most of the week in Sydney for work. I'm also caring for my 17-year-old son.
Arbeit
Our ideal workawayers are respectful, mature adults who are independent and able to manage things on their own. We’re often away in Sydney for work, so it’s important that you’re comfortable being on your own during those times.
We are specifically looking for help running the house, and this encompasses everything from gardening, cleaning, DIY tasks, cooking meals and assisting with walking and taking care of our dog. At this stage we would love to built a small deck as well as paint and transform some more rooms.
General maintenance could be mowing the lane, remove weeds and leaves, lay new mulch, plant flowers, painting jobs, organize the workshop, tidying up etc.
We would like someone who would enjoy talking our dog for a walk or to the beach once a day for an hour.
We will offer food for breakfast, lunch and dinner but are not always around to cook so need people who are independent enough to cook for themselves and share the cooking/cleaning up when we are all together.
In exchange we expect 25hrs of work during the week and are flexible with helping days.

Anja and Alberto were very warm and welcoming, and I was truly happy to be there.
Their dog, Pipo, was always hungry and would adorably beg for food whenever I was eating.
The nearby beach had a beautiful view and a refreshing breeze.
I wish both of them all the best in the future.
