Description
Hi travellers! We are a blended family of 6 living on 10 acres in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. We bought our property almost 6 years ago and have spent a lot of time trying to manage weed species so that we can get native trees and grasses to grow again to support the kangaroos, koalas, bandicoots, echindas and birds that share our home. We are also trying to establish a good pasture so that we can work towards a self-sustained lifestyle.
Now, here's the BEST news....
About our place:
We live on top of a north facing hill with city views all the way across the ocean to Yorke Peninsula!
We are only 7 minutes to the beautiful town of Stirling and 20 minutes to the City - having your own car is important.
There are heaps of native animals on and around our property
We have a swimming pool that you can use (during hotter months) to cool off after work or in winter, places to have a fire and enjoy getting back to nature.
Workaway accommodation options range from camping to a self contained loft appt - just depends on availability.
We really look forward to hearing from you!
