  Description

  I live in beautiful Brunswick Heads, a short bike ride to the beach or bush walk to the river. This is Bundjalung country, a special part of the world where the rainforest meets the ocean. It rains here in summer, winters are warm and dry. There are waterfalls, beautiful beaches and luscious bushland to explore. For decades spiritual seekers have been attracted to the land here, with its ancient roots as a meeting place for peoples from across the continent.
  
  I’m an artist, practice yoga and Ayurveda and have my children and our family dog Ruby here 50% of the time.
  
  I would love help weeding, gardening as well as cleaning and maintaining the house. If you have good CANVA or Photography skills I love help on creative projects to share my art online.
  
  In exchange I can offer a place to park and plug in your van, use of a bathroom, shared kitchen and laundry or bedroom inside the house if you don’t have a van or your own accommodation. I only offer stays of one week at a time.

  If you have a normal sized van you can drive into the back garden and have access into the house from the back deck. Your own bathroom and use of the family kitchen or outdoor shower and barbecue.
  
  If your camping vehicle is larger there is a dedicated parking spot at the front of the house off the street. We live in a quiet suburban road opposite bushland.
  
  I cook primarily vegetarian meals. I will source what you enjoy to make your own breakfast and lunch and provide a homemade evening meal. I have excellent juicer and blender for smoothies and juicing.

  What else ...

  There are limited buses from town into surrounding areas including Byron Bay so having your own car is ESSENTIAL? Please do not apply if you do not have your own transport.
  
  There is much going on locally, live music at the local pub, Sunday night drumming at the foreshore, a regular monthly market and plenty of beach and river landscapes to enjoy. Fantastic restaurants and stellar entertainment at the Brunswick Picture House.
