Description
Hi, I'm Nich (Nick)
I live in a beautiful rainforest an hour from Melbourne and I'm always looking for fun and energetic Workawayers.
Currently looking for workawayers over the Christmas period.
My house used to be a BnB and has two beautiful bedrooms for workaway guests - both with ensuite and doors to balcony where you can hear the creek run by. I enjoy good wholesome food and will feed you well.
In return I expect my workawayers to complete 5 hours of work 5 days per week. You are welcome to complete more hours each day and have more time off. I'm happy to drive you to local interests such as the Healesville Sanctuary, wineries or into Healesville/Yarra Glen on your free days.
I live a busy, but relaxed existence and work from home. I tend to go to bed early and get up early, but you don't have to! I don't usually drink alcohol during the week, but you are welcome to bring your own.
IMPORTANT
I am well travelled and very open minded. I strongly support the inclusion of people in our community irrespective of their spirituality, gender orientation, sexuality, or cultural background.
Enjoy your day.
Nich

Sophie was just great to have around. Helpful and thoughtful, and lots of interesting conversations. Having done so much travelling she has lots of great stories to tell. Snap her up if you can!

We loved having the girls come and stay with us. Interesting conversations, helpful at dinner time and they did lots of great jobs for us! It's a shame they couldn't stay with us longer.

Nick and Kim are two amazing and very positive people, who made us feel at home immediately. The house and the location are fasciniting and very comfortable to relax, after getting some fun jobs done. Annelies and I had a great time with the high pressure cleaner, cleaning the deck, and an even better time playing with the dogs and horse. They are… read more
