    Description

    Come and stay with us in a unique solar-powered timber cabin on a huge bird-filled lagoon. 20 kms from Lismore & 12 kms from Casino, NSW. We seek individuals or couples willing to do ten hours per week work in exchange for accommodation & food supplied; you do your own cooking, on a gas stove with oven.

    The cabin is at the other end of the five acres from our house. It contains one bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and veranda overlooking the lagoon. Come and spend time in Nature! With koalas, swans, wild ducks, and alpacas. And a pool to use to cool off.

    What else ...

    A young guy was renting the cabin paying low rent, in exchange for 4 hours per week work (he also had an outside job), but he has gone travelling now. We have decided to offer the accommodation free for ten hours work per week.

    I am a 70 year old psychologist. My son stays at my house sometimes, but has his own land 50 kms away. I have only moved to this property last year, and am finding grass mowing a bit of a stretch at present.
