    Description

    We are a german couple with two little kids aged 2 and 4 , that loves living in nature and that's why we bought 90 acres of bushland right up a mountain to start our dream of a self sufficient farm . We love our animals and what we have achieved in the time of owning the land but there is always something to do and that's why we need help. I am fulltime mum at the moment and Stefan is a qualified carpenter from germany who has always some projects on the land and loves to share his knowledge. We are easy going and enjoy meeting new people especially from overseas who travel through australia just as we did when we fell in love with this country and decided to make it our forever home. We also cook vegetarian if possible with vegies from our own garden. If you feel like you would enjoy staying with us just send us a message.
    We are looking forward to meeting you.

    At the moment we need particular help with Babysitting,finishing our house and cooking in the kitchen
