Description
Ciao! We’re Resi and Vince — a friendly couple living on a 12-acre lifestyle property just outside beautiful Beechworth, North East Victoria. Since moving here in 2016, we’ve planted hundreds of trees, built veggie gardens, started an orchard, and welcomed many Workawayers who’ve helped turn our little patch into something special.
Availability:
NE Victoria in Winter isn’t possibly the picture of what visitors think of Australia. We welcome helpers but limit to one or a couple until end of August. Please come prepared with winter clothing including waterproof coat and footwear.
We have availability for 2-3 weeks stay during these days in July and August as follows:
22 June to 13 July
20 July to 14 August
Resi (Italian, 52) is a permaculture enthusiast and veggie-growing and preserving addict. Vince (Australian, 45) loves mountain biking and home brewing, when he gets the time. We both enjoy good food, the outdoors, and a simple, sustainable life.
We don’t host helpers over Christmas and New Years Eve. (23 December to 4 January)
If you’re easygoing, love nature, and enjoy the satisfaction of hands-on work, come join us and be part of our next chapter! 🌾 -

A mix of Italian, Welsh, UK and obviously, Aussie experiences await you. Beechworth is brimming with history and culture. We are ourselves on a journey to learn more about managing a lifestyle block, we would welcome for you to learn with us.

Help
We are currently seeking help with the following jobs:
*** Gardening helping hand***
Help us maintain and develop our veggie patch. Prep beds, keep the weeding up to scratch, plant seedlings out, sow seeds, water when needed and maintain the harvest.
*** Orchard and mulching hand!***
Our Orchard is in need of some TLC and your help would be great to weed, prune, mulch and setup irrigation.
Other opportunities are possible, have a chat with us about what your interests are and what you can offer.
We ask for around 21 hours of help per week in exchange for comfortable accommodation and good food (bedding and towels provided).
Note: all our animals on the property are part of a permaculture cycle - they live a great life on our paddocks but eventually they reside in our freezers. If you are vegetarian or vegan, consider this before applying.
Every day’s a little different, but tasks might include:
- Keeping the veggie patch and orchard thriving — planting, weeding, watering, harvesting
- Helping with goat and chicken care (feeding, cleaning pens, topping up water)
- Light property maintenance or DIY if that’s your thing
- We might also have one off projects, such as extending our chicken fence, some sewing and some preserving
We work around the weather — early mornings and later afternoons when it’s hot, with long lazy lunch breaks when the sun’s blazing! -

Accommodation
We have two spare queen sized rooms, and whilst we could host two couples, we try to limit to max 2 helpers at any one time.
All bedding and towels are provided. Bathroom is private but shared amongst helpers (we have our own ensuite).
We mostly eat vegetarian meals or some of our own farm raised meat but are flexible — Resi used to be vegan and loves experimenting in the kitchen. If you enjoy cooking, even better! -
What else ...
If you wish to visit North East Victoria and save some money on your great Aussie experience this is something worth considering. Beechworth has got plenty of cafes and hospitality places, including two breweries, to earn some extra much needed travelling funds, and at the right time of the year, there is plenty of harvest and vineyard work for you to also gain your visa days (check postcode is allowed by your WHV> 3747) Please note we can't assist with securing any work
We’re about 6 km from town (a 20-minute bike ride — bikes available).
On your days off, explore Beechworth’s historic gold-mining streets, cycle tracks, wineries, breweries, and bushwalking trails. In winter, the alpine ski fields are about two hours away.locally.

Our first experience with a pregnant workaway :), and it was a good one, both Guillaume & Lena were a laugh to be about, much enjoyed their company, especially helpful with cooking and general house hold activities, and lots of bits of fencing and gardening/tree planting got done while they were here, would love to see them both again when life is

It was our first experience of workaway and we really enjoyed it!
Vince and Resi are very welcoming and they understand what it is to be a workawayer.
We could choose how to organise our work during the week and that was great. We did different kind of interesting jobs : weeding, sowing, planting, reparing the door of the "chicken palace", … read more

We stayed with Resi and Vince for about 10 days and We had a great time! The accomodation is lovely and the food healthy and delicious. If you are interested in permaculture, sustainability, animals and nature in general, there is a lot to learn from this guys.

Dustin and Alyssa stayed with us for a couple of weeks, then were committed workers, they brought fantastic cooking skills, worked in our farm, made our house look so much better with our now painted and sparkling windows, they impressed us with the ownership they took of the task especially in the face of the rainstorm.

We stayed with Resi & Vince for 2 weeks and it was a fabulous time! They have a big property with lots of projects to work on. We painted windows and tried to keep on top of the garden -although, we let a few zucchinis get a little too big ;) I also got to bottle feed 2 baby lambs and it was adorable! Resi and Vince took us trail-running in the

Max was with us for a good while, he exceeded our initial expectations. don't be fooled by your first impressions of him, he is a determined worker, and has no trouble mixing with different social classes.

Despite all the threats to give you a bad review, I find it impossible to do so. Resi and Vinnie, you guys were the perfect hosts. You were nothing but a delight to stay with? You kept us very well fed with all your kitchen creations and even better hydrated with vinnies brew which I expect to see in English shops by the time I'm back there (take

Wincy stayed with us for a week and we really appreciate her willingness to try and have a go at things. Her background isn't outdoorsey as in farming/horticulture, and therefore she needed support in embracing tasks, but once this was done, she was great at getting on with things.

Staying with Resi and Vince was great! It's so nice and easy to live with them :). They're friendly, talkative and above all, comprehensive. They have been workawayers as well and they know how it feels like. Thanks to this, they make sure you feel comfortable and at home, which is always nice when traveling and they don't ask for too much.

Jeanne has been a pleasure to be around, so full of enthusiasm for new experiences and her trip in this new country! 'For sure' she will be having a great time in Australia and will be of great help around any other hosts places.
It has been a pleasure to meet you, you know where we are, come and visit - Bruce needs some more cuddling!
