We have a big garden and really appreciate some help getting on top of the weeds. We are slowly restoring some native bush at the back of the house. Help with general household jobs such as putting out washing and doing dishes is also a great help.

Accommodation
We have a pleasant double room that is fairly separate from the other bedrooms. However, we all share one bathroom so that requires little bit of patience from time to time. Our house is in a quiet, leafy street and is very sunny and comfortable. We would include you in family meals but appreciate sharing the cooking roster with you. We try to make about three meals a week vegetarian.
What else ...
We live near a bus route and we are about a 20 minute walk to the local beaches.
