  Description

  I have a small 20 acre farm on top of a hill which has heavenly views. I am only at the farm mid week and live in Melbourne. I have a husband and 3 grown children and this farm is my passion project. I’ve built a rock stone wall and modified the garden to be lower maintenance as living in Melbourne makes it difficult to keep up with maintenance.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I’m at the farm Tues - Thurs where I’d love to interact with the travellers. I have a love of travelling and am very interested in other travellers’ stories. But they would also have a few days on their own in the house which may not suit everyone but might appeal to some. I love cooking, gardening, reading, art and travelling.

  Help

  Mostly just upkeep of the garden, weeding and mowing but if anyone had carpentry skills, I do need a new deck.

  Accommodation

  It’s a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home with a second shower in the laundry. One room is queen and the other has 2 singles (which could be converted to queen. I’m happy to cook for guests when I’m there - and happy for them to help themselves to what’s in cupboard but they would probably need to buy their own food when I’m not there - it would be too difficult to manage otherwise.
