Description
Jax and Scott live on an 8 acre property near beautiful Jervis Bay. Scott is a gardener and musician and Jax is designer working from home. Scott's 8 year old son comes to visit on weekends. We have 7 chickens, 2 kittens and a resident kangaroo that hangs around our land who we call Roofus. There is a lot of bush on our property and we have lots of resident birds. We have lived here for 2 years and need some help to work on the land including planting, weeding and clearing. We are looking for some friendly and reliable people to help us in the garden in exchange for free accommodation in a separate cottage. Could suit digital nomads as the wifi is FAST. You will need a car.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is lots to do in the area. You can see dolphins at the local beaches, go kayaking, bush walking at Booderee national park, visit the local brewery down the road that has trivia and open mic nights. Huskisson has a small movie cinema and a good pub. We are a creative couple and have traveled a lot. We are friendly and enjoy meeting new people. We are also really into music.
Help
The help is mostly planting and clearing. We want to establish some additional garden beds for growing more food and are putting in new plants.

Accommodation
We have a second 3 bedroom cottage on our property that we hire out during the summer season on the short term rental page. We are hoping to offer it in exchange for work exchange. Two bedrooms have comfy queen beds and one bedroom has 2 bunks. The house is surrounded by trees, birds and wildlife. It's very private and located around 150m from our home. Huge yard and plenty of outdoor space on the property. Outdoor entertaining area with BBQ and outdoor setting. Upgraded kitchen, and polished timber floors throughout. Separate dining room, large nicely styled lounge with stereo and Smart TV. Very fast wifi. You have your own driveway and parking. The property is a short drive from supermarkets, restaurants, beaches and nature spots. NOTE We are not planning to provide food.
What else ...
It is best if you have your own car as we are semi rural. Great place to explore the beautiful south coast. Only 10 minutes drive to the beaches, restaurants and cafes of Huskisson, Jervis Bay, Hyams Beach and close to other beaches, water ways and national parks.
