Description
Come Share Life With Us in the Blue Mountains (Off-Grid Bush Home)
Hello!
We’re a blended family living in beautiful Mount Victoria in the Blue Mountains, about 2 hours from Sydney. Our family is blended with Leanne (I’m First Nations), my husband Tim our son Eli (3 years old, full time with us and full of joy and curiosity).
On occasion we have Tim's children (16yrs & 19yrs). We’re in the process of slowly shaping our place into a peaceful off-grid bush retreat — 100% solar powered, surrounded by trees, quiet, and big skies. This space is very special to us and we’re building it with care and intention. We’d love to welcome helpers who would like to share in that experience for around 4 weeks.
We offer:
* A peaceful bush setting
* Comfortable accommodation with ensuite
* Shared meals
*Time to explore the Blue Mountains (walks, lookouts, waterfalls)
* Connection to culture and stories
A Little More About Us
As a First Nations woman, this place holds meaning for me beyond just being a house. Over time, we hope it becomes a small bush retreat space grounded in care, culture and connection to land. If you’re curious and open, I’m always happy to share stories and perspectives. We value warmth, honesty, humour and people who naturally pitch in and take initiative. If this feels like your kind of experience, tell us a bit about you.
We’re looking forward to welcoming the right people into this next chapter with us.

-Simple DIY or practical projects around the house
-Cleaning and organising
-Preparing or helping cook family meals
-Spending some gentle, playful time with Eli
We especially value people who are:

Preferred Driving is helpful and your own car/vehicle (we’re in the mountains), and good English makes communication easier.
