Description
Hey folks,
My Partner Emma, our 1 year old daughter and i (Erik) are living on a 1500m² block in a 3 bedroom house in a lovely little village in Tasmania.
We are 15 mins from Deloraine and 30 mins from Launceston. The Great Western Tiers are just around the corner and a definite location for you when you are into nature and hiking.
We have a spare bedroom that you will have to yourself.
Emma is Australian, and i am originally from Germany. We are avid gardeners, while currently converting a big part of the backyard lawn to garden bed areas.
We are always busy with doing renovations and improvements on the house and if we don't do that we are in the garden.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We would love help you to discover what our beautiful part of the world has to offer. It is great for nature and bush walking.
We are also keen to share our love for gardening and composting and are happy to pass on knowledge about the garden, bee keeping and chickens.
It would also be great to learn about your culture, share some cooking and learn about your travels.
Help
There is always things to do from everyones favourite weeding and mowing to planting and watering and depending on the season, tending crops, harvest and processing fruit and vegetables, cooking, general gardening, looking after chickens, firewood splitting/stacking and odd jobs. There is lots to do and we'll try to accommodate your work wishes as much as possible.

Accommodation
We have a private room with a queen bed and ensuite and can accommodate for a couple if needed.
We can provide food to make your own breakfast and lunch with shared cooking of dinners.
What else ...
Your own transport is highly recommended but not essential. There is a bus from Launceston or Devonport that comes a couple of times a day but you will find public transport quite limited.
We have bikes you can use to get around the village, we are a short distance from local shops, parks, coffee shops, pub etc.
We are farily relaxed around house rules as long as you keep things tidy and clean. Please note we have a little one so unfortunately our partying days are over and if noise could be kept to a minimum at night.

Eleven-month-old Heidi was very cheerful and quickly felt comfortable in my presence. My… read more
