    Description

    Hello wonderful people, we are Ed (Australian) Lydia (German) and Dingo(baby). We have a farm in East Gippsland and would love to have you stay and share the beautiful nature we are surrounded by. We are 50m from a private beach on the Gippsland Lakes and have kayaks for you to use.

    Our property is a hobby farm and doesnt provide us with any income, it provides lots of the food we eat which you will be able to enjoy yourself in return for some help looking after it.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We have both travelled plenty and know its nice to find a comfortable place and take a breath on the journey. The cultral exchange will depend on the time and the person, we have many nearby activities that we like to do including, camping, fishing, diving, surfing, yoga, walks, swims in the lake and many more. We love food so we will share plenty of meals and recipes together.

    Our garden is large with abundant vegetables and fruit trees that we grow for ourselves. There’s always grass to mow and weeds to pull, and you can help eat, preserve and store all of the wonderful produce!! We have chooks and ducks that need some occasional love.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have an off-grid cabin for you to stay in with everything you need to cook and live comfortably. We will no doubt share some meals, but you can also live independently 100m from the main house in the cabin. Due to our location, it is best if you have your own car as we can’t promise to have time to drive you places. The cabin and the farm are beautiful so perhaps you don’t need to go further than walking to the lake!!
