Building, gardening and childcare with our family in the beautiful Byron Bay, Australia

Description

Beautiful Mexican inspired Villa, 10 mins drive from Byron Bay and amazing beaches. We are a local family that have been slowly building our dream home for the last 10 years.
We are specifically looking for someone handy with building and tools. (and ideally, a few muscles to move things about).
Having helpers for the past 8 years on our property has helped us to create our home and make our dreams become reality. We have 2 children 6 and 10 years old who are fun, loving adventurous kids who love meeting new people. We enjoy meeting new people from different cultures and working together on different projects. We appreciate all the help we get building and maintaining our home and property.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

We have had the pleasure of hosting people from all over the world. We work together with our helpers and enjoy lots of fun times together, especially in the kitchen sharing recipes. Being so close to Byron Bay beaches is always a plus. Surfing, beautiful walks and nature and visiting lical attractions like Byron Bay lighthouse or whale watching.
