    We offer free accommodation in a private off grid bush cabin on the property in exchange for two 4-5 hour days help, 3 days per week, per person. we can accommodate a maximum of 3 people in the cabin.

    Life on our property will give the workaways a simple, quiet and peaceful experience living on the land under the large gum trees in our beautiful coastal region of the Illawarra. They will join us on our day to day activities and have the chance to explore the surrounding mountains and swim in the many wonderful beaches that hug the coast of the area. We hope to bring in new people from all different walks of life and give them a taste of a true Australiana lifestyle :)
