Description
We would love some help in tidying our garden. We can offer a safe, comfortable place to stay for a week or 2 for the right enthusiastic helpful person/couple.
We are a loud, fun and just a little bit messy family of 5 (Grandmother, mum, dad, + a 19 year old, & 9 year old). We love our large home in the Blue mountains and happy to share a room with talented travellers - we offer a cute private studio (as pictured) with lounge, double bed and sink. Access to full bathroom inside main house. There are a lot of gardening projects we have and would love for you to be creative and share gardening ideas. We do have 2 dogs & 2 cats, (they add to the fun & messy part).
