  • Description

    Description

    Our property is in Research, Victoria, Australia. We’re located around 20km from Melbourne CBD and live on 17 acres. There are two houses on the property, a main Mudbrick home where our family of 5 live and a smaller Mudbrick cottage where our workawayers would stay (see pictures). The property has a mix of bush land, sheep paddocks and beautiful gardens with expansive lawns. We've only recently moved in, so don't currently have any animals on the property.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We’re an easy going Australian family with 3 children, aged 8,4 and 2. We own a business and as a result are quite busy zipping around here, there and everywhere. Our little hobby farm is beautiful and quintessentially Australian. There are kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas roaming the property and we are only 40 min drive into Melbourne city.
    You will be staying in a seperate 2 bed Mudbrick cottage which is rustic, but has a beautiful energy.
    Access to a car can also be offered to appropriately licensed drivers.
