Description
I live independently in a large double story home on 1 acre of land on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.
The beach is only a 300 mt walk from my front door and the 12 Apostles about a 1 hour drive. There are also lots of rainforest walks and waterfalls very close by. Lots of opportunity to surf, kayak, bike ride on great mountain tracks or scenic roads and walk the Shipwreck coast along the iconic Great Ocean Walk. There is an abundance of wildlife around and you can even find a Koala or two in my backyard. I have chickens that free range around the yard as well. We all live in harmony. Please understand that I am unable to host single males but comfortable if they are partnered.

They are 2 young girls that are willing to learn and also become part of the family. Their jobs were cooking, cleaning and some very challenging and physical gardening, which they did happily.
It was a pleasure to host them and I definitely recommend them to any other hosts.
