Description
I am an Aussie born and bred and love where I live by the beach and bays just north of Sydney with my husband and cats.
The area is very quiet and is surrounded by nature. There are only a few shops and cafes nearby.
It is good for bushwalking, artists, birdwatching, fishing, swimming and surfing.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I’m interested in providing real world conversational English and I’m also interested in learning about other cultures and perspectives.
We live in a rural/urban area, surrounded by protected natural areas of bushland, waterfalls, rainforest and water ways.
We have a small but active community.

Accommodation
A lovely waterfront holiday cottage in an area popular for Sydney residents escaping the city.
There are bikes and a canoe, nearby tennis court, and fishing spots. The surf beach and National Park is walking distance.
Wi-Fi, aircon and fully equiped kitchen. Large tv, books and games. Cafes and convenience stores are a short walk away.
I live 5 mins away and work will be at either property.
What else ...
We are 1 hour north of Sydney.
You can get here via train to Gosford or Woy Woy then a ferry, bus or taxi/Uber to Pretty Beach/Wagstaffe.
There is limited public transport in this quiet location but everything you need is in walking distance. Local convenience stores stock essentials and the larger supermarkets will deliver.
There is also a ferry close by that goes to Palm Beach and Ettalong or Umina taking only 15 mins.
Cafes are open for breakfast and lunch.
The area is known for bushwalking, birdwatching, surfing, swimming, fishing, and inspires many local artists.
The local club will show you a good example of Australian culture on weekends.
