    Description

    We, Suza, artist, and Warwick, designer have made ourselves a new home closer to nature and are now learning to live a more sustainable, healthier lifestyle. We have 3 chickens, 7 lambs, and 1 little dog and we are growing our own vegies and some fruit. We are looking for someone to help us in the garden. You would be working 4 hours a day, sharing with us the challenges, the good fun and conversation, and of course the yummy homegrown food. Our land has ocean views, is only 7 min walking distance to the beach, and includes farmland and native bush with a little waterfall. There is a little cottage, an alfresco bathroom with a hot shower looking into the bush, and a caravan with seating and kitchen. We also provide for 3 meals a day, there is an old surfboard, internet and snorkelling gear for your use.
