Description
CENTRAL COAST NSW LOCATION!! We are a family of 3 adults living in a large home with a tropical pool and garden. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and other assorted small animals. The local reptilian wildlife also come and visit from time to time from October to March. These are lizards and non venomous snakes. In summer you will see them but they won’t hurt you.
Hoping to expand cultural exchange and have lots of laughs. We live on a peninsula with bay on one side, ocean beach on the other and the rest bordered by National Park.
Please note: We are 90 minutes drive north from Sydney CBD. Irregular bus service to Woy Woy station and train to Central Station Sydney is 70 minutes. Workaways are encouraged to hire a car to explore the rest of the beautiful Central Coast during their stay.
We offer a laid back stay as we are not in the city. There are lots of trails & safe swimming beaches walking distance from our house. Awesome place to surf, swim, hike or just relax. When the weather is warm you can just stay at home and swim in our lagoon pool or sit in our hot spa.
One double room with shared bathroom (double shower, bath, toilet)
Workaways have to speak good English. Work is mostly general home duties with the occasional project assist. Plenty of free time for you to discover our slice of the world.
