    Description

    We've recently moved into a new place in Warrnambool, which is a share house for young professionals and students. I've had experience with workaway while travelling overseas, and enjoyed meeting new people, learning from locals and making amazing memories along the way!
    (Please note, as the owner is currently at the property part time, we're not able to include meals as standard, and thus are offering 3 hours a day 5 days a week. We'll plan a meal or more together, as dates allow!)
    (Please note, we not not available for April, and I will be overseas and may be slow to respond. We are possibly hosting through May, June, July, so do reach out if this is of interest!)

    I've just bought a lovely old place, that needs a bit of love!

    After 10+ years in sharehouses across Melbourne, Queensland and internationally, My move to Warrnambool has allowed me to buy this lovely old place!

    We enjoy the community of sharing, while understanding housemates all have alot on! A great place to stay while you explore the region, enjoy the achievement of optimising your environment, with plenty of time to explore!

    Our place is a fixer- upper and we need help with a variety of projects, including but not limited to:

    Standard cleaning - vacuuming, mopping, dusting, cleaning windows.
    Deep cleaning - baseboards, inside wardrobes and kitchen cupboards etc.
    Gardening - weeding, trimming bushes, general tidying, The bathtub pictured, is calling out to be turned into a herb garden!
    Property maintenance - basic handy skills, measuring for new blinds, and hanging curtains using hand tools, installing new shower heads, updating cupboard hardware, wall mounting mirrors, etc. using youtube and planning with us.
    We have a large garden and shed, that supply plenty of opportunity for improvement!
