Description
It’s just my partner Paul & I at home now with my 15yr old daughter week about. We both work full on full time jobs so our lifestyle block is getting away on us. This is a tranquil spot close to the city. We’d love to host people in exchange for help creating an abundant vege garden - the bones are there it’s just very neglected/overgrown! Options for your own space in a sleepout or in the house. We have an old orchard with beehives. 3 friendly horses grazing here, contemplating some livestock. 2 elusive cats & one Giant puppy also share our home. Can help with lifts to bus stops + bikes available for use. 20mins to CBD (by car)
