Description
We have a beautiful home over looking the beach at Mollymook on the south coast of NSW Australia, around 3 hours south of Sydney. We run a Surf School on Mollymook Beach and during summer it gets so busy we need some help with cooking, shopping, cleaning, gardening and general maintenance.
Type of help
Gardening
General Maintenance
Cooking / shopping
Help in the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will be able to immerse themselves in a naturally beautiful part of the coast with a truly Australian Beach culture. This small town attracts surfers and nature lovers from far and wide. This is where Australians from nearby cities Sydney and Canberra and rural areas come to holiday. You will be living with life long surfers and seeing how their Surf School operates from behind the scenes. Opportunities for paid work at the Surf School and surrounding hospitality businesses are also possible.
Help
In exchange for accommodation and some meals we need help with general household maintenance including cooking, cleaning and gardening. There is a large vegetable garden and yard that requires getting your hands dirty and then various tasks around the house to keep it clean and tidy. We are working constantly everyday running the Surf School during the summer months and would really appreciate some help at this time of year.
Languages spoken
English, Swedish, German
Accommodation
You will have your own private room with queen size bed, built in wardrobes and en suite bathroom. All rooms have views of the ocean and waves washing onto the nearby white sand beach. The evening meal will be provided, we have fresh food meal plans delivered and one of the duties will be to help with the cooking. Basic breakfast and lunch provisions will also be stocked during your stay.
What else ...
Our home is conveniently located a short walk to the beach, rock pools, golf course & Club, cafes, restaurants and shops. There are many local walking and bike paths and nature trails. The neighboring larger town of Ulladulla has everything you could expect from a major coastal town, shops, cinemas, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Nearby Milton is a historical town with many niche and cute stores. The surrounding area has some of the best beaches and bush walking in Australia. You will hear and see many colorful birds, get up close with kangaroos and swim the ocean with dolphins while you are here.

Ohhhh I can’t say enough about my time at Geoff’s!!! Mollymook is definitely a special place, breathtaking nature wise, and people are incredibly kind and welcoming.

Anne_Lotte is a very positive person and it was a great couple of weeks having her and friend Bo staying here. They completed all their tasks independently and were always keen to help out.
