Description
We’re a relaxed, outdoors-loving household of 3, based in Mona Vale, a walk to the beach and surrounded by the beautiful waterways and bushland of Pittwater. Our location offers the best of both worlds – coastal living, nature on your doorstep, and easy access to cafes, coastal walks, surf and swimming spots.
We enjoy meeting people from different cultures and sharing stories, meals, and experiences. Hosting travellers through Workaway is something we really value, and we aim to create a respectful, friendly, and supportive environment for everyone who stays with us.
In exchange for your help, we offer:
*Comfortable accommodation in separate granny flat
*A welcoming home atmosphere
*Shared meals
* Plenty of free time to enjoy the beach, Pittwater, and surrounding areas
You’ll have opportunities to swim, kayak, hike, relax by the ocean, or explore nearby coastal villages during your downtime. We are close to transport with buses to the city, Manly and surrounding areas at our doorstep.
We’re looking for friendly, reliable, and respectful travellers who enjoy outdoor work and don’t mind getting their hands dirty. If you’re easy-going, enjoy nature, and like being part of a household rather than just a place to stay, you’ll fit in well here.
