  I live in an eco village which is situated in a beautiful little town of Witchcliffe in the south west of Western Australia, only 8km from the well known Margaret River town and Margs world famous surf break . Our nearest beach is superb.. Redgate.. just down the end of the road. Great for a stimulating swim and surf.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I live in a small community and everyone is friendly, people walking past, stopping to chat, getting together, sharing cuppas, food, wine 🍷.
  
  Nearly every home has a gentle dog., I have a black Labrador, a rescue with me just over three months, so he’s still a teenager and wilful and funny but a bit reactionary 🐾🐶 as he’s never met other dogs before! New to the beach, park and dam. Yes, a handful but not at all aggressive and loves to play.
  
  I run a trekking (hiking) company . Yes I’m a passionate multiday hiker and I have the Cape to Cape Track on my doorstep. So lucky 🍀 👣 want to hike, I can lend you some hike gear and help with transport to and from.
  
  I’ve walked tracks all over the world and love meeting other travellers. I’ve even managed a backpackers (yes live in with travellers) so yes I encourage all to get out and see the world.

  Help

  I’m very capable, extremely fit and imaginative but there are some labour jobs that are too high or heavy for my hands.
  
  So you would be doing the tasks alongside me and on your own.
  
  Painting, paving and other small jobs finishing off my landscaping.
  
  Inside I need help with hanging art work and shelving. I have the drill, but it’s a two person job.

  Accommodation

  Separate accommodation in a large airy shed with lovely outlook through sliding door. Cooking on electric stove one burner (barbecue available) and outside kitchen sink and there is a small fridge. .
  
  Shed has its own bathroom with shower, toilet , trough and washing machine. A queen sofa bed and lots of comfy stretcher beds for extras.
  
  Only restriction is the use of my rainwater .. just two tanks so we have to conserve.
  
  Meals... I can obtain a lot of veges, some fruit and bread and have to be careful of $$. Love to experience world cooking and share ideas and meals.
