    Description

    Looking for a couple - to stay in our separate guest accommodation.


    Our property is located in Coffs Harbour, Midway between Sydney and Brisbane. We have a large modern home on acreage that overlooks the ocean out the front, and the rainforest out the back. We have separate guest accommodation, for a couple or single at any one time so you can enjoy some privacy. Our property also has a built in salt water swimming pool for those warmer months for all to enjoy.

    We like to lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. We live approximately 8 km's out of town. We are surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches on the Australian coast line. Please feel free to Google, things to do in Coffs Harbour!

    On this property we have 1 dog, 1 pony, 1 horse, 1 hen, 1 rooster, 1 chick and 3 keets (Guinea fowl) All of our Children have grown up and live in their own homes. I have always maintained the property by myself, however lately I am incredibly busy with work, I am not getting any younger and am now falling behind.

    The main meal & lunch ingredients are provided for you in the guest accommodation. Fresh eggs can be supplied for breakfast.

    This position would be suited to one person, or a couple. As in female/Male. It would also suit someone that is looking for solitude, as it is very quite here. No party goers and preferably non smokers please :-)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    They could practice the English language, and if you are from the city, you would definitely experience the quiet life here, even though we are only 10 minutes out of Town.

  • Help

    Help

    Ideally, the person we would like to host, would be over the age of 25, or....a very mature non partying younger person/s.

    Help is needed to build a chicken coop, fix some fencing, a small amount of painting whipper snipping and just general maintenance around the property.
    I would love for you to be a motivated person, that does not need constant direction. Someone that likes the outdoors, and living in a more serene part of the world would mostly enjoy this location.

    Other duties would include light work around the house, some cooking.
    Of course, you would not be expected to be experienced in all of the above, but if you have some knowledge in any of the areas listed....let's chat :-)

    Our Family has had the opportunity to live and work in many countries over the past 20 years, especially in South East Asia. so we understand completely how exciting this venture can be, and also how at times you may miss your family and friends terribly. We can and will be compassionate toward this feeling if it was to arise :)
