  • Description

    Description

    We live in a 100 year old Finca between two small towns, Monda and Guaro, near Malaga and the coastline around Marbella. Our kids are 12 and 16 years old and we speak English at home, as Rob is from Canada and Henriette is Danish.

    Our property is 1.1 hectare (2.7 acres) consisting of almond and olive trees, and depending on the season we also have mangos, avocados, kiwis, oranges, lemons, figs, vegetables in the garden. We have 2 cats, Lucky and Mittens.

    There is always gardening to be done, plenty of painting and other types of work around the property. If you are good at DIY projects or fixing things, this is a great asset and a skill set we always need. Alternately, if you love to cook, we love to eat :-). Also, Danny and Emily, who came here as workaway volunteers nearly 5 years ago, are now living in a small house on our property - they can always use a hand.

    We have two guest rooms for you with a double bed in each. There is a nice bathroom in your area of the house that is communal, which tends to be mostly yours, as there are other bathrooms in the house.

    It is a 1km walk into the nearest small village, Guaro, and 3kms to Monda. There are regular busses to Marbella, which is half an hour drive away. From there you can get to anywhere on the coast, so lots to explore in your time off!
