  Description

  Hello! We are a family of four who live in a small eco community with one other family. We are unschoolers so our children (10 and 7) don’t go to school and we trust our kids and respect them ☺️❤️
  We live in yurts but have a little caravan for a new Workaway friend. We live right on the edge of Doc ranges so there are beautiful hikes right here, we live on a river with lots of beautiful swimming, it’s a lovely place to chill and have fun in!
  
  We all love having people come to stay. We are open to one person, a pair or a couple!
  
  We would love to hear from you!

  Help

  We are open to your help in all sorts of ways:
  If you are good with kids, taking our kids on adventures and hanging out
  If you are handy: helping with some of the farm DIY and eco projects
  If you are green fingered: nurturing our garden
  If you are organised; daily help with house work
  
  A mixture of child magic and house work would be a dream come true for me!
  
  It’s really important to us that people who come stay understand that kids are people too, worthy of rights and dignity ☺️
  
  We are keen for folk who are generally pretty open and relaxed, but also can loom after themselves (as in, not add to our messiness 😬)

  Accommodation

  A caravan for sleeping and a communal living space in the big yurt

  What else ...

  We live in an incredible place for nature! So many swims and walks right here and 25 minutes to a beautiful surf beach ☺️
  It would be ideal if you had a form of transport for yourself though, although we can talk about it!
