Description
We have a small hobby farm just 5kms outside the town of Deloraine in the north of Tassie.
We love having people come visit and our cats also love the extra attention of our guests.
We have many projects on our property which we would love a hand with including landscaping, gardening, weed control and animal care. We have chooks, goats, bees and 2 very friendly cats.
We regularly have wallabies, paddymellons, possums, and echidnas on the property, as well as regular fly overs by wedgetail eagles.
Myself and Pete both work part time with varied shifts throughout the week. There will be free time on the property to relax or to explore Tassie.
Own transport is useful however we can easily provide lifts into Deloraine or loan a push bike for those wishing to explore on two wheels.
Maximum stay is two weeks (longer may be negotiated)
