    Description

    Our home has been handmade by us, and we have a window of time where we would love some workawayers join us to help do some easy maintainance. Our house is in the bush on the north shore of Port Stephens, 20 mins from surf beaches, 2 minutes from local beaches. Fantastic bush walks and quiet living is the key here.
    Looking for help with oiling our house and digging a few trenches- not too hard but fun and relaxing.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Adrienne and Uli have travelled extensively for a LONG time - me for 32 years - you get the pic......
    WE began building our hand made wooden house from SCRATCH over 25 years ago. We have incorporated antique doors and furniture from around the world. Visiting and living in this style of house is a fantastic experience and a great exchange for any chores done.
    We live in the bush so all meals are cooked at home, from scratch and we love sharing food and different cooking styles with our visitors and as an exchange ask visitors what is their favourite food and if they can perhaps cook it for us ( we provide the ingredients)
    The traditional owners of the land in the area we live is the "Worimi" tribe. We can show visitors special sacred sites and midden areas close by.
    Bennets beach and Myall lakes National park are abound with huge varieties of flora and fauna. Jimmys beach is fantastic for swimming.
    We have a bead shop "Vitamin Bead" which is full of treasures we collect as we travel around the world. Visitors can come to the shop and make their own beaded jewellery!
