    We had the wonderful experience of hosting over 250 volunteers over 3 years whilst building the Round House
    We have been living in the house for 6 years now and have decided to begin hosting again (2 people at a time) to help us with jobs around the farm

    We live and work on a beautiful 80 acre farm in West Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. We run a horse Agistment business, have over 30 horses on the farm, 3 friendly pet cows, a dog, a cat and spectacular scenery and wildlife. And the most amazing sunsets over the Gippsland landscape nearly every night!

    We supply a unique experience, rewarding physical work, healthy living and heaps of fun!
    You will be staying in our home in our guest room (queen size bed perfect for a couple) with clean bedding supplied. We have excellent wi-fi internet.

    We will organise transport to and from the farm from the closest train station (Trafalgar) which is a 1.40hr train ride from Southern Cross train station in Melbourne.

    We are just minutes from Blue Rock lake so we like to go swimming there in the hotter months and during the colder months we enjoy campfires and cranking up our wood fired pizza oven.

    If you're full of beans, very keen to see a breathtaking part of Victoria, and build something incredibly interesting and rewarding, please get in touch!

    Not essential but a bonus if you have any experience in the following:
    Building, Bricklaying, Landscaping, Farm Help

    Please note we are open to hosting a couple or two fiends traveling together, we can't host singles at this time. We would ideally like you to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks. Prefer non-smokers.

    We'd love to have you!

    Ursula & Luke
