    Description

    Hello! We’re a couple living on a small rural property in Meander Valley, Northern Tasmania. Our property has lovely mountain views, plenty of open space, and we are close to many fantastic food, culture and nature experiences. We are outdoorsy people with a simple, down-to-earth lifestyle and enjoy sharing our place with honest and caring people.

    We need a little help taming our garden in exchange for an opportunity to experience all this lovely part of the world has to offer. We can do one pick up and drop off to Launceston or Launceston airport and we are happy to drop our Workawayers in Deloraine or other locations as needed, so a car is not necessary to enjoy a stay with us.
