Description
🌿Long-Term Workaway for 25+ (ideally 2 people with their own car) 🌿
***Fully booked in Nov/Dec 2025***
We’re currently looking for reliable and independent Workawayers to join us in our relaxed beachside home in Terrigal.
The help we need is around 2.5 hours per day (Monday to Thursday) in exchange for accommodation only (no meals provided).
Typical tasks include:
• Walking our friendly Groodle, Pipo, for about 1 hour a day (we’re happy to pay extra if you’re available to walk him on weekends)
• Garden maintenance and watering plants
• Housekeeping and general help around the home as needed
You’ll have your own private room and bathroom at the back of the house, separate from our main living space. The helping hours can be flexible within Monday to Thursday when we’re home.
This setup is best suited for people looking for a longer-term stay (1 month or more) who want a comfortable base while working remotely or locally (e.g. in hospitality or other nearby jobs).
Because we live on a steep hill and public transport is limited, having a car is essential for your own errands and getting around.
***************************************
We’re Anja (German/Spanish), Alberto (Italian), and our 5-year-old Groodle, Pipo. Our home has a warm, friendly and creative atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed hosting many wonderful Workawayers and love meeting people from all over the world.
Terrigal is a beautiful coastal town on the NSW Central Coast, just a 15–20 minute walk from the beach and village.
If you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, enjoy dogs, and are happy to lend a hand with light daily tasks, we’d love to hear from you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I (Anja) am a blend of German/Spanish background but have lived in Australia for approx. 15 years (and two years in Lugano, Switzerland). I speak German, English, Spanish and Italian and I am more than happy to practice with you :-)
I love to dance salsa/bachata and I am taking several classes weekly. I am more than happy to take you to dance events if you are interested!
I'm Alberto, originally from Italy, and I've been living in Australia for 17 years. I work in cybersecurity and spend most of the week in Sydney for work. I'm also caring for my 17-year-old son.

Anja and Alberto were very warm and welcoming, and I was truly happy to be there.
Their dog, Pipo, was always hungry and would adorably beg for food whenever I was eating.
The nearby beach had a beautiful view and a refreshing breeze.
I wish both of them all the best in the future.
