Description
Hi,
I live on a property with two buildings and two other females in Ocean Shores, NSW, Australia.
We are located in one of the most popular areas of the Northern Rivers, a 3-minute drive to beautiful beaches in Brunswick Heads and New Brighton/South Golden Beach, 15 minutes drive to Mullumbimby and 18 minutes drive to Byron Bay. The Ocean Shores shopping centre is within 10 minutes walking distance.
We love the beach, vegan cooking, yin yoga, meditation, mandala painting, dancing and gardening.
At present our garden is like an empty canvas. We have started some veggie beds and we are looking for someone to help us create some more; this includes assembling garden beds, planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, watering, making little terraces...Painting some walls could also be on the menu. Generally we'd like help 4 hrs per day, 5 days per week.
You would be staying in the main house in a generous-sized guest room; it has a queen-size bed, wardrobe and ceiling fan. The bathroom is a few steps down a hallway. There is also a big lounge, kitchen/dining area and a verandah.
We prefer someone who appreciates a vegan lifestyle or is open to learn about it. You could eat with the host or cook your own meals, however this is a vegan household and cooking animal products is not appropriate.

You would have a generous sized bedroom with 2 windows, blinds, curtains, ceiling fan, wardrobe and queen size bed. The bathroom is a few meters down the hallway.
You can cook your own meat-free food or eat with the host.
What else ...
It will be beneficial to have your own vehicle as public transport is limited. A walk to the beach takes 30 minutes, walking to the Shopping Centre takes 10 minutes; there is also a pub, cafe, bakery, health food shop, herbal dispensary, sushi bar and more.
Good items to bring are your own art supplies, yoga mat and sun-protective clothing.

Pixy
Pixy is a female cat that has lived with me for 15 years. As she is adopted I don't know her exact age but she could be 16-18 years old! She is a shy cat that likes to be left alone but enjoys a good pat mostly in the evenings.
