Hello travelers,
This is Cheri. And Jade is my partner. We have two little girls, 4-year-old Artemis and baby Posie.
Also in our family, there is a very easy going cat, Olive, and a friendly Maremma puppy, Sparky, plus seven Muscovy ducks.
We are traveling abroad from 30 October to 24 November. So we are looking for someone, a couple, or a small family to looking after our animals and our property when we are away.
Our closest town is Scottsdale, only 10 minutes drive away. Our property is off grid and surrounded by beautiful spring, natural bush and river. If you love nature, and want to explore the beautiful NE Tasmania, this is the spot for you.
You will need a car and license to get around. As it’s not practical to walk or cycle to town.
We have good solar and water set up, so you won’t be living it rough. You will be staying at our newly built home with all the modern amenities. We will mainly be needing your help with watering a few house plants, feeding cat and dog, and making sure ducks got their food and water.

Although off-grid, we are not deprived of modern convenience and comforts. We have dishwasher, instantaneous hot water, washer and dryer, TV, two game consoles, and starlink internet. We do rely on our rain water tanks and our creek for water, and our solar system for power. Wood is required for heating during winter.
You can spot all kind of colorful birds and wild animals on our property. Besides the usual wallabies and possums, we often find quolls at night time. Echidnas also like to hang around. Wombats are living along our river. I’ve also heard Tasmania devils in our bush at night. Our river is full of trouts, blackfish, eels and crayfish. With some luck, you can even see a platypus.
We are a multicultural household. Jade is white and Australian, I’m Chinese and from Hong Kong. We have traveled quite a bit and enjoyed meeting with travelers. I used to host couchsurfers when I was living in Hong Kong. It was a very rewarding experience, showing travelers my favorite local spots and food while learning about their cultures and stories. I certainly looking forward to be hosting through workaway.

Algo más...
There are endless places to explore and see in this part of Tasmania. We are very blessed to be living close to some of the most beautiful beaches on earth.
Our favorite, the Waterhouse Conservation Area, is just a 35 minutes drive. Bridport is a seaside town just 30 minutes away. Bay of fire through St Helen is about 1.5 to 2 hr drive (perfect for a day trip or weekend). Tomahawk, Musselroe Bay, Eddystone Point are all breathtakingly beautiful beaches you can get to in a car in bit more than 1 hour.
We are also very close to Derby the mountain biking town with world famous trails. Many mountain bike shops offering shuttle services and rental bikes to beginner to pro-level bikers. I would definitely recommend mountain biking at Derby if you are interested. And the Hub at Derby also make some of the best pizzas in Australia.
Launceston is the city to visit if that’s what you’d like to do on your day off. It’s 1 hour 15 minutes by car. And there is also a bus you can take to go from Scottsdale to Launceston and back. Bridport is also accessible by bus.
Lavender farm is about 25 minutes away. There are also many great vineyards to visit in the area. Clover Hill, Janz and Piper Brooks are some of our favorites.
The closest town to our place is Scottsdale (10 minutes drive from home), which is the service town of NE Tasmania. It’s nothing exciting, but has all the essential services we’d need, eg hospital, government offices, bank, supermarkets, op-shops, parks and cafes etc. You can find a decent coffee in Scottsdale.
If you rather relax around home, we have WIFI in the house you can use. And there are many tracks across our bush and along our river for walks, variety of serene and lovely spots to chill or meditate in nature. Feel free to take our mat, hammock or camp chair, you can read a book or practice yoga on our veranda, in the bush, by our river or ponds. We also have a cupboard full of board games.
