Descripción
Hi!
Thank you for checking out our profile.
We are Ron and Paul, a gay male couple.
We live and work on the unceded territories of the Quw'utsun people, known colonially as Cowichan Valley, on Southern Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada.
In 2021 we moved onto this 2 acre property to make a home and small retreat center.
After 5 years of caring for this land we have decided it is time to move.
We have a few times in our upcoming schedule when we would welcome a Workaway to help us with maintaining the land as well as packing up and organizing ourselves for departure, in exchange for a safe comfortable place to pause in your travels, and enjoy Vancouver Island.
Our next available time to host a Workaway is August 1-15.
Projects could include garden pond cleaning and maintenance, indoor painting, repurposing old fencing to create a neighbor / privacy screen. Other general projects include gardening, raspberry picking (July) eradicating invasive species and encourage indigenous plants in the forested areas as well as general ongoing home maintenance .
Our location is rural and quiet, yet close enough to local amenities to not feel isolated. We are a 45 minute drive south to Victoria, BC. or 15 minutes north to Duncan.
We are interested in stays of 7days to start with options to extend if circumstances feel favorable for all.
Due to available accommodations, our preference is to host solo travelers. -

Alojamiento
We have several out buildings, one of which contains a work/storgae room as well as a 10' x10' bedroom, with queen bed, heated and cozy, with windows into the forest, this would be your private space, with easy access to your own compact fridge, running water, and WiFi. You would share bathroom in the main house.
We can discuss meals and sharing food/time together. -
Algo más...
Excellent access to Vancouver Island’s wine country, beaches, rivers, and parks. Located on the Pacific Marine Circle Route, a scenic drive linking Cobble Hill – Victoria – Port Renfrew – Lake Cowichan. The drive can be done easily in a day, or you can choose to turn it into a multi day trip, taking in the diverse scenery. Public transport is limited, the area is good for biking. There is space on site to park your car or RV and we have a charging station for electric vehicles.
