  Descripción

  We run a very small family-owned and operated vineyard, brewery, cidery, and distillery 2km from Macarthur, Victoria. It's a beautiful place close to Budj Bim National Park, with lots of koalas and native birds.
  There are bike / walking trails at Budj Bim National park, with the Southern Hemisphere's largest wind farm about 30 minutes drive away. We are also about 30 minutes drive away from Hamilton and Port Fairy. The closest beach is only 20 minutes drive away. We're pretty friendly and relaxed; we can speak English, Afrikaans and Dutch fluently, but we don't care how much English you speak. We're not vegetarian (but you're welcome to cook vegetarian meals), we don't smoke, and we have some suffolk sheep, chickens, guinea fowls, emus, alpacas and two dogs on the property.
  
  My wife and I are expats from South Africa and have done a lot of travelling, both within Australia and around the world, and we are always keen to meet new people and exchange culture, knowledge, recipes and conversation.
  
  We also have a busy household with 4 children.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are originally from South Africa and have lived and travelled in a number of countries. We are proud to call ourselves Aussies and would like to share this unique place with you. We are still South Africans by birth and our cooking is hugely influenced by this as well. We are happy to show the in's and out's of wine, beer and gin production and can share a lot of knowledge on plant breeding and new technologies in Agriculture. We are also always keen to meet new people and exchange culture, knowledge, recipes and conversation.

  Ayuda

  We are offering accommodation and food in exchange for 5 hours of help per day. All tasks requested through Workaway will strictly be related to our private household and personal property. The type of help needed will depend on when you arrive, but primarily includes assistance with our children (babysitting), gardening, maintenance of our home and vegetable garden, cooking, and general household tasks. We also expect our guests to help with meal preparation occasionally and to clean up after themselves.
  
  While your tasks won't include any direct work in our winery, brewery & distillery, or vineyard, we would be delighted to share our knowledge and provide insights into our craft during your stay.
