Hey there ✌️
☀️ We are seeking a 1 week exchange, with the potential to extend if we find our energies align. We need help with gardening projects, specifically weeding, pruning and generally tidying up the garden and around the home.
In exchange we have a large, 2 bedroom space upstairs you can use to rest and restore, plenty of food in the fridge and pantry to share (not all meals are catered, we expect that cooking will be shared between all adults in the house).
We ask for approx 15-20 hours help per week in the garden and around the home.
In your off time perhaps we can hit the local beaches together for a surf or just to sight see.
If you have a current driver's licence and international driving permit you may be able to borrow one of our vehicles to do broader sightseeing s in the magnificent ottway rainforest and/or the great Ocean road.
We are looking for an experienced work away with previous experience in gardening, cleaning. Experience working with children is a plus .
About us:
We are a family of 4 living on the surf coast Victoria, 30 mins north west of Torquay.
We operate mobile crepe and coffee food vans on the weekends and live a homesteading lifestyle raising chickens, tending to vegetable patches, splitting wood and the occasional bigger building project as it arises.
We have 2 children aged 10 yrs and 6 yrs. You may spend some time with the children here and there if that is something that feels natural for you. We often go on bike rides or kicking the soccer ball around. Working with childrens check would be preferred.
We have a border collie dog and a 2
cat who also share our space, so a love of animals is definitely preferred and the home is probably not suitable for anyone with allergies to animals.
You would also have full use of our range of surf boards and surf gear. We live 30 mins drive away from excellent beginner-intermediate surf breaks on the Great Ocean Rd, a very popular tourist destination and great spot to launch into further travel.
We are very easy going and relaxed family, looking for mature, professional, tidy, friendly person/persons to join us :)
