Hello 😊
We are Mel & Peter.
Join us on the mid north coast of NSW near Port Macquarie where we look after 2 beautiful properties.
We can offer a comfortable bedroom in the main house, sometimes we enjoy breakfast at the beach, lots of kangaroos and native Australian birds to see while helping us around the house and on our cattle farm.
We live 15 minutes drive from the beach and at times we stay 30 minutes up the valley on the other property in the countryside.
We prefer a 2 week minimum stay.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We love to share our country NSW lifestyle:
Sunrise coffee and breakfast at the beach
Relax in the hot tub in winter
Yoga by the beach in summer
Learn animal husbandry
Learn basic farm duties
Experience native wildlife including kangaroos, kookaburras, Rosellas and cockatoos.
We enjoy sitting around the dinner table to share our meals and talk about what is going on here in Australia as well as discussing many things from around the world. We believe we can all learn from each other.
We provide food and accommodation in exchange for help.
Our past helpers have also had time for a surf lesson at the local beach, visit the koala hospital, and enjoy the coastal walks.
Ayuda
General help on the farms, including weed spraying, fixing fences. You do not need special skills, we can teach what you need to know.

We arrived on a Thursday. We worked Friday at their farm, then Saturday and Sunday at the other farm in Byabarra, 40min away. The following week, we had Monday, Thursday and Sunday off. We often slept in a roof tent in Byabarra, it was fun!
