Descripción
A beautiful 5 acre heritage property near Sooke, B.C. This is a new project for me, there is plenty to do and I could use a lot of help! Eventually I would like to get the garden going with permaculture techniques but before that can happen the ground needs some TLC. Also there is plenty of renovation tasks plus the usual day to day cleaning and cooking.

The main house is a big farm house with plenty of room. So far I've had family and friends staying and helping out- my first workawayers, I love sharing this space. It's very tranquil here, set in the forest with a beautiful pasture next door. The beach is a 10 minute walk away where you can surf, standup paddle or just beach comb and watch the seals and sea lions. Sooke is a 10 minute drive away, there are no busses out here but I go to town quite a bit and its easy to get a ride.

Sue stayed with me for 2 weeks and I was sorry to see her go! She has such a positive attitude and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. She was very interested in the area and learning about Canada. Always ready to take on any task and we had some pretty dusty, dirty work that we got done.

I spent two weeks with Sheila in January, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her place. It was my first two weeks in Canada, and they couldn’t have been better. Sheila welcomed me into her cosy cottage, and made me feel at home from the first day.

The work was good, and there was a variety of things to do. Sheila is a power woman, she gets things… read more

Awesome time at Sheila, Jodi (her niece) & Marly's (her funny dog)!!
We enjoyed it so much that we changed our plans to stay as long as we could (2 weeks total).
It's so nice to be around them that they make the work (gardening, shoveling soil, scraping paint, picking blackberries) fun!
The place is really nice, with humming birds at the window… read more
