Hello!
Last-minute inquiries are welcome for first half of Feb.. we have some cleaning or weeding, whipper snipping if that appeals.
We enjoy the experience of having international and Australian guests in our homes, sharing their gifts and energy.
Sometimes, it can be just one person staying or a group of people staying.
This unique property is 115 acres, with breathtaking mountain and valley vista views and direct access to the Orara National Forest. We also have a beach house that we sometimes work on. It is a 27-minute drive from the property. Coffs town is about a 20-minute drive.
The pool at the farm house currently has a leak, however we are a 5 min drive from a fresh water river which is super refreshing.
We can do 5 hrs a day exchange, with Sat & Sun off. Flexible if you want to change it up.
Please contact us if you are interested in a stay/exchange.
All the best,
Arnie & Lorraine

Fabienne is a wonderful cook, and at times took tender and playful care of my baby. We enjoyed learning some more about the Caribbean. A beautiful couple and… read more

I felt sad when Anna left! That;s how much we loved having her help us.
Not only was she a hard worker, she was a delight to have in our home. Thoughtful, kind and very self-aware.
We wish her the best in her travels and would welcome her back into our home anytime!!!
Thanks Anna xx

Charlotte was great help and great company to have in our home for the five nights she was here. Our previous helper got caught out with a broken van and asked to stay in the same bedroom as Charlotte for an extra two nights, to which Charlotte kindly and generously agreed to. Our baby warmed to Charlotte immediately and she looked after him well.… read more

Staying in Paddington at Arnie and Lorraine's place was awesome!
When arriving at the airport Lorraine gave me a call and gave us directions to get to their place.
Paddington is close to the city centre and therefore awesome to stay at when you want to check out Sydney.

Fantastic help, highly recommend! Clare minded our house for us while we were away, and took care of our two guests. While she was here she did a number of jobs which included gardening, cleaning and cooking.
Clare was very trustworthy and capable, and we would be happy to have her stay again.
