Penny is Tasmanian and loves exploring her native state , so we are happy to roam the coast, rivers and bush with you. We visit the beach frequently because we and our dogs adore it.
Steve would love to tell you about turbines and Charles Algernon Parsons.
Ayuda
As most of farm work is physical we may not be appropriate for people who have no experience of physical work. We might ask you to stack wood, paint fences, or weed and plant the garden. If you have particular skills, such as building or cooking, then we would like to utilise them.
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Alojamiento
We have a lovely century old wooden farm house, with three spare bedrooms, in which you would share our living areas. There is a separate bathroom for Workaways. Should you be allergic to dogs we can only advise that the air is thick with the hair of spaniels.
Algo más...
We are about 75 minutes drive from Cradle Mountain.
Ulverstone and adjacent beaches are 20 minutes drive north and Leven Canyon is a similar distance south west.
Locally, within 5 km, is Wings Wildlife Park, Gunns Plains Caves, Preston Falls and the northern end of the canyon.
We have a private 1.5 km stretch of the River Leven which has brown and rainbow trout.
There are also platypus in the farm dam.
If you love reading, we have a large library and plenty of great curling up spots.
There is no public transport but we have 2 cars and frequently go exploring. If you have a drivers license and we feel you are responsible we can lend a car.
To avoid any distress with animal lovers it should be noted that since our retirement the farm is leased for livestock production.
Currently it is stocked with dairy cattle but at times cattle used for beef production may also be on the farm so we may not be a suitable host if you feel raising cattle for human consumption is immoral.

Naoki was a wonderful Workawayer. He taught me new dishes, attacked our black berries with unrelenting zeal, was punctual, polite, tidy, helpful in the kitchen, and got on well with all the other Workawayers. Our car was completely safe in his hands. H is a skilled fly-fisherman and caught many trout which he released back in the river.

We love Steve & Penny's farm! in this case we could not meet the beautiful Penny in person, but we lived together with Steve, and it was wonderful. He is very nice, cares about us being well and about traveling around his farm. We borrowed the car and explored a lot. We really enjoyed this WA. One of the most beautiful days was when we went to the… read more

Steve is a very good hearted person. He received us very warmly at the airport and was always very friendly to both of us. His stories are very exciting and also funny. He gives you a helping hand in any case. We enjoyed the time very much. The food was always good and a high variety. The house and the surrounding were beautiful and the dogs very… read more

It was an absolute pleasure to have Stephane and Nelly staying with us (Although there should be a government health warning about the food they cook - My waist line will never be the same again after the fantastic breads and delicious desserts!!! - I don't think we will ever see food like this again in Gunns Plains - Fantastic!!!!!)

They have a great sense of humour and a very good work ethic - Only sorry that all we could give them was firewood!!!
We wish them well for the rest of their time in Australia

Steve was the best host we had so fare. He was friendly and there was always a lot of delicious food. Unfortunately we had to leave the dogs at Steve's ;)
Sadly we couldn't met Penny.
We wish you am the best with your farm.
We can recommend this host.

Steve and Penny are lovely couple and have three great dogs. They showed a lot of surround, as Ulverstone, local nature spots.. Everyday trying to see platypus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Steve. We loved helping, his farm and the location. After each day, we would make dinner and then talk long into the night, sharing stories and learning about firefighting, forestry, and many of Steve's other passions. His 3 lovely spaniels were a joy as well.
