  Description

  Our lovely rural property is the home to three horses, dogs, a few sheep, and Alpacas We are perched on the top of a hill and have uninterrupted mountain views, clean air and very comfortable home, and just 1 hour from Melbourne.
  
  My husband and I are now empty nesters and the property is a lot to maintain. We have been fortunate enough to have travelled to 37 countries, lived overseas, and ran our own business. We have previously hosted Woofers (WillingbWorkers
  On Organic Farms)- (similar to Workaway) from all over the world, many who we are still in contact with and have been to visit in their country. We value the friendships that have been forged and the enrichment that each has bought to our lives.
  
  We are foodies and love cooking up yummy food when time permits. We have a quiet but busy life and would love some help with the garden and domestic chores, and help with renovating a house. We always try to host at least two people at a time so that there is always company and a little community develops.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We welcome you in to be part of our family. We love learning about your family and country. It’s hard to say what social activities will present, but We’d offer for you to join us to visit/host family and friends just like you are family, but of course the choice is yours. Externally there is not much happening socially as we are in a rural area, but we are only an hour from Melbourne by train and happy to drop you at the station and pick you up.
  
  Just by spending time together with us you’d learn of our travel adventures and exchange skills and talents and learn from each other.

  We have large executive style home. With large living area and wood fire. If you are our only Workawayer, you’d be offered a private room is a private room in this house, share our living spaces and kitchen. Meals and food prep would be shared.
  
  However we have just taken possession of a lovely country house with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms with cottages on it, which we are about to renovate. If we have more than one Workawayer, this house or one of the cottages would be available. This property is only 300m from our family home.

  Autres infos...

  We’d ideally prefer a couple or twomor 3 friends or family with their own transport, which gives them the option to explore our wider region, which has many natural attractions and towns. There are limited transport options without your own car, however we are happy to take volunteers to the station and pick up, so that time off can be spent in Melbourne if desired.
