Description
Hi There! We live in a beautiful 3 bedroom house in the central west. We are currently looking for some help on our property . Accommodation will be provided in exchange for gardening around the property and some cleaning/maintenance around the house. The accommodation provided will be clean, warm and safe. We love meeting new people, and sharing our experiences. Peter was born in Australia so he definitely has a lot to share regarding the history and culture of this beautiful country. I was born in Canada, however I’ve been living here for the past 13 years, so pretty much an Aussie:) Our aim is to have as much interaction with each other so we can learn from each other’s cultures and hopefully make you love Australia just as much as we do!

Ellen was a pleasure to host. We had a whole crew of people when she was here and they all had a great time. She helped us in the gardens for her workaway hours. We would happily recommend Ellen to other workaway hosts

Peter & Mel’s place is truly stunning! The property’s garden is huge and full of wildlife (So many different birds.. a couple of ticks and leaches too ;) ). The work is hard (cutting down trees / uprooting fairly large lilly plants) but I found it quite enjoyable being outdoors all the time. Most days we finished work at 12 or 1, and after lunch… read more

Peter and Mel were great hosts for our first workaway experience! They were really welcoming and they have such a beautiful home. The work itself was quite physical at times but a really fair exchange - just 5 hours in the morning (two days off a week) with the rest of the day to chill or go exploring the area around.

We´ve stayed with Mel and Peter for nearly three weeks and it was an amazing experience. They let us feel very welcome. As well the helping hours are really good with just 4-5 hours per day so we could decide what to do the rest of the day. Mel and Peter also went with us to really nice beaches and to the cinema.
