Description
A lovely little acreage hoping to transform into an art studio to support those with disabilities. Set in a forest and 5 minutes from the ocean and the lake, the sound of birdsong is magical.

You’d be staying in your own small apartment sized caravan (it’s about the size of my Tokyo apartment when I lived there!). It has everything you could need and so comfortable. A big double bed with soft cushiony underlay. Lots of pillows. Your own cooking space and fridge. Your own shower - but you won't want to use the caravan shower because there is a magical fairy garden shower outside that is just heaven to experience!

I’m looking for help with the gardens. I know a lot about Australian native plants and can teach you about them. I’m also keen on building a geodesic zome if I meet the right person or people who are also excited for such a fun architectural and sculptural project.

There’s always things to do. Organising is a big thing as the creativity runs high here! Would you like to organise a shed? Organise art supplies? Organise something else? We would love that!

What do you like to create? Maybe you’d like to help make a mural? We have some great wall space ready to make art on!

It’s a family home with one child - but it’s also a community with a 28yo, and two couples in their 40's who love art, culture and wellbeing. We have chickens, two dogs, lots of wild colourful birds and incredible lizards. We are dedicated to diversity and inclusion, so ensuring that people from all walks of life, abilities, gender identities, sexualities and political beliefs feel safe and welcome is so important to us.

It feels like a resort in our beautiful paradise. We host art picnics, there’s a pool and a spa, we love music and gardening, the ocean and life.

I’m a qualified school teacher, studying psychotherapy and counselling. I’ve lived in a variety of overseas countries. I’m also a qualified English as a second language teacher (TESOL) so I can genuinely help with your language skills in a natural, easy going way.

Come, be a part of a dream with us.

Hébergement
Luxury Caravan with big double bed plus bunks.
Heated/ air conditioning. Has own fridge, cooking, shower etc but you’ll prefer to use the glorious outdoor fairy garden shower! It’s a whole artwork for you to enjoy.
We have rooms in the house also but we think you would prefer your own personal space.
Autres infos...
Close to everything - shops, supermarkets etc but in a very private piece of glorious bushland.
We are 20 mins from the city of Newcastle and it’s entirely feasible to do Sydney events on the weekend. There’s a lake that is perfect for kayaking and stand up paddle boarding (we have these!)- and a beach for swimming, exploring or surfing - both are 5 minutes away.
We enjoy the birdsong and regularly host events so if the right creative loving people are here then you’ll enjoy that. (Learn to DJ, make art, create fashion etc!)
