Description
We live on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. A 15min drive from beaches, in a lovely valley, surrounded by wildlife.
General duties could include housework, gardening and lawn maintenance, clearing weeds, cooking, painting, helping me with my small design and photography business, and other odd chores. We have chickens for free-range eggs and are building a veggie patch. Geoff is a casual teacher and is studying Sustainability and Bush Regeneration and is interested in Permaculture. Ali runs a Photography and Design business from home. Our home is in the process of different stages of renovation so we always need some building work too. We have two lovable, affectionate dogs who also need occasional hugs.
Guests will sleep in our caravan. We provide linen and towels and all meals. We encourage you to feel at home so you are welcome to relax in our home too :)
Guests work from 9am till lunch, have the afternoon off and then help for around an hour with cooking/clearing up at night. However this is flexible :) and may vary on different days.
We can accommodate singles and couples and can pick up from our local station, Ourimbah.
We love meeting people from other countries and sharing experiences.

We live in a natural bushland setting surrounded by local birds and animals. Locally we have many beautiful bush walks and a Reptile park (mini Australian animal zoo).
You will interact and eat with our family (and the people who come and go here) and see how a pretty typical Aussie family lives :) At the moment we only have 1 son living at home - with the other 2 popping in at times.

Hébergement
Guests will stay in our caravan that we are doing up. It's a little rustic, but has a comfy mattress. You will have access to our second bathroom in our home and also our kitchen. You will eat up in the house or on our back deck with us. So the caravan is mainly just for sleeping. Many backpackers have said how much they enjoyed camping on our land, waking to the sound of all the amazing birdlife we have :)
If the caravan is not available we may have a room in our home.
Autres infos...
We live in a beautiful area of Australia, the Central Coast. With beautiful beaches 15 mins drive away,
and state forests and bays close by. We live in a quiet area, with some lovely native birdlife around. We are close to 2 major cities. Both Sydney and Newcastle are an hour's drive away. We are on the train line for easy access. Its a 20 minute walk to the train station if you don't have a car. We can also drop you there :) We have a university close by that is a good place to study. You can access the Library, cafe's etc.
The Australian Reptile Park has an abundance of native Australian animals that guests love to see.

We were lucky to live with this family for a couple of weeks. They were very busy by that time, but they were still nice even when they arrived home very tired. They always had a smile and they were all very easy-going. Ali and Geoff treated us really well and they were great with our son too. They’re football fanatics, so I felt like I was in… read more

It's already a while ago, that I stayed with this family. But I really enjoyed my stay. They are a very friendly and nice family.
I stayed together with a swiss girl and we had a great time. We've been able to take the car for trips in our free time.
The work was also good, many different things to do.

Hi Ali, Geoff and Toby (the world-champion in handball !). Thanks so much for the warm welcome to your home. Unfortunately it was way too short, because it's still a lot to do and way more to talk about ! It was good, to do some good old physical work, after the 8 weeks of being a bit lazy while sailing. Let's see, if i have the opportunity, to… read more

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review! The time I spend in Ourimbah was truly wonderful! The Browns are a loving family, who take time to get to know you and make you feel part of the family. It makes the hours working more fun than actually working! If it is important for you: they also have a splendid taste of music ;) if this… read more

I can't believe that nobody wrote something here for you! The stay with Alison and Geoff and their family was terrific :)
The area in Fountaindale is beautiful and there are a few lovely beaches to go to swim. You can improve you knowledge of caring about chickens by Geoff or you might have the chance to be a part of a photoshoot taken by Alison… read more
