  Description

  🌊 Real Australian coastal life — join our relaxed family in beautiful Bermagui
  
  We're Andy, Hannah and our two kids (11 & 7), living in one of NSW's best-kept secrets: Bermagui — a small, unhurried beach town with great coffee, wild ocean swims, ancient forests and genuine community.
  
  We love meeting people from all walks of life. You'll have your own room, shared bathroom, share meals when it suits everyone, and get a real taste of slow-living on the NSW south coast.
  
  We're well suited to couples, older travellers, and self-sufficient people — Bermagui is small and quiet. If you thrive on city buzz, it might not be your thing. If you love nature, community, and unplugging — you're going to love it here.
  
  What we'll work on together:
  Typical tasks include gardening, weeding, painting, general house maintenance, and odd jobs around the house. Practical skills are a bonus but not required — a good attitude matters more. We share cooking and cleaning up.
  *We've got some projects that would love an experienced carpenter*
  
  We eat a lot of gluten-free as Hannah is coeliac, and are happy to make vegetarian or vegan food!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Both of us travelled extensively before kids — we love swapping stories, sharing experiences and learning from the people we meet. We'd also love to practise our German if you speak it!
  
  In return, we can offer you something genuinely rare: a slice of real Australian coastal life, away from the tourist trail. The beaches and ocean here are among the most beautiful we've seen anywhere in the world — and we've seen a few.
  
  Life here is slower than the city. There aren't huge crowds, but there is real community — regular gatherings around a fire, shared meals, the occasional dance. And plenty of time to just sit on the veranda with a coffee and a good book.
  It's not for everyone. But if it sounds like your kind of thing, you'll love it here.

  Things we're working on:
  
  - House painting
  - Landscaping (new fire pit! 🔥)
  - Weeding & gardening
  - General odd jobs and maintenance
  
  Practical skills like carpentry or building are a bonus — let us know what you've got!
  We also have a special 10-day remote bush camping trip in April that you're welcome to join, if you've got a sleeping bag and a love of being outside and playing with kids aged 7–13. Proper off-grid stuff — river, stars, no facilities.
  We expect 5 hours of work, 5 days a week. The rest of the time is yours — we love ocean swims, sauna sessions and long coffee chats if you're keen.
