Description
Come and join us in the beautiful Blue Mountains, Australia, where you can experience all that is to offer in this World Heritage region while lending a helping hand to our family.
We are a busy family living on nearly half an acre in the mid-Mountains township of Hazelbrook, which is 15-20 minutes from Katoomba, a major tourism centre. We are within walking distance to the train station where you can access many beautiful sights across this region. You can also easily access the City of Sydney as well as other regional centres by train.
There are several bush walks nearby and you can access views and waterfalls just a short walk from our house.
We are happy to host non-smokers who are willing to help with a number of specific projects as well as garden maintenance and general house duties.
Couples or singles are welcome as our accommodation and needs suit both. You will have access to the kitchen as well as your own shower and toilet. We are also keen (amateur) musicians and we have a number of instruments you are welcome to play. Learning languages is also a passion of some of us and we would welcome the opportunity to extend our skills while assisting you in furthering your English skills.

Rory and Charlotte are an amazing couple to host. They are energetic, intelligent, humorous and hard working. They were not in the least bit perturbed by the bushfires and smoke around us and cheerfully & efficiently lent a hand to jobs that were required.

It was fantastic staying with Eleanor. She made me feel very welcome and like at home from the very beginning and even took me to my very first (fancy) Aussie barbie, so I really felt like part of the family. The place is beautiful and peaceful in a calm neighborhood and the ideal starting point for various bushwalks through the Blue Mountains.… read more

It was great having Nao stay with us; she accomplished quite a lot of jobs in the three weeks she stayed. Nao is a quiet, respectful workawayer who fitted into our household well. She even managed to fit in some bushwalking around the changeable weather & smoke from bush fires. We wish her well on her return to Japan.
