We are a Zimbabwean family who now have a lovely home in France. Although only a few kilometres from the sea, we live down a very quiet road, a dirt road, deep in the countryside. There are fantastic walks around here, wonderful vinyards, great markets.
Aide
We have 4 hectares of ground but about 1 hectare of garden and meadow + several terraces. These require constant maintenance, ie: clearing leaves, weeding, dead-heading, mowing the lawn etc. Also, we would love some help clearing and cleaning up around the property.

Hébergement
We provide your own private space in a one-bedroomed apartment, with your own shower-room, kitchen and living room. The accommodation is also suitable for a couple and we are quite happy to have a couple here. We generally share a midday meal, but with your own kitchen you could be private in the evenings.
Autres infos...
We live in the bay of St. Tropez, but we are very much in the country. The local villages are lovely to explore, there are great walking areas all around, lots of vinyards, great beaches, and if you have a driving licence we can make a car available from time to time. There is no public transport around here but there are good links between the main towns. We are very laid back, relaxed, sociable, but we do like our own space as well. With your own accommodation, you too could have your own space.

If you're looking for somebody practical, John's your man. He thinks through the problems and comes up with excellent ideas. And he just works and works. He really was great having here. He's also fun and very easy to get on with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a WorkAway.

Sarah, Miles, Seton and Alanah are just beautiful people. They are so polite, easy to work and socialise with that they make you feel part of the family. I enjoyed it so much that I will be trying to get back in early May to help complete the pool area. Thank you very much for being such wonderful hosts 😁👍

We really enjoyed having Christine to stay. She was quiet, helpful and always happy to try any project that came up. She also cooked us some delicious Taiwanese meals, and she is an extremely skillful sketcher. She was a pleasure to have around and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking at her profile.

Howard and Alex are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed having them to stay and really apreciate all the work they did. They attacked our garden with so much energy it was staggering and still managed a 30 km cycle in the afternoons! The lovely thing about them was that they know what they are doing and they would just get on and do it. They are also… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Jonti & Jo) pour l'hôte

This adorable family gave us the most wonderful time. Everyone was very kind, generous and caring towards us. From the start communications were careful and thorough, beginning with a video call, and with good communications throughout. We felt so welcomed, and ended our 4 week stay feeling like neighbours.
Alannah managed our tasks with great… read more sensitivity and kindness. Always making sure that we were ok, and giving us things that were very achievable and suited to our abilities. Huge thanks to Alannah, a great support and manager, making sure that we had tools we needed, and always being on hand if required. We were able to work through our list of jobs at our own pace and schedule. Seton was so helpful in providing tools and being on hand to assist when he was at home.
We helped organise the storage areas, cleared some waste materials, made several trips to the dechetterie to dispose of household and garden waste , helped to start the development of "no-dig" raised "lasagne" beds, sealed a barn wall and then painted it with lime wash, helped to organise tools in the atelier, and clear the potting shed, repotted all the aloe vera's, sanded and oiled some outdoor furniture, collected 2 van-loads of manure from the local equestrian centre and my daughter, who was kindly invited for a weekend stay, painted some new directional signs for the Hamlet. We were also on hand to assist with chats about business ideas, and some online support. We were super happy to be flexible, and Sarah and the family were also very flexible and accommodating with us. That was lovely, and made for a very friendly and informal atmosphere.
I was also encouraged to run a textile arts workshop-which people seemed to enjoy on a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
We self catered for some of the time, and found everything that we needed, in our own kitchen area. At other times we were treated to a lovely meal by Sarah, or we occasionally cooked for the family ourselves, and enjoyed some lovely shared mealtimes. We were able to appreciate privacy and time to explore the area by ourselves. Sarah went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable, and had all the things that we needed. We often came home to lovely gifts from Sarah, of wild asparagus, or an extra box of eggs.
The accommodation was absolutely lovely, in an idyllic peaceful place, which is very much like a retreat from the world, drinking clean spring water, having conversations with the chickens in the mornings, and walking the dogs occasionally in the early evening, if they agreed to accompany us, surrounded by the deep fragrance of honey from the early spring plants.
The valley is simply idyllic, as far from the crazy world as you would wish, being at the end of a country track and yet, if you have a car, or can get a lift, its just a short road trip to St Tropez, which was also surprisingly charming and unspoilt.
This placement is ideal for folks who love peace, nature and the beauty of wild lavender, fennel and mint (which grows in the streams), and working outdoors helping to organise. It was really fun, and a very healthy clean environment.
Sarah and family are the most generous folks that you could hope to meet, and we send all our kindest wishes and thanks to you all, for helping our winter be a warm one!

Wow, where could I even start?! I want to thank this lovely family all the care and love that I received during my 2 months stay. They always made sure that I feel comfortable in their home, I was very sad when our paths departed. All those laughs, the wonderful places they showed me, meeting their friends, the sailings, those many many adventures… read more together, the fascinating stories they told, our movie nights, Miles's jokes and life lessons, and Sarah's wonderful dishes every day were the cherry on top! I can't be thankful enough for all of this.
I could choose from wide variety of tasks every day, tidying up the gardens, cutting, chopping wood or stocking up for cold winter nights, collecting unused objects for giant bonfires, building little structures, painting or cleaning some parts of the houses, help in the shopping trips, finding runaway chickens etc. I've never felt that I need to work off my hours, I was just happy to help them whatever arose, and I felt lucky to do all these in that stunning environment under the mediterranean sky. Meanwhile, I've learned a lot about repairing boats, sailing, gardening and irrigations thanks to Seton, life in Africa and Cote d'Azur and many more things. Did I mention that they also do cooking courses with a professional chef from London? I consider myself lucky that I was able to participate in that too, and could taste those exeptional meals. The two dogs are completely opposite characters, they're so funny and adorable, always ready to entertain and spread the joy. The chickens are lovely, I wish I had spent more time in their company to get to know them better. I really hope that the two newcomers will continue getting along with the "old" ladies, and they will make a great team again.
The accommodation was perfect for my taste, and there were more rooms/apartments that I could choose from. The house I stayed in there are two independent kitchens, a pool table and tv room, or drum sets to "entertain" the great public. Thank you Alannah for the drumming lessons! Huge property and big houses with lot of space for privacy, big gardens and a stunning outside pool area. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, forests and mountains all around, a creek and many walking paths to take yourself and the dogs for a nice walk at the end of the day.
Staying with these beautiful people was my first experience here on Workaway, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you again for everything, I will miss you guys!
