Description
🌿Workaway (ideally 25+ with own car) 🌿
We’re currently looking for reliable, independent Workawayers to join us in our relaxed beachside home in Terrigal. This placement is especially well suited to people with practical carpentry / DIY skills and/or creative skills (such as sewing, painting, crafting, or photography/videography), who are comfortable walking our 5-year-old Groodle, Pipo, as well as helping with everyday tasks such as cooking, light garden maintenance, and housekeeping.
The help we need is around 4-5 hours per day (Monday to Friday) in exchange for accommodation and a weekly allowance for you to cook. We will share some lunches together but for the most part you will have your own private space with separate entrance. You will have a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and direct access to the garden.
Because we live on a steep hill and public transport is limited, we generally prefer guests who have their own transport for getting around and running errands — however, we’re still open to discussing options if you don’t have a car 😊
***************************************
We’re Anja (German/Spanish), Alberto (Italian), and our 5-year-old Groodle, Pipo. Our home has a warm, friendly and creative atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed hosting many wonderful Workawayers and love meeting people from all over the world.
Terrigal is a beautiful coastal town on the NSW Central Coast, just a 2min drive or a 15–20 minute walk from the beach and village.
If you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, enjoy dogs, and are happy to lend a hand with daily tasks, we’d love to hear from you!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We’re Anja & Alberto — a friendly, easy-going couple who genuinely enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and creating a warm, welcoming home environment 😊
I (Anja) have a German/Spanish background and have been living in Australia for around 15 years (with a couple of years in Lugano, Switzerland in between). I speak German, English, Spanish and Italian — and I’m always happy to practice with you if you’d like!
I love dancing salsa and bachata and take classes several times a week — you’re very welcome to join me at dance events if that’s something you’d enjoy. I also love Pilates and have a reformer at home, which you’re more than welcome to use.
I’m Alberto, originally from Italy, and I’ve been living in Australia for about 17 years. I work in cybersecurity and spend a few days a week in Sydney. I enjoy staying active, especially playing padel, and would be happy to take you along for a game.
We’re both quite relaxed and flexible, and we like to keep things easy and natural at home — sharing meals, conversations, or simply giving each other space when needed.
Aide
The help we need includes:
• Walking our dog, Pipo, for about an hour a day (you will need to be comfortable to let him off-leash in a park and take him to the beach)
• General garden maintenance – mowing, weeding, mulching, planting
• Housekeeping and general upkeep of the home and outdoor areas
• Occasional small DIY tasks or painting tasks as needed
If you have particular skills, we’d love to hear about them - for example, experience in carpentry (we may look at building a small front deck), or creative skills such as sewing, painting, or other craft projects.

Would love to learn other languages and to improve our beginner's French :-)
Hébergement
You’ll have your own private space at the back of the house, which includes a comfortable bedroom, bathroom, and access to the garden. The laundry is located in your bathroom, so we’ll need to share that space from time to time.

Anja and Alberto were very warm and welcoming, and I was truly happy to be there.
Their dog, Pipo, was always hungry and would adorably beg for food whenever I was eating.
The nearby beach had a beautiful view and a refreshing breeze.
I wish both of them all the best in the future.
