Descrição
We are an off-grid, family-run hostel in a peaceful forest on a hill in Tasmania, Australia. We are a friendly large family, and we love welcoming travellers from all backgrounds, religions, and nationalities. We love cooking fresh food from the garden and sharing our table with travellers. We love books, music, travel, history, languages, and meeting people from all over the world.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You will learn about off-grid living with solar power, wood-fueled hot water, rainwater, and composting toilets. You will be surrounded by native forests and our amazing wildlife. We are a culturally mixed family with a lot of traveling experience and we love to introduce people to life on our island state.
We are open about our faith in Jesus Christ. You may ask questions about this while you are here, and we are happy to answer. We are also happy to pray with you. But if you do not want to have spiritual discussions, you are still welcome.

Ajuda
My husband and I and our young family run our hostel. We need help from workawayers mostly with simple outdoor/gardening jobs like path edging, digging garden beds, mulching, and weeding — and with cleaning and guest care tasks at the hostel. If you have more experience, we would love your help with bigger projects, like blazing trails, building a deck, etc.
As long as you enjoy working in nature and getting your hands dirty, you will be happy here.

Between us as a couple, we speak French (Christina), Spanish (Peirce) and Tok Pisin (Peirce), and Peirce is conversational in German. Peirce is also actively studying Italian and Mandarin and would love your help to learn either language! (In fact, as a language lover, Peirce loves to connect with travellers over whatever language they speak — and he has studied little bits and pieces of many languages, including: Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew, Koine Greek, Korean and Portuguese.)

We are only 30 minutes from the capitol city, Hobart, a quaint and artistic city on the waterfront. We are close to several national parks with lots to see and do. We run a shuttle every day to local bus routes. This is a friendly, safe region, with lots of opportunities for farm work and for exploring wilderness areas.

You will not regret having Matt to stay with you. Matt stayed five months with us, first as a volunteer and then as a guest at our hostel. Matt's an awesome human, who worked hard and carefully at all his tasks, including building a tiled patio outside our front door. We miss him already!
We would definitely recommend her as a great help.

First of all, their house and hostel take place in a very amazing area. Close to Hobart, the hill where they live offers a great view to the mountain, beautiful sunsets. On the night we can see the milky way, lots of stars and wild wallabies.

They must have needed big patience with our english but they've been kind and treated us like a part of family.
Children have tried to talked us over and over even though we don't understand very much...sorry about that ( ´_ゝ`)
