A friendly family of four who live in Sydney but often travel to the south coast of NSW. Husband, wife and two teenage kids. Jeff is English. I'm from a farm in rural NSW.
We would love to meet people interested in cultural exchange. Also language exchange for Japanese or Chinese. We speak basic Cantonese, Mandarin & Japanese. We also need help with gardening at our holiday house in Werri Beach Gerringong, 2 hrs south of Sydney.
We stay in the front house . You will be in the Boatshed at the rear. It has a separate entrance so it is private. Main garden is shared, however you have a secluded section of the garden for your own use at the rear.

Location: Werri Beach has stunning rural coastline. The surfing is fabulous as is the fishing and beach. The north end of the beach has a protected lagoon.

You sometimes see dolphins, whales and sometimes even seals.
