    Descrição

    We have a small 8-acre hobby farm near the beach, on a ridge overlooking the sea with alpacas, goats, geese, chickens and peacocks. We have work-from-home day jobs so we could use some extra help around the place; gardening, maintenance and creative DIY building / renovation projects. You would be living in a 3 bedroom wing of the farmhouse with all food & drink provided and we are keen cooks and eating well is an important part of life on our farm, sadly we can't accomodate vegans , dairy or gluten intolerant folks.

    For workawayers we have available 1 double bed room and , 1 bunk bed room (2 people), so we can accommodate 4 people max at one time but our preference in 2025 is for 2 at a time ideally couples or 2 friends travelling together but we have also accommodated single people travelling on their own . We are looking for people who have practical skills especially DIY, carpentry or building skill or are keen to learn new skills, our workawayer work hard but live well, our food is high quality, we have a well-stocked fridge (free beers, cokes & wine) and your accommodation is pretty nice.

    There is the possibility of some additional paid casual work from our neighbours, however this is infrequent and usually quite physical in nature, if finding paid work is important to you this area is not ideal as it is quiet with few jobs available.

    We're late fifties We have two grown-up kids overseas who appear very occasionally and a daughter at Uni who occasionally comes home for weekends. We're 10 minutes from Bawley Point and its many beaches, and 20 minutes to Ulladulla and 30 to Batemans Bay, both small thriving towns. The highway is 2km down the hill where there is a service station and bus stop with regular service to town. We have two cars that we are happy for our work-awayers to use once we are comfortable that you will drive responsibly, so far all but one of our work-away folks have been able to borrow our two cars.

    If you want to speak with some of our past workwayers to hear first-hand from them what life at the Farm is like we can connect you with them.

    Information we need from you... if you are contacting us from a shared or friends profile, we NEED information on ALL the folks wanting to come and stay with us so we can figure our if they are a good fit for our farm.

    If you have constyruction, carpentry or rekated skills we would particularly love to hear from you as these are current priority needs, but we always love hearing from folks with a can do attitude regardless of skills

    We are both English but have been here for 20 years. We are progressive, easy going and imaginative - wanting to make our farm a place of beauty, creativity, comfort and fun. We have a piano and guitar that anyone is more than welcome to play. We have an amazing array of wildlife on the property and enjoy the many native birds that visit us. We love making the most of local produce, we're into food and enjoy sharing and learning from different food cultures!

For surfers, you are spoilt for choice up and down the coast, and the bus at the bottom of the hill makes for easy access to the local towns, Mollymook, Milton, Ulladulla and Batemans Bay.
