  Descrição

  We are about 3 hours hours drive south of Sydney . 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 both have work-from-home day jobs ( Marketing / Tech & an Ai startup) 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 a real sense of the vibe on our farm and how we operate , i think our former volunteers cover that well in their reviews from a range of different perspectives, from folks who have just left school on gap year to professionals and skilled trades people in their 30s. You can red them in full or scroll down to read extracts of feedback from our workawayers on the areas of: hosts & welcome / location & exploration: / accommodation / food & meal times / Work
  
  
  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. We are ideally ooking for people who have practical skills especially Arborists, DIY, carpentry, building skill or are keen to learn new skills, our workawayers 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 a second car that we are happy for our workawayers 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 second car.
  
  
  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.
