The Experience

We have 3 properties that need attention in the spring and summer. You and a friend can share a private bedroom or spread out in another room on fold out couch. Kids get up at 7 and need lunches made for departing at 8:30am Both adults work from home and can show you around town. After 3 start to prepare early dinner for 5:30pm and kids to bed by 7pm if you're into board games and video gaming then we'll get along great!

After staying with Taz and Sarah and their lovely kids, I had a hart filled with great memories in Victoria. It's a beautiful city with always something going on and to explore the city on the bikes is amazing! The work that we did was great as well, from gardening to painting and some maintenance, we learned a lot and mostly had a lot of fun. I miss everyone there and hope to come back one day, I can definitely recommend this stay to anyone who loves being around people and exploring the city!
