Program Details

We invite you to stay in our home in exchange for helping out around the house and garden. We can pick up and drop off from the nearest train station (Narangba) if required. There are a couple of bicycles available for use here. You will be in charge of your own meals. We will provide fridge space, a kitchen and condiments, herbs etc.


Activities & Shift

We are looking for 12 hours of work per person per week. This does not include cleaning up after yourselves. You can choose to do this spread over 2 days or 4. If you are able to provide French lessons, that would be great. We will ask you to fill out a calendar so we know what day - morning or arvo you are working.


Rules

No smoking anywhere on the premises. No extra guests. Leave the room as you found it, cleaned and ready for the next guest.
