Descripción
My partner and I (Glenda and Rob- sometimes know as ;-) Bob), are well into our 60s and still passionate about our wonderful country.
We really enjoy meeting people from other countries, (we especially love Germany culture!), sharing our lovely corner of the earth with you all, and getting to hear all about your experiences. If you are happy to dig in and help us out, we're happy to help you to a great Aussie experience.
Sorry, we cannot accept smokers at our home due to health reasons.
FALSE BAY, NEAR WHYALLA on EYRE PENINSULA (5 hours from Adelaide BY CAR)
Rob and I are very fortunate to have bought ourselves a beautiful piece of land right on the beach, at False Bay near Whyalla, South Australia. It is quite a secluded spot, on the beach front. You can literally walk out the front door and down onto the beach. If you look at our profile you will see our usual home in Clarendon, AND some quite different photos which are of our False Bay ‘shack’. From now until the end of August, we will be in False Bay, where your accommodation would be in a sweet little caravan.
In False Bay we are visited by Kangaroos and Emus and during June to August we have the Giant Cuttlefish migration on our doorstep.
This is a very basic home but we love it anyway and can really do with some help. As my partner and I are not 'young 'uns' anymore, we really appreciate some help with , and the renovation, and occasionally a little help with household duties. Just remember, this is almost outback Australia, it is on the beach, but also on the edge of desert. It is beautiful BUT REMOTE. You WILL need a vehicle/car to stay here. It is a great sop over for a few days on the way to Perth, or back to Adelaide.
CLARENDON - ADELIADE HILLS HOME
In our Adelaide home - at Clarendon, we enjoy birds, skinks and frequent koala visits, with even the occasional echidna or wombat popping in!
We are about 20 minutes drive from beautiful swimming beaches, 20 minute drive from amazing wineries, and just 30 minutes from the City centre of Adelaide with wonderful galleries, museums, shopping, sporting and arts events.
As my partner and I are not 'young 'uns' anymore, we really appreciate some help in the garden, and occasionally a little help with household duties.
We both still work in employment 5 days per week so coming with a partner or friend will mean you have lots of time after jobs each day to just relax and enjoy your own free time together.
We like to do a solid Saturday of gardening and do fun outings on Sundays. On week days you can do a couple of hours quietly working on projects in the garden, independently visit many wonderful places for yourselves, and join us again in the evening.
Wishing you happy adventures wherever you go!
Kind regards,
Glenda and Rob

Alojamiento
Clarendon; Queen sized bed in a private bedroom for one or two people. Perhaps a single bed in the studio. A child's bedroom. The available accommodation depends on when your visit occurs. If you are coming for a False Bay adventure, we have a quaint caravan for 2 people, or people with their own sleeping vehicle or tent can be accepted.
Algo más...
In False Bay, there is NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT and we are 30 minutes from the nearest town, and approx. 3 kms of dirt roads to our house. You will DEFINITELY need your own vehicle.
In Clarendon, There is no easy public transport to our home, but we are only about 10 minute drive from local shopping and amenities and both Rob and I can collect you and take you into public transport easily from our home. There is a small general store just a five minute walk away from our home. Ideally though, you will have your own car.
Clarendon is a beautiful area and yet is very conveniently located to take advantage of the many beautiful sights and experiences in South Australia.
We live life very relaxed. Both my partner and I both still work, but we prefer to be out in the garden and to live a simple life! We thoroughly enjoy meeting new people.
PLEASE NOTE. Due to our significant dietary RESTRICTIONS and requirements, we would support you to organize your meals FOR YOURSELF. We can take you to the supermarket. You are welcome to use our kitchen, and we have plenty of basics (salt, herbs, spices, flour etc) and sometimes garden produce you can use. Unfortunately WE CANNOT share meals with you.
Our exchange arrangement is 2 hours of work, per person, per day. We are quite relaxed about the arrangement for when you do the hours of work however, and can fit in with other work or plans. :-)
