Gardening In Exchange For Accommodation
Kingbilli Taggerty, Victoria
Job Description
For over 20 years, we have hosted backpackers happy for a chance to take a break from travelling and catch their breath for a few months. Most of the work involves gardening, including raking, digging, mulching, weeding, planting and pruning. There is some housekeeping, cleaning the main Homestead and our guest cottage; and there are a few maintenance tasks like collecting firewood, clearing gutters, mending sheds or filling pot-holes in the driveway.
In exchange, our helpers live rent-free in their very own, private bluestone cottage; with a full-sized kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and separate living/dining room with wood fire, TV and free Wi-Fi; and a lovely big verandah.
Electricity, gas and water are all supplied, as well as linen, towels, crockery, cutlery and cookware.
As we only ask for 2 days’ work per week, our helpers have plenty of time to relax, study, seek casual work in the local area (in hospitality, fruit-picking, tending vineyards etc.) ... and enjoy the property as we do.
In rural Australia, life is definitely what you make it. At Kingbilli, our daily existence is active yet simple; busy but peaceful; and secluded enough to allow for introspection whilst being filled with enough curious furred and feathered friends so there is no risk of feeling alone!
(Please note, is essential you have your own vehicle, even if it's only an e-bike, as there is no public transport near us).
LOOKING FOR HELPERS FROM OCTOBER 2024 !
