Home Maintenance & Gardening. Help Exchange

Flanagan Buninyong, Ballarat

Job Description

Help Needed on Our Beautiful Farm in Buninyong!
Hello! We’re a couple living on a peaceful 10-acre farm in Buninyong, near Ballarat, about 1.5 hours west of Melbourne in stunning central Victoria. We’re looking for friendly, motivated individuals or couples to join us for general gardening and light maintenance around our home and property.
What We’re Offering: In exchange for about 4.5 hours of work, 5 days a week, you’ll enjoy a cozy room in our spacious farmhouse, delicious home-cooked meals (or feel free to cook for yourself if you prefer), and access to WiFi. You’ll also have full use of our electric bike, perfect for exploring the area’s beautiful walking trails, wildlife, and the nearby town of Ballarat.
About Us: We’re Julian and Simone both in our early 60s, and we’ve turned this lovely farm into our home now that our kids have grown. We share our space with two friendly dogs, a cat, and a small herd of cows. We love welcoming people into our lives and would be delighted to introduce you to this special corner of Victoria.
About the Area: Buninyong and Ballarat offer a charming mix of natural beauty and local culture. You’ll be close to local shops, and just a short drive from Daylesford’s renowned spas and wineries. Melbourne is also just a train ride away, and we’re happy to help with transportation to the station if needed.
Who We’re Looking For: If you have a good understanding of English and can commit to staying at least a week, we’d love to hear from you! (Longer stays are great too, if all goes well.) We only ask for responsible alcohol use and no smoking inside.
We’re excited to share this chapter of our lives and this beautiful region with you!
