Bawley Ridge Farm - NSW South Coast

Learn new skills on an 8-acre hobby farm near awesome beaches. Work is interested and varied. Eating well is important to us and you get 3 meals + free wine & beer. We have three private rooms (1 twin & 2double) for backpackers. We have a second cars that backpackers can use to explore (as long a you are responsible drivers). we have a piano and guitars if you want to play. Our back backers often stay longer than planned as they love it here. We are experienced hosts but new to worldpackers and can share our reviews from the other platform. If you search on google maps for 'Bawley Ridge farm' you will see more photos and our google reviews.

If you have housekeeping DIY or carpentry skills we would particularly love to hear from you as these are current priority needs, but we always love hearing from folks with a can do attitude regardless of skills.

FYI our postcode 2539 qualifies for the 88 days bushfire recovery volunteering towards a second Working Holiday visa

We're late fifties, relaxed & progressive. We have two grown-up kids overseas who appear very occasionally and a daughter at Uni who occasionally comes home for weekends. .We both have day jobs working remotely on tech startups so really need help with the smooth running of the farm. Typically we have 3-4 backpackers staying , couples and solo travellers so look for folks that can get on with others If you want to speak with some of our past backpacker to hear first-hand from them what we are like and what life at the Farm is like we can connect you with them.

I really enjoyed my stay at Bawley ridge farm. Bill and Cam were lovely and welcoming hosts. All the tasks were explained very well, and they ask what everyones comfortable with. Plenty of free time. The area around the farm was lovely and easy to access with a car, wonderful hikes and beaches. Also got to see a lot of farm animals and wildlife here. It was awesome to meet other volunteers from different cultures. Food was great here, and company even better. I would definitely recommend this place, and I would go again!

We had the best time at Bawley Ridge Farm. Bill & Cam are one of the loveliest people we met while travelling Australia.
Both have a big Knowledge and its so interesting to listen to their Storys.
We did gardening, cleaning and repaired small engines. It was perfect to further improve our skills.
What I particularly liked was that I could work independently and thus also contribute my own ideas.
If you also want to volunteer at Bawley Ridge Farm, you should have your own initiative and be practically committed.
Thank you Cam, Bill (and Zach!)

Camilla and Bill are very friendly and responsible people. The work is sometimes exhausting, but there are lots of opportunities to improve your own skills and to learn new things, such as how to use a chainsaw or how to look after animals.
All meals and drinks are also provided, so you don't have to pay for anything during your stay.
They also have an old car that volunteers can use to drive to the beach.
All in all, I couldn't have imagined my stay any better. Thank you, I will be Back!

This was an outstanding, absolutely 10/10 experience. Bill was an amazing host and I got to meet other truly amazing travelers while staying with him! The tasks can very day to day, just be open and honest about what you feel comfortable with when it comes to tasks. My room was private and clean, with a shared bathroom and shower. Having access to the kitchen and sharing meals was a big highlight for me.
Bill was very welcoming and shared great tips for where to go and what to do on days off.
I highly recommend this work exchange and wish I could have stayed longer!!
