The Ruins

Peaceful and quiet in a beautiful bushland setting only 3kms from a small seaside village in a popular tourism region.
Lots of paid work available in local area.

Not applicable . Volunteers stay with us and help out around our 4ha rural residential property. I run my carpentry business out of my home workshop and occasionally need some help with this.

My time down south with Jeff and Billie was awesome, they were great hosts and I am thankful to them for having me. Tasks were mainly outdoor landscaping/garden maintenance, as well as helping with cooking dinner and dishes. Jeff has a stunning property, Dunsborough is a gem and I'll definitely be back for a visit!

We enjoyed having Hayley stay with us. She was very helpful and responsive to all the tasks I gave her. Hayley fitted into home life very easily and was a pleasure to have around. We are grateful for her help and hope she does come and visit or stay over.

Jeff and Billie are wonderful hosts. If you visit during the summer, chances are you’ll get to go to the local beaches. I helped with half cleaning half cooking. Cleaning was mainly deep cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, or the car. I even got to sand and oil some wood. Cooking was for 1-2 hours making banana bread, focaccia, hummus and dinners. Jeff has a kind and forgiving heart but is particular about certain aspects so make sure to ask what the standard is of the task so you can meet expectations.
