The Experience

We are landscaping a piece of land in Governors Bay where we want to build our home. We are aiming to be quite self sufficient with permaculture, solar power and rain harvesting. We will be transferring plants from our current section to the new section. Both sections are on the hill so a reasonable level of fitness is necessary. We may also ask you to participate in 'spring cleaning' in and around the house.

Rolls and Lizzie are very kind host. Their place is very cozy to stay, and they'll share many tips with you on what you can do around. Rolls is there to guide you during the work and will help you when necessary. I strongly recommend Worldpackers to stay here.
