Program Details

We have loads of fun with our helpers and have hosted more than 400 people over the years.

We look forward to hosting our next helpers.

Activities & Shift

We ask 4 hours for every night slept. We provide comfortable accommodation and food. We may ask our helpers to cook the evening meal which we share together as we both work and are not usually available during the day.

We are very flexible with how the hours are worked and usually leave it up to our helpers to manage their time, We do, however, prefer that helpers do not work on Sundays, but make this time up on other days.

We need assistance with laying paving. This requires someone skilled in this type of work and able to work without supervision.

Rules

No smoking inside.
No drug use.
Keep bedroom and common areas clean.
We reserve the right to terminate a stay if necessary (we have only needed to do this 3 times in the past).
