Help renovate our home next to Fremantle's amazing beaches!
The experience
Our family of 3 are renovating our new home and preparing the site to move our existing tiny house on site.
This project will suit someone with building, carpentry or other trade skills, or an interest in learning. Pavel is very handy and can teach you skills you may be interested in learning.
Located close to Fremantle WA you'll love the beaches and lifestyle here. It is an easy ride to South Beach and has good public transport access.

We have private rooms in the house and some outdoor glamping.
Would also suit people with their own camper/tent. There are visitor facilities including shower, cooking, laundry etc.
You will need to provide your own food, though we may organise shared meals at times.
We currently live offsite but very close by and will move in after the internal renovations are complete. Pavel is onsite daily.
There currently is no wifi onsite (though excellent mobile data overage)
Activities & Shift
We will mostly need help with renovating our new house and preparing the site to move our existing tiny house to.
In the house we will be removing walls, repairing floorboards, painting and installing a new kitchen. There will also be plenty of digging and paving/concreting, and establishing some gardens (so green thumbs are a plus!). Depending on your skill sets and interests, we're happy to negotiate tasks, hours etc.
Building and other trades skills would be great but not essential - Pavel has a lot of building, woodwork and design skills so this a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning new skills.
There may also be some scope for occasional babysitting (though we prefer longer term stays for this) and general house duties, but initially we will be focused on renovations.
