This is an exchange position and would suit either a single traveller or couple who are comfortable with rural living and happy spending time on a quiet country property.

✅ Double bedroom
✅ Private bathroom
✅ Access to the household kitchen
✅ Access to lounge facilities

Travellers with their own caravan or self-contained setup are also very welcome.

The location

The property offers:

🌄 Beautiful mountain views
🌿 Peace and privacy
🐄 Genuine rural surroundings
🚙 Access via a well-maintained dirt road

This is a quiet rural setting, so applicants should be comfortable being on the property without the owners present and working independently when needed.

This opportunity would suit someone who:

✅ Genuinely enjoys animals
✅ Is reliable and trustworthy
✅ Is confident in a rural environment
✅ Is comfortable around dogs, sheep, goats and other farm animals
