In addition, I recently listed a self-contained one bedroom flat on AirBnB so help managing the listing, including photos, pricing etc and changeover of bedding and cleaning would be helpful. I could also do with help editing my website and managing ot...

***GREAT OPPORTUNITY THIS WEEK: Next week we have a Volunteer Week available for all to enjoy spending time at the homestead. Starting Wednesday 11th December and going through to Wednesday the 18th. You are welcome to book in for all of the week, part of the week, or even drop-in work exchange day visits. You will have your own private bedroom and a shared guest-bathroom.
