About us:
We have a good sense of humour. There is never a dull moment. We are non-smokers. All of our students are special to us. We have been hosting students for one year. We have just returned from 2 weeks in Japan and have experienced the culture. We want to teach our guests about the Australian way of life whilst they enjoy a farming environment. We have become good friends with our students and their families. We are a fun loving and talkative couple. We have no children or other adults in our home. Our home is quiet which will allow you to sleep and study when you need to.
The home: Our home is new, large, spacious and clean with all new furniture – approximately 40 squares of living.
We also have 2 wood fire places, a separate dinning room, large lounge room, huge kitchen and
pantry and family room with a 3.5 metre table and 12 chairs.
We are now working on a music/leisure/study room for our guests.
The Farm:
Calson Park is a 9 acre property in a semi-rural location of Melton South. We breed alpacas. We do not have animals living inside the home but we do have 2 dogs – both are Labrador. Their names are Lucy and Duke. We have 2 cats who also live outside. We have 45 alpacas and yes…… they also live outside.
Location:
We are about a 20 minute drive from the Melbourne Airport therefore, we can collect you. We will also return you to the airport. We are also here to assist you with any help you may need while you are with us. The train station is only a 5 minute drive away. I am more than happy to take you to the station and collect you when you need. I am on the farm everyday therefore I can assist you. The train that comes through our area, is a comfortable country “V Line” train. It goes direct to Melbourne with several stops on the way. To get to Melbourne, it is only a 35 minute journey with some trains being express and only one train is required to get you there. We are also central to Ballarat, Daylesford and Geelong.
Our main shopping centre is Melton Central.

3 meals every day (7 days a week). I do all the cooking however, if you would like to prepare a meal, then you are most welcome to do so.
Breakfast: is usually cereal and toast with fruit (help yourself),
Lunch: sandwiches and I would pack you a lunch to take with you during the day, and on the week-end, I will serve you a hearty home-made soup,
