    CHECK THE CALENDAR FOR AVAILABILITY
    We are looking for a non smoking single or couple 24+ to come and help us in our house and garden. The room is either a self contained unit, or a double room upstairs. We provide healthy food and share a meal in the evening. BYO alcohol or snacks.
    ---
    We are set into the bush against the National Park on Magnetic Island, close to beaches for swimming, diving, fishing and snorkelling. There are lots of great walks nearby. Our garden is host to native animals such as koalas, echidnas and wallabies. Our home is an open design timber pole frame. We have an established bush garden , pool, small dog and chickens. We are currently needing some help with cleaning and gardening. We have extensive local knowledge and love to share our special home with visitors. The work is offset by good food, peaceful and interesting surrounds and plenty of time to explore the Island. Non smokers and 24+ years old only please. Couple or single.
