hello
I run festivals, events and boutique DJ parties. I also used to own a very popular boutique backpackers hostel in Perth, WA, so me and my team know how to make travellers feel comfortable and secure. It can be a crazy work environment but our house itself is pretty quiet, even though it does have its own nightclub inside it,
Sometimes you might help out loading up a truck and setting up at a party, then you can hang out and enjoy the event, there is also the usual stuff; cleaning up a big house and trying keep the gardens from becoming a jungle. We almost always have a group stay at the same time. Its more fun, you get to make friends and go do touristy stuff together. We also try, time permitting, to get the group on a day out to Rottnest island on our private boat.
We are on top of the hill overlooking the city with views to the ocean and rottnest island (thru the telescope!), and just 15 minutes from the international airport terminal.
I spend over half the year in either Bali or Europe, when im not around my lovely assistant Minnie takes care of you, and sometimes my partner Debby if she is in town.

Dave is very generous, allowing you to enjoy the house freely, as well as taking you boat rides or driving to the station. The work itself consists of general maintenance of the enormous house and setting up and taking down the party he's organizing, which was an experience I thoroughly… read more
