Description
My property is located in Mackay which is in Central Queensland Coast area. Mackay is a stunning area with beautiful beaches and very nice places for walking and swimming. Mackay is less well known to tourists/backpackers so you can fully enjoy all its beauty without the crowds. I provide bike(s) so you can enjoy exploring the area.

I provide:

Private studio accommodation. You will enjoy this entire place to yourself, there are no shared areas.
Happy and safe work environment
Connection with community events/arts scene
Bikes/helmets/access to extensive bike tracks
Excellent support to workawayers seeking to enrich their English speaking skills ie increase vocabulary and improving their pronunciation
Training for cooking skills in plant based foods if you are interested
Hiking opportunities
Body surfing: weather permitting
Access to free resort style pool nearby (10 minute bike ride)
Pick up/drop off from point of arrival and departure

You will be staying in a studio which is your private area: queen sized bed, couch and toilet. Bathroom facilities are nearby and are shared with me.

I am hugely safety conscious and for this reason you will not be exposed to any work outdoors in excessive heat conditions.

I truly try very hard to make every workaway stay a positive and memorable experience. Before considering my place there are a few things to know:

You will be asked to help with outdoor tasks therefore it is important you are comfortable with the presence of living creatures in my garden. If you have concerns about insects and/or other living creatures or don't enjoy the outdoors then my place isn't suited for you.

I have a small indoor dog: Coco Chanel. If you don't like dogs this may not be a suitable place for you to stay.

Mackay is a beautiful place to visit in terms of its natural beauty. We have many beautiful beaches, gardens and safe areas for swimming. The attraction is the slower pace and lack of crowds. Please consider if this type of experience will appeal to you.
If you are looking for a buzzing place which is full of backpackers then my place is not a good fit for you. Airlie Beach is a good alternative if you are seeking the company of other backpackers.

On a positive note...I do try to customise the work to preferences as much as I can. I also try to offer a mix of creative projects matched to your interests.

I welcome either 2 friends travelling together or couples.
Before committing to staying at my property I require that we have a detailed phone discussion to make sure we are a good fit.

Left by Workawayer (Holly & Olivia) for host

We don’t really know where to start.
Maybe by saying Alison was super friendly and seems to be a lovely person, she picked us up from the train station when we arrived which was around 9.30pm. The hospitality we received was also great. Alison had made us soup for tea which was very thoughtful. Coco the dog was also very sweet.

However, our… read more initial 10 night work away turned into 2 pretty quickly. We left early one morning with no discussion with Alison. Which, when we replied to her message, we apologised for and explained that we just did not feel comfortable at all. Workaways’ advice is to listen to your gut feeling and get out if this is the case.

When we were shown the studio to where we’d be staying, we were grateful, 10 days is a long time and a lot of money saved on accommodation. A bed is a bed at the end of the day and we didn’t need much. However, the studio that was shown in the pictures had completely changed. It was spacious as described. The bed was multiple mattresses stacked on wooden pallets. The bedding was more sheets and blankets. There were nets across the windows but no way of shutting the windows so noises were loud on a night from possums etc and no way of regulating temperature in the studio e.g heating or air con. When we arrived, we were told about ‘workers’ staying in accommodation close by and that we’d be sharing the bathroom facilities with them. We weren’t aware of this before. Due to this, we were told we can shower before 5pm as the workers are back around 6pm. We don’t mind sharing but the timing part was quite restricting for us. Especially because we like to exercise in the evenings when it’s cooler.

When we were out for the day, we received a message from Alison saying she’d left some lunch in the studio. We fully appreciate the intentions were good. However, we do believe that permission should be sought as all of our belongings were there and we were not.

The first day Alison said we can have off as she hadn’t finished her notes for the work we’d be doing over the course of our stay. We took this opportunity to explore the centre of Mackay and surrounding areas. The bikes were very useful.
The problem wasn’t just the false pictures of the studio but the false portrayal of Mackay. We booked based on the profile as it just sounded perfect and ‘less well known to tourists’ was accurate- we figured there was a reason for this.

There was some small drama at the train station, Alison had apologised and said that that is out of character for Mackay. Later in our stay we quickly figured out that it was actually an accurate representation of the area. We had people shout from cars at us while biking a couple of times. We had to find last minute accommodation for a night to wait for a train which was arriving at 3am in the morning. We ordered pizza and it was at this point the driver unfortunately told us about the shooting that had just happened. This was followed by a comment by him, ‘you get used to it’.
We were located a 5 minute walk from this. Police advised to stay indoors until they located the shooter, so that is how we spent our time.

This was our first workaway opportunity and honestly we’ve just been a little shocked. We bought train tickets from cairns to Mackay and skipped great backpacking places.
We are frustrated at how far we’ve travelled and we are currently writing this review at Airlie Beach which is a completely different vibe. We saw no other backpackers in Mackay but we’ve seen loads here already. Only been here a couple of hours.

From our first workaway we’ve learnt that an agreement of what kind of work we’d be doing needs to be agreed upfront as to this day, we still have no idea of what we’d have been doing or if there was even any work to be done- we had a vibe that there wasn’t much to do.

I know Alison will be upset with this review as she asked us not to review at all but we had to ignore this. If we’d have seen a review like this it would have saved us time and in the long run, we are just out of pocket with having to relocate. Some backpackers are travelling solo and we’d hate for them to be in the same position on their own. We’ve spent 3 days just feeling uncomfortable and at points, scared.
I’d like to emphasise that Mackay is NOT a place for backpackers. Yes there was a nice sunrise, yes it’s quiet, yes there’s places to walk. But you can find this anywhere!

The great thing about our time with Nate is how he focused on the cultural and skills exchange of the workaway programme. We were able to learn about all sorts of things ranging from paint prep (not the most exciting, but useful) to property development advice to, most importantly, learning lots about the wonderful bees and how to care for them!… read more We also shared with Nate info on our plant-based diet - he was interested in learning about it from a nutritional point of view.

So, what to expect? Well, the current workaway description is a bit different to our experience- could be worth updating to reflect current circumstances (Though Alison warned us that would be the case when we contacted her). Nate spends a lot of time living at two properties away from the main family home in Mackay as there is lots of work to do so we spent time with him. We briefly met Alison and she was welcoming and friendly. Most help needed is in a property in Walkerston - great for people wanting to help or learn more about house renovation. We stayed in our campervan there as it is a building site at the moment. Basic needs are met - shelter, water and place to wash/cook. There is no internet or laundry. There is also a fair amount of work needed at the Seaforth property. Mainly outdoor work and beekeeping. There was a room we could stay in there but no internet. Bikes are available at the mackay property so as we weren’t working there we made a trip on our final day to Mackay and borrowed the bikes.
Nate took us on a pleasant bike ride, stopping off at a lovely community garden and botanic gardens. Nate isn’t vegan but was happy to eat vegan with us and we shared making yummy meals, sometimes he’d add fish on the side etc. He provided lots of lovely ingredients to cook with, some fresh from the garden! Yum. His family are vegan but we didn’t spend time much time with them. The advertised ‘sailing adventure’ Is maybe for long term stayers? I’m not sure, Nate goes out occasionally but is a busy man! We didn’t see much of Mackay but we really enjoyed Nate’s company and feel that we made a great friendship with him so that is more important to us than sight-seeing.

I would definitely recommend if you would like to learn new skills in some of the areas advertised. Plus Nate is just a genuine guy that is so giving and knowledgeable - interesting to share conversations with. Thank you for all you shared with us and for teaching us new skills :)
