    Description

    We are a small family run Eco Lodge with a cat, cockatiel and many friendly travellers. We're set on 1 acre of tropical gardens in the middle of Hervey Bay and only a five minute walk to the beach, cafes and bars. Our on going project is to monitor our Solar energy production and usage, extensive recycling and compost. We'd love to have you here sharing with us and help us to make this dream possible.
    Work is cleaning and gardening 2-3 hours (usually only 2) 5 mornings per week. In exchange for free board, wifi, laundry and discounted tours. Minimum stay is 3 weeks. If you can do a great job and want to stay at least 6 months then we can add paid reception work on top of the housekeeping and gardening.
    Experience preferred, please apply by sending your resume to my email.


    Our reception position is now full and will be available again in May 2024
