My sister and I spent a week with with Tracie and it was a blast! Tracie is a really easygoing host, and made sure we were welcome in her home. She was often gone at work during the day but gave us clear instructions regarding the work she needed done. Our tasks were mainly odd jobs around the garden (weeding, digging a drainage trench, mulching,

Tracie was also great in showing us around on our days off--taking us to lakes, rivers, trails, and even lending us her kayaks! She was previously a outdoors guide so she has heaps of interesting facts about wildlife and also some interesting David Attenborough documentaries as well! We will definitely miss Tracie and Puss!

My brother and I had a great week-long stay with Tracie! We felt very welcome and comfortable in her home, with our own little bedroom and plenty of ingredients for cooking meals.

She also took us out for multiple excursions in the area (driving us to walking trails, nearby towns, lakes/rivers for swimming, and even taking us out for a barbecue). Herberton and the surrounding villages are peaceful and full of interesting nature. All in all I would highly recommend exploring the Tablelands and staying with Tracie! A huge thank you goes out to her for being such a wonderful host, and of course to the host-cat Puss too :)Feedback

Although Steven is a nice person, good at chatting, telling stories most of the the information that was on his profile didn't come to fruition at my place, therefore I felt forced to cut his stay short
We were able to stay with Tracie for three weeks. Thank you Tracie for contacting us. We had a wonderful time in Herberton.

We stayed with Tracie for just over 2 weeks. Tracie showed us around in our spare time and made us feel very welcome. She's very knowledgeable about the area and was more than happy to share what makes the Atherton Tablelands a special place to be. I hope our help goes a long way with the garden. Thanks so much for everything Tracie!

Heberton is a gorgeous part of Australia, it has so much wildlife. I loved seeing all the wild Parrots and lizards which visited her garden, there are lots of bush walks too. Her cat was a great companion and I enjoyed petting her.
