So much gardening!
Are you a hard worker looking for a comfy and private place to rest.
We are offering a property all to yourself for mature, responsible workawayers seeking accommodation for months, not weeks.
We have a great property on the Gold Coast sitting going to waste and we need your help bringing it back into shape. There is heaps of pruning, weeding and fencing to be done. The work is quite labor intensive and the owners of the property do not live onsite so you would have the place all to yourselves. We do live just 8 mins by car though and we will see you regularly. The property, gardens and orchards haven't been maintained in recent years so we have lots of work to do.
Weeding, spraying, chopping, hacking, pulling and shoveling are all key jobs here. So if you want to build some muscle apply today 🤣.
Samantha is an Equine Assisted Educator and is always keen to talk about music, art, ballet, movies and animals. When not on the farm she is busy with her dogs, horses and business.
Chris is a retired fella but always very busy doing property maintenance.
We are both generally pretty and if you have your own car you're welcome to come an spend time with us and our herd of horses at the second property just a few kilometres away.
We don’t live at this farm so the farm house is all yours to enjoy. We just ask for a few hours a day/week in exchange for accommodation.
Located in the beautiful Hinterland region of the sunny Gold Coast, it is preferred that you have your own transport because bus services are scarce. When we can, you're always welcome to hitch a ride back to civilisation which is 15-30 minutes away. We welcome couples or friends travelling together and would prefer you to stay on for at least 3 weeks. Helping hours are flexible and can be negotiated. Generally we will be expecting 25 hours a week split over 4 - 5 days. Typically we take Saturday and Sunday off.
You will be living amongst the trees on this property with plenty of bird life and wallabies too. The occasional goanna (lace monitor), possums and of course snakes and spiders. That’s Australia.
Sam is always happy to offer a few horsemanship sessions to the uninitiated at the home property in Guanaba. No riding but in hand lessons are available to those who are keen to learn.
Farm house is fully equipped with everything you will need. Kitchen is available but you need to provide your own groceries.
We need your help, contribution and love injected into this beautiful little farm. Many hands make light work and working together is always more fun than working alone.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Enjoy a genuine Australian adventure with kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, goannas, cockatoos, kookaburras, king parrots, possums and all the rest of the native locals living in harmony with us on site.
Arbeit
Help needed is pruning, mulching, weeding, fencing, irrigation maintenance to bring this beautiful farm back from the brink. You will be learning right along side us as we aren't far into the world of land management ourselves. The work is often tough and labour intensive. In warmer months it is very hot. We work rain, hail or shine. You will be exposed to domestic and native animals.
Hours are flexible and we will set a schedule that matches our own work and your plans on arrival.Gesprochene Sprachen

Unterkunft
Accommodation is well suited to couples or 2 friends travelling together as there is just one queen sized bed in the cottage. We can arrange single mattresses on the floor if required. Accommodation is very comfortable and private. Water restrictions apply as we are on tank water and internet connectivity is limited. Free to air TV connection is reliable.

We are QLD and Gold Coast locals. We know all the good spots and will be happy to give you the insider tips on how to get there and what the best bits of South East Qld really are.

Happy for you to bring well trained dog/s onsite. Property is not fenced so you will need to keep a close eye on them.
