Description
Join us at Adventure Bay on Bruny Island this coming weekend.
I can collect you early Saturday depending on how much luggage you have and how many other people want to come - ideally if you have your own car even better. We live in Hobart most of the time, this is our holiday house. We don't like to leave people alone at this property unless you're a couple, or a group of friends and have a car.
This coming weekend we will rake some sticks and potentially collect oysters if the weather is reasonable (yes you can enjoy oysters to eat at the end of the day along with other delicious food!)
The island is clean & pristine with beautiful beaches.
We have hosted backpackers for years using different programs. Enjoy great food & company in exchange for 3-4 hours work. Usually easy jobs.
Kylie & Glen are your hosts. Kylie works in radio, Glen is an oyster manager & marine based
We have 2 daughters but they live in Sydney now studying. We also have 2 cute poodles. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
When you stay with us you’ll experience a remote beautiful location.
We like eating nice food together if we are staying at the property with you (not all the time) & having conversations over dinner. We will try & have a bonfire & BBQ while you are staying & you will meet our adorable dogs.
It’s a friendly atmosphere usually with other helpers and sometimes you will see wallabies !
There’s a nearby farm of miniature animals we can visit. -
Help
We need help - staying 1 or 2 nights. If you have a car possibly longer by request.
We can sleep quite a lot of people but most of the time we only have 2-4 helpers. It varies. Jobs include raking sticks and general household maintenance. -
