Description
Join us at Adventure Bay Bruny Island - most of the time you willl need your own car but occasionally we can pick you up.
We don’t always have availability as we live in Hobart & this house is 90 minutes drive including ferry to Bruny island.
The island is clean & pristine with beautiful beaches.
We have hosted backpackers for years but are new to this website. Enjoy great food & company in exchange for 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 life with an Australian family and enjoy a beautiful location.
We like eating nice food together & 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 with a general tidy at our cliff top holiday house. Tomorrow October 27th we can pick you up in Hobart. It takes 90 minutes to travel to our house via ferry.
We can sleep 10 people but most of the time we only have 2+ helpers. It varies. Right now we have a girl from Singapore & another girls from Taiwan. Last weekend we had 4 people. It always changes. We have hosted for 15 years but are new to this site.
