    Description

    We are a family of 4 - us and 2 children (2.5 & 1 year old) living on 19 acres of beautiful bushland / rainforest which borderlines a national park. We are located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland with a huge pool, 2 dams, seasonal waterfalls with lots to explore. We are situated 15 minutes from beaches & the Sunshine Coast Airport. Our greater family consists of lots of chickens and a crazy loveable dog named Daisy. We require assistance on our property so thought we would like to give someone the opportunity to stay and help us, while visiting the amazing place we live in.

    Our house is pavilion style set up so each room has their own bathroom and toilet and is separate from the rest of the house for maximum privacy. It is a work in progress, as we bought it extremely run down. Please don’t expect a palace, however you’ll be very comfortable.

    We love camping, fishing & adventuring and would love to show you around if you enjoy these sorts of adventures you’re most welcome to join us!

    Ideally we would like to connect with people who enjoy a little building / construction and definitely enjoy landscaping and garden work as we have LOTS of that to do on our large property. We already have arrangements for our children, so we won’t require any help in that field.
