Description
We have a quite a big property close to Noosa its national parks and lots of beaches. We are very busy working and struggle to do the basic upkeep of the property. My family all use the property for rest and recreation. We have a 4 bedroom house, the bungalow (tiny house) and the Bungalette ( one bedroom cabin)
We ideally would like a couple to come stay with us who would like to work in the region in exchange for a couple of hours work doing very basic mowing, brush cutting and maintenance of the creek by sawing off the invasive vines at ground level in the rainforest that grows along the creek. We have chooks that may need you. Vegie gardens that really need some attention and lots of kangaroos that visit us. Our favourite part of living here is the birdlife! They are amazing and love it when we get rid of the vines.
If you are not scared of the bush and showering in an open bush bathroom and using a composting toilet ... give us a call.

There is a nice breezy kitchen and living space that has wifi for you to connect to. We have lots of fire wood so you can have a nice fire in your fire pit any time you like.
