Description
We are Dylan (34) and Georgia (33), and are building our dream homestead. Our dream is to turn our property into a farm stay with animals and food to become self sufficient in years to come.
Various projects for 2025 will include: Housekeeping, General Cleaning, Cooking, Landscaping and Garden Maintenance. We are finishing a tiny home project this spring and also require some help finishing it, and we will likely be building a farm stand in July that could require some participation - projects are always evolving here!
We have a spa on the property, with wood fired sauna, cold plunge, and relaxation room. We also host wellness events, yoga, sound baths, food experiences.
We have preference for couples or travellers in groups of 2, but not closed to solo travellers as long as you are independent and don't need us to provide entertainment! A car is needed to access our property.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Georgia is also a sound healer and plays crystal singing bowls. Dylan & Georgia are both Reiki practitioners. If workaways are interested in learning about sound healing and playing the bowls that could be possible.
We love to spend evenings relaxing, eating delicious homecooked meals, and gardening. We will spend some time socialising with workaways but not every evening, after a long day we like to relax alone. This workaway is best suited to two people who have each other to socialise and keep each other company during work hours and exploring the local area.
When reaching out, please share your reasons for picking the Sunshine Coast and what you would like to get out of this experience!
