Description
We live on beautiful Stradbroke Island. A paradise just near Brisbane. It has great public transport on the Island and is perfect for swimming and surfing. We are an older couple, young at heart.
PLEASE read before messaging and planning to come and stay!
Our home and Island are a great opportunity to visit and explore Stradbroke Island but there are a few requirements that we have for you to come stay and work in our home.
-as we are located on an island, you will need to take a water taxi to the Island, and this is available for a car as well. If you plan to bring a car, plan as the ferries get booked quickly
-we do expect quiet and responsible guests, this is not a place to party.
-many tasks involve tools and various gardening equipment, you need a knowledge or how to use and operate various tools, weed wacker, mowers, drills, etc.
-we prefer if you can lift a reasonable weight, such as boxes, bags of soil etc.
-we would like a 2-week trial run and if everything goes well then, we would prefer a month minimum stay, nothing less. If everything goes ok, you have the option to stay for a month or maybe more.
-we prefer not to cook, so buying food and meals would be your responsibility. We have a fully functional kitchen for you to use and cook in.
fluent English is a requirement, you need to be able to speak and understand English with a high degree of certainty

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have a lovely island with natural beauty to share. Opportunities for part-time work on the island abound. We would love some young company to enjoy learning about each others cultures. We have experience being in our own business and ran a large pottery business and building business on the Island for many years. We love pottery!

We would love some help in our large garden and veggie garden and help with clearing our shed. We would also love some help with shopping and with computer skills.
