    Description

    Hello, we are a family of four. Josh (38), Anna (38) and Sadie (7 yrs) and Chace (5 yrs). Josh is a carpenter, and I am a teacher. We enjoy a relatively active lifestyle and we're all pretty relaxed. We live on just under two acres in Maroochy River (close to Bli Bli), Sunshine Coast.

    The house has a beautiful outlook onto the garden with a lovely deck, kookaburras and butcher birds often join us for a chat. We have a large home, with a self-contained unit downstairs. The neighbourhood is very friendly and peaceful.

    We are looking to host couples or friends travelling together, 3-4 people.

    We're a 15 minute drive to the airport and beaches. Local coffee shops, markets, groceries are within a 10 minute drive.

    We have two spare bedrooms downstairs, bathroom, rumpus area, kitchen, small deck and dining. This space has just been renovated. We also have a lovely pool area for guests to use.

    Due to our busy routine, we have decided that food and cooking is the responsibility of our workaway guests. We have reduced the amount of work hours to accommodate for this.
