Create a peaceful home and garden on the Sunny Gold Coast, Australia

  Description

  Location: Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
  Availability: Flexible
  Exchange: Accommodation while working, plus your own kitchen, as I use the outdoor kitchen in return for help around the home and garden
  
  Hi! I’m Tanja — I live in a central Gold Coast home with a garden, pool, and lots of creative energy. I’m walking distance to the beach, shops, cafes, HOTA (our local arts and culture hub), and everything this vibrant part of Australia has to offer.
  
  I’m looking for a kind, capable, and easygoing Workawayer to help with a variety of tasks depending on your strengths. Some of the areas I’d love support with include:
  • Cleaning and organising inside the home
  • Gardening and helping create a tranquil outdoor retreat
  • General handyman tasks – e.g. hanging art, installing a small security camera system, sanding or painting wooden panels
  • Styling and decluttering – help sorting wardrobes, clothes, and giving the space a fresh feel
  • Creative teaching – if you’re into pottery, drawing, or painting, I’d love to learn from you!
  • Pet care – feeding my sweet cat when I’m away
  
  In exchange, you’ll have your own space in a calm, comfortable home . You’ll mostly work independently and can be flexible with timing — we’ll work out a rhythm that suits both of us.
  
  My vision is to create a peaceful, happy, and “zenified” space both inside and out — and I’d love for you to be part of it.
  
  If this sounds like a match for you, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself and your skills. I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to my home!
  
  Please note Help wanted for my private home and garden, I am not a business (info required by Workaway)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You’ll be staying in a unique Gold Coast location, close to beaches, parks, and local arts culture. I’m always open to cultural exchange and love learning new creative skills, especially from those with an artistic or holistic background.
  
  I’d be happy to share local tips, peaceful spots, and simple meals — and I’m always up for learning something new from you, too.

  Help

  Hi! I’m Tanja and I live in a lovely house with a garden and pool in the heart of the Gold Coast.
  The location is super central — just a walk to the beach, shops, HOTA (our local arts hub), the art centre, and everything this vibrant area has to offer.
  
  I’m on a mission to transform my space into a peaceful, happy, and “zenified” sanctuary — both inside and out. I’d love your help bringing this vision to life!
  
  Projects you might help with (depending on your skills):
  
  
  Handy or Creative? Even better!
  • General handyman tasks (e.g. swinging a door the other way, installing a gate, sanding, painting, fitting floorboards) if eventually like the house to have floorboards vs tiles
  • Organising spaces or helping with styling
  • Teaching me pottery my friend recently gave me a pottery wheel ,drawing, or painting (if you’re creatively inclined)
  • Helping with my wardrobe — sorting and decluttering clothes - I really need help here
  • Tech-savvy? I have a registered website that I’ve forgotten the login details
  
  • Gardening - I need help with my garden and outside area pruning, weeding, tidying, organising
  
  • and feeding my cat for when I’m away
  
  I’d really value your input and creativity in shaping this space into something special.
  
  If any of these things sound like you, I’d love to hear where you feel you can best help — and welcome you to my home!
