    Description

    My family home is a one acre property within an eco village, where I also run a small bakery. The community of 250 residents is less than an hour from the beach in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Join me and my two lovely young daughters to help us with our home and garden and learn about baking! I have lots of exciting projects planned and would love your help to get these going.

    As well as being a haven for wildlife, my garden has many fruit trees, a herb garden, a dam and a cheerful flock of chickens.

    Whilst staying with me, you will have plenty of opportunity to take part in community activities. This includes ping pong, café, monthly market, yoga, movie nights and lots more.

    NO smokers or vegans please and absolutely NO drugs or alcohol...

    Looking for people who love kids, like cooking, and help in and out the property.
