    Description

    Come chill for a while at Hervey Bay...

    Home on 1.5 acres just outside Hervey Bay, located near the airport, about halfway to River Heads (where the barges leave for Fraser Island)

    The place is alive with birds in a quiet and peaceful setting.

    Single bedroom available. Suitable for 1 helper

    Accommodation, with food negotiated in exchange for general gardening, yard work, housework. We do not have huge expectations of the number of hours you help, just that we are all happy that the exchange is fair.

    We both work so you'll have the place to yourself most of the time. We live here with our dogs Leo, Leila and Coco.

    We can only accommodate helpers with a vehicle as there is no public transport nearby. Approximately 14km from Hervey Bay city. We do have a bicycle available for use.

    We are not a vegetarian, so if that is your preference you would need to provide for your own dietary needs.
