    Description

    We are Natalia and Tim, we live on a beautiful 11 acre property right on the border of Mapleton Falls National Park. Mapleton is located in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast providing stunning rainforest scenery, but only a 40 minute drive to the beach. This is the ideal place for waterfall lovers and hikers. There is so much to see and do in this area.

    We require approximately 4h/day Monday-Friday in exchange for food and accommodation in our spare room (with queen bed).

    We have a big property and there are endless jobs to be doing. Tasks includes mainly gardening, small projects, landscaping.
    We have all the tools required, like a tractor, large ride on mower and whipper shippers No experience is required as we will teach you everything.

    We would prefer a couple but solo travellers are also welcome :)
