Description
Hi All,
We are a family with two young girls aged (4 & 1) living on a beautiful island in the Southern Moreton Bay region. Macleay Island is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.
We are particularly looking for young families like ourselves that want to share time & watch our kids explore, exchange & grow together. Ideally it would be great to host families with kids of a similar age between 0-5 so that hazel & koda could engage, learn & play more readily, however we’re also open to older kids who may like to play & teach them new things. Even if you don’t have kids & simply have a passion & love of spending time with children then we want you!!
We love to spend time in nature, are creative & enjoy imaginative play!
Really we just want people to hang with, to share in cooking, cleaning, playing, adventuring, learning & exploring this beautiful life. This could mean taking the kids on a beach adventure or helping to build a garden bed to grow food with the kids. We are really keen to slow down & be more present, & are looking for anyone with a passion & a keen interest to come share with our girls & family.
The Islands are located a 15 minute ferry ride from Redland bay and only 1 hour from Brisbane & the Gold coast. There is plenty to explore and see, especially if you enjoy fishing, kayaking, boating etc.
