    About Us.

    We live on a quiet property on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, in a peaceful coastal setting with a mix of garden, yard, and ongoing small projects.

    Life here has a simple rhythm — a few hours of helping out, then lots of space to do your own thing. People often spend their free time exploring the coast, relaxing, or working on personal or creative projects.

    We also have some creative things happening around the property, including ceramics, art, and occasional multimedia or music work. Nothing formal — just part of the environment.

    We’re close to the ocean and sometimes get out on the water when timing and conditions allow, but day-to-day life is generally quiet and low-key.

    Couples tend to fit well since the accommodation is private and self-contained, but we’re also open to independent travellers who are easygoing and self-sufficient.



    What We Offer

    • Private room (self-contained space)
    • Access to a simple kitchen (self-catered)
    • Quiet property close to both town and nature
    • A relaxed, independent environment
    • Plenty of free time outside of help hours
    • A comfortable base while travelling

    This is a good spot for people who appreciate calm surroundings and a bit of independence.



    The Help

    Help is mostly outdoors and practical — things like gardening, yard cleanup, small building projects, and general upkeep around the property.

    It can be physical at times, but we keep things fair and straightforward — usually a few hours a day, with plenty of downtime afterward.

    There may occasionally be opportunities to help with creative or workshop-related projects, depending on timing.



    A Good Fit

    This tends to work well for:

    • Independent travellers who are comfortable doing their own thing
    • People who don’t need a lot of supervision
    • Reliable people who can work steadily without much direction
    • Those happy with a quieter, low-key environment
    • Couples who enjoy having their own space

    This is not a highly social or hosted environment — it suits people who are comfortable being fairly independent.
