Descripción
My wife and I live right on a beautiful beach in a large log home on 80 acres of land, in the Whitsundays ( the most beautiful area in Australia ) . We are not young , and need some help in the house, and garden. A great place to learn about our local flora and fauna. We are wildlife carers looking after orphaned joeys. We have 400m of beautiful beach that is very rarely visited by anyone else, with absolutely clear blue calm seas. We are just outside Hideaway Bay, Qld 4800

We had a fantastic 10 days staying with Ian and Maren in their beautiful property by the beach! Both of them were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. The work we did was great - helping construct an enclosure for baby wallabies in their garden!

It was a great experience to meet Doninik, He was helpful, happy and nothing was too much trouble ( including the pebble crush finish on the concrete ) which would try anyone’s patience, ( ha ha ) . We hope his adventure is rewarding and we look forward to seeing you him again in the future. ( He was great at pickleball 😊)

I had the pleasure of staying with Maren and Ian for a little bit over three weeks in exchange for some help in and around the house. It was a truly special and rewarding experience. Most of my tasks involved gardening work, mostly weeding, and I also helped with cleaning the windows. The tasks can vary, but everything is discussed and agreed upon… read more

Our life here was like a paradise. We had breakfast in the beautiful garden, bathed in the sun. Our main tasks were weeding and watering the plants. None of it was difficult, and Maren and Ian were very kind and made sure we didn't get too tired. Swimming in the ocean after helping was very refreshing and a great moment. In the evening, we watched… read more

We spent two wonderful weeks at Maren and Ian's place in November. Maren and Ian were fantastic hosts who looked after us very well. Maren was great to talk to and provided us with everything we needed. For example we got fresh towels and sheets after a week and she filled the fridge with all the items we asked for for breakfast and lunch.
