Descripción
Hey Foodies/Vegan/travellers,

My property is located in Mackay which is in Central Queensland Coast area. Mackay is a stunning area with beautiful beaches and very nice places for walking and swimming. Mackay is less well known to tourists so you can fully enjoy all its beauty without the crowds.

I truly try very hard to make every workaway stay a positive and memorable experience. Before considering my place there are a few things to know:

I have 2 small dogs, one has super high energy levels. They both love meeting my workaway visitors.

You will be asked to help with outdoor work therefore it is important you are comfortable with the presence of living creatures in my garden. If you have concerns about insects and/or other living creatures or don't enjoy the outdoors then my place isn't ideal for you

On a positive note....

I love food and cooking. I prepare beautiful and delicious vegan meals every day. I have a diverse menu and I can guarantee 100% that you will have a diet rich in diverse nutrients and free of any animal products.

I offer a happy and safe environment. I make a big effort to make you feel welcome. My place is extremely suitable for female travelers and your safety is assured.
My workaway visitors comment that my place makes a nice break from the hectic demands of staying in hostels and sorting out food and travel arrangements.

Please note that I am very interested in learning French and would love to meet people who are willing to share their knowledge of the French language. My French is at an intermediate level, I am also passionate about teaching English so I am really happy to help you as much as possible to refine your English skills. As a language learner myself I have a good knowledge of English grammar which helps in explaining concepts.

We are hugely safety conscious and for this reason you will not be exposed to any work outdoors in the heat. I try to make the work as varied and interesting as possible so you can develop new skills and talents. If we work outdoors it is either early in the morning or afternoon. The work will involve domestic work: cleaning mainly and gardening projects including weeding and maintaining gardens. You will not be required to do any childcare during your stay as my kids are adults and no longer live with me.

I welcome single travellers, 2 friends travelling together or couples.

It was an absolute pleasure to host Emily's stay. Emily is a very smart, fun, positive person and is a tremendous asset as a workawayer.
She has a truly great attitude to work and will do any jobs given to her with very minimal supervision. She mainly did gardening for me and some furniture moving.
She was very appreciative of what we offered her… read more

Alison was a perfect host! She is kind, generous, and made me feel like a part of her family. I had a large unit accommodation to myself, ample free time to wander around Mackay, and a bicycle to use whenever I wanted! Alison's meals are all vegan and delicious, and she takes care to make sure that you are well-fed. I especially appreciated her… read more

This was one of the best workaway experiences I have had! The family is very kind and they all want to make sure that you are feeling good at their place. The work didn’t feel like actual work due to the good relationship we had. I did a lot of gardening and some painting which suited me very well.
However, work is very flexible and Alison always… read more

The great thing about our time with Nate is how he focused on the cultural and skills exchange of the workaway programme. We were able to learn about all sorts of things ranging from paint prep (not the most exciting, but useful) to property development advice to, most importantly, learning lots about the wonderful bees and how to care for them!… read more We also shared with Nate info on our plant-based diet - he was interested in learning about it from a nutritional point of view.

So, what to expect? Well, the current workaway description is a bit different to our experience- could be worth updating to reflect current circumstances (Though Alison warned us that would be the case when we contacted her). Nate spends a lot of time living at two properties away from the main family home in Mackay as there is lots of work to do so we spent time with him. We briefly met Alison and she was welcoming and friendly. Most help needed is in a property in Walkerston - great for people wanting to help or learn more about house renovation. We stayed in our campervan there as it is a building site at the moment. Basic needs are met - shelter, water and place to wash/cook. There is no internet or laundry. There is also a fair amount of work needed at the Seaforth property. Mainly outdoor work and beekeeping. There was a room we could stay in there but no internet. Bikes are available at the mackay property so as we weren’t working there we made a trip on our final day to Mackay and borrowed the bikes.
Nate took us on a pleasant bike ride, stopping off at a lovely community garden and botanic gardens. Nate isn’t vegan but was happy to eat vegan with us and we shared making yummy meals, sometimes he’d add fish on the side etc. He provided lots of lovely ingredients to cook with, some fresh from the garden! Yum. His family are vegan but we didn’t spend time much time with them. The advertised ‘sailing adventure’ Is maybe for long term stayers? I’m not sure, Nate goes out occasionally but is a busy man! We didn’t see much of Mackay but we really enjoyed Nate’s company and feel that we made a great friendship with him so that is more important to us than sight-seeing.

I would definitely recommend if you would like to learn new skills in some of the areas advertised. Plus Nate is just a genuine guy that is so giving and knowledgeable - interesting to share conversations with. Thank you for all you shared with us and for teaching us new skills :)
