Description
Hello we are Margie and Terry, a late middle aged couple who love to travel. We now have Margie’s elderly mum living with us. We really enjoy hosting people from other places. We would welcome a single traveller who is happy to do a bit of gardening and help inside. We do not have enough work for more than one workaway. We need someone to do general house tasks - really only an hour a day, some days two. We live in north Brisbane and a bus to the city runs past our door. There is lots to see and do around Brisbane.

Terry and Margie made me feel at home instantly and welcomed me into their family. Margie's cooking was fab!

Romina and Flor were a delightful addition to our home for their short stay. They were very, very, very!! helpful around the house and can turn their hand to do many things.

It was six days, which were the best welcome to Australia! They are simply charming, generous, people who help you, advise you and who are willing to share their time with beautiful talks,… read more

My stay with Margie and Terry was fabulous! This family is warm and welcoming. They helped me with many things and made me feel like a part of their family.
The chores they ask for in exchange for their hospitality are quite doable, just housekeeping for an hour or two a day, which is more than reasonable.
I can only recommend a stay with them.… read more

David and Amy have just left us and we are sorry to see then move on.
They are a super couple who are friendly, great company and who have a
great work ethic and go above what is expected. If they ask to come to
your place then say yes.... you won't be sorry. We wish them the best for
their time in Australia.
