Description
I am a musical instrument maker of the Slide Didge. I love any excuse to get out into exploring nature. I used to manage the property as a guest house/health retreat. Now i am developing it as a community within a community for fulltime tenants, occassional workawayers, and a range of returned guests.

It is a one acre retreat in the heart of an eco village, an award winning permaculture designed community. I need help cleaning inside and outside, gardening and general maintanance.

We are located in sunshine coast hinterland, 150 meters from upper mary river. Sharing 640 acres of common land with a community 250 people strong with village market, bakery, great parties, farming, bamboo forest 17 dams walking tracks, music night in Maleny and much more.

This is paradise but we are not a permaculture utopia where you get a course in permaculture gardening.

We are looking for open minded, easy going, hardworking self initiated paradigm shifters who contribute. Share the Love

We had the most wonderful time at the Dreamplant. Scott is a kind-hearted, down to earth guy and made us feel very welcome - as did everyone else in the community. The work was fair and enjoyable - we worked in the garden and did some painting. We were given breaks and tasty treats which was a bonus! The property is part of an a very special… read more

Giving Scott stars and reviewing him as if his place is an average hostel or so feels strange as Scott turned into a friend of mine during the time I stayed at his place
and he is not just a normal host.
He took me on hikes, a boatparty, he showed me some waterfalls and the area around, we did bonfires, one day we went surfing.. in short I had a… read more

I stayed at Scott’s place for 2,5 weeks in September and had good time. The main task for this time was cleaning the house. As Scott was not around for 90% of the time, it got boring after a while and it was not so easy to motivate yourself. This situation is unusual and I just had a bad timing for being there while he was away. Nevertheless Scott… read more

Staying at Scotty's eco-village was like staying with family. He went out of his way to make me feel welcome.
