    Description

    Hi,

    We are Yvonne & Danny.
    Our lush home is located on the beautiful central Gold Coast, in a suburb called Carrara. We are close to the theme parks, the beach, and our stunning national parks. We have a large, modern 4 bedroom home, beautiful gardens, and a great pool to enjoy.

    Yvonne was born and raised in Germany, but moved to Australia 18 years ago. She works full-time in corporate IT, is a meditation teacher, and currently completing a master's certification in meditation therapy/holistic counselling. She works from home most days with one day per week in the office. Danny grew up in Canberra and has been living in the Northern Rivers/Gold Coast area for 20+ years. He runs his own landscape construction business and is usually out during the day for work.

    Leon, our small dog, is 15 years old and quite affectionate. Mostly a professional sleeper, but he loves cuddles and would spend all day on a lap getting belly rubs if he could. Our second dog, Czar is 4 years old, she suffers from high-level anxiety, and is pretty psycho, but once she knows you, you'll be her best fried. Their love language is FOOD so be sure to have snacks on you :)

    Zac, our housemate, is an easygoing dude in his mid-30s. He's a swimming teacher/child educator.
    On the property, we have a self-contained studio which is currently rented to Chris (a support worker) and Helen (University Lecturer). We often have 'family' dinners where we all get together for a healthy feast,conversations, and games.

    In our free time, we love doing yoga, travelling, hiking, camping, healthy food, going to the beach, cultural events such as exhibitions, concerts, theatre, and shows, or simply relaxing. We enjoy welcoming people to our house as long as they are respectful, friendly, and willing to contribute to the household.

    Having lived in the area (between Northern Rivers and Brisbane) for many years we are able to provide you with lots of great insider tips. We offer to take you to secluded beaches, waterfalls, swim holes, markets, hiking, to see kangaroos' and koalas etc. Yvonne speaks fluent German and English, is able to teach you meditation and yoga, she also sings in a choir. Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings and everyone is invited. Danny is a great teacher in all things plants & building.

  • Aide

    Aide

    We need help mainly around the gardens, painting walls, and general housework. We currently have a few projects we would appreciate help with:
    - A large tiger grass bush, weeds, and plants that need to be cleaned up, cut down, and carried up to street level from the backyard.
    - Paint walls in office, toilette, bed & media room.
    - Painting of doors, and door frames.
    - Painting of skirting boards.
    - Construction work in the backyard (we have a rather large, ongoing construction project in the backyard, which requires hard manual labour like carrying concrete blocks or buckets of gravel from street level to the backyard. Not for the faint hearted but sure to keep you fit!)
