Where do I start. I honestly had the best time at Megan's and Brent's Eco lodge. Working and staying with the volunteers was so much fun and I have lifelong wonderful memories from my time there. I was originally brought in to do some artwork for Megan and Brent as there was no availability for housekeeping but circumstances changed and I was able
… read more to stay longer whilst housekeeping as well as doing the art which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Hervey Bay is a lovely small town and the locals are all friendly. Myself, the other volunteers and Dylan and Kayla who work on the reception as well as our supervisors, often went to weekly trivia nights, karaoke and beach trips and even a brewery and mini golf!
The workload is very reasonable and as long as you do it to Megan and Brent's standards it really is a great workaway. I got the opportunity to go to K'Gari Island whilst I was there too so would definitely recommend booking a tour.
I love animals so it was a pleasure to be commissioned to draw Megan and Brent's gorgeous pets Oreo the cat (who often visited the staff accommodation for treats) and Cookie the cockatiel who Megan often brought down and we even looked after along with Oreo during their trip away.
I would definitely recommend this Workaway. The Eco lodge is peaceful and so relaxing and Megan and Brent are lovely and I was able to have some really nice chats with them both.
I big shout out to my fellow volunteers and Dylan and Kayla who made my time there so memorable, miss you all already!!!!!!

I stayed and worked here for 3 months in 2024, and had the best time in Hervey Bay. Meg and Brent are so lovely, helpful and kind. It was super cool to hear about all their travel stories, and also a huge thanks to Brent for allowing me to practice with his bagpipes whilst I was there!

The hostel itself has a staff area/kitchen/bikes, which makes it a really nice place to hang out, and super convenient with the bikes. I was able to work at the hostel in the mornings and have another job afterwards which helped me save up for my further travels.
Forever grateful for the amazing people I met here who will be friends for life! They really made this experience super special. For sure recommend this place for a Workaway, was 10/10.

I stayed at the this place for 1,5 months in february/march and I had a great time. The work is fair, organized and not that time consuming, so I could have a part time job at a restaurant on the side. Even though Hervey Bay is a small town, it’s dynamic with all the backpackers, and the living with the other volunteers, going to karaoke, trivia
… read more nights, local pubs and restaurants, beach days and just talking for hours in the hammocks made the experience so wholesome and fun. I’m really grateful that I decided to go there and have a peaceful, safe base for while, so I could recharge for my upcoming travels.

Staying with Meg and Brent was wonderful. Housekeeping in the morning for two to three hours, shared between 3 people was fair and straightforward work. The accommodation is so pretty and everyone was friendly and I was made to feel at home.hervey bay is lovely, cycling down the font and seeing the whales was a dream. Great experience.

I stayed with Megan and Brent for aproximitly two months. From the end of October till the beginning of January 2024.

There is a room for the volunteers with a kitchen but you can also meet the guests in a very nice kitchen to socialice.
Megan and Brent were allways very appreciative for the work and made sure that there was a comfortable atmosphare.
They are very busy though so if one expectes to spend a lot of time with them as hosts it might not be in the right place.
Which doesn't mean that there was no exchange!
Megan taught me how to do pilates and we had a lot of very enriching conversations.
Brent let me use a couple of his tools for my art projects, explained a lot about australien ways of doing things and made sure to let me know about the indigenous animals around and plants on the property.
I can highly recommend the two of them as hosts and hope to meet them again.
Thank you very much for the opportunity I learnt a lot and was very happy to be with you!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

What I especially liked is that Megan and Brent really care about making sure the job is done well, that you clean well, and that it ends up being perfect for the guests. Which also means that sometimes a deep cleaning is required in a room. Deep cleaning takes more time but is not heavy or hard work.
The location is beautiful and quiet and the beach is very close.
It is really pleasant to work here, I definitely recommend this host to others!!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

This was a really great first Workaway experience for me. Hervey Bay is a great place to go to relax and Urangan peer and the botanic gardens are both nice places to visit. Also, if you like yoga, there are lots of really good yoga studios to go to before or after work. The work is only for a couple hours a day and consists of relatively simple

I spent about a month here to kick off my Working Visa, and I couldn't have asked for better! The work was easy to learn, takes only about 1.5 to 3 hours in the morning (usually about 2 hrs.), and Brent and Megan were really good natured and helpful.
Hervey Bay is a very quiet town, with not too much to see (don't miss the pier, Saturday markets
… read more or botanical gardens!), but there's always the beach. I probably wouldn't spend a full month here, if I were to do it over, but there's plenty to keep you occupied for two to three weeks. Also, Fraser!
The only thing I didn't like as much is that the staff house kitchen and guest kitchen were separated, so you didn't run into the guests as often. Still, it was great hanging with the other staff!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

The job is very straightforward and fair either. On average it is around 1,5 o sometimes 2h or less, depending how much guests checking out you have and the amount of other helpers that you have.
Then you have the rest of the day to chill out on the beach, go to the gym on the beach or hang out with other helpers. In exchange you get a big well equipated house shared with other helpers next to the hostel. There are helpers from all of the world coming and leaving and it is a good point if you wanna improve your English. At the house you have all what you need,such as your own kitchen, cutlery, pans, coaches, etc.
About Megan and Brent I just have good words. Both of them welcoming every morning with a smile on his face and always willing to explain you all what you need and making it easy. They want to give a good experience to the guests and try to make clear to the helpers to do the cleaning at high standards, as you would like to have when you go to a accommodation. They gave a discounts in two tours which I really appreciate it. Thanks and looking to visits you soon!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.
