I spend about 4 month here.
It located near beach and there are some groceries, bar, cafe, restaurant and shopping mall, so it's easy to go anywhere.
I'm not much of a talkertive person, but enjoyed communicating and I really cherish the times I got to chat with Meg, Brent and everyone from Workaway.
Thank you so much!!

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.
