A Little Piece of Paradise

This little piece of paradise is a large (Double house block) property, that is beachfront and nature reserve surrounding the house.
You will enjoy an airconditioned private room with organic cotton sheets, and everything supplied for bathroom, laundry and kitchen including one meal a day. If you like coconuts, we will harvest some wild growing on the beach and eat them (I love free food!)

I treat people as I expect to be treated... with kindness, I'm generous and have respect for you, your cultural differences and sensitive to your needs. I provide a safe environment and you have a lockable bedroom.

I had the most lovely and wholesome experience staying with Joan. It was a true Aussie experience as you’re well immersed and surrounded by wildlife and kangaroos! The property is gorgeous and Joan really goes above and beyond to make your stay welcoming and enjoyable. The work is more than manageable and Joan is always clear with what needs to be done and makes sure you have lots of rest and relaxation. I really enjoyed the beach, trips to Little Crystal Creek and the wildlife at Billabong which Joan was happy to drive me to.

Thankyou Niamh for your kind words. I will always remember you, your support , your sharing , your work ethic and your beauty inside and out! You were easy to host for, and I appreciate the effort and costs it would have cost you to travel to regional North Queensland. Thankyou.

My stay with Joan was the best possible start to my Aussie adventure! First off, her home is a beautiful beachside house surrounded by wildlife and nature, there is no shortage of critters that come by. The work is very manageable, she is extremely fair with the tasks she assigns. Joan is an excellent host, she made me feel very welcomed and appreciated. Her home cooked dinners are to die for, and she is more than happy to take you exploring and to touristy destinations! Thank you Joan for ensuring I had an excellent experience with you, much appreciated!
