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.

We had a really good time at Joans. I can just recommend it. Joan is really welcoming and kind. She makes really nice food for you every day ( you can decide if it is breakfast, lunch or diner). She takes a lot of effort into her volunteers and makes sure that everyone feels good. The volunteering was more then fair. We helped for example to clean her land from the palm leaves or stuff like that. She also drives you almost everywhere you want. The apartment she owns is a dream. You can see kangaroos and other animals everyday. Also the beach and the pool is a dream. Thanks for all❤️

You were both really easy to host for. I appreciate all you did for me, and enjoyed the culteral exchange.

Joan is a person with a big heart who will make your volunteering an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, you can feel her attention and care to make sure you feel comfortable.

The property is located on a plot with a picturesque landscape that you simply can’t get enough of. The uniqueness of this place also attracts the instincts of the local wildlife, which seem to mistake it for a nature reserve.
The meals served are delicious not a monotonous home-cooked lunch, but rather a creative restaurant.

The work is clear and approached with understanding. Priceless time there 😊

Loved, loved, loved this experience and opportunity! Joanie was so kind, so informative, and so understanding! I unfortunately didn’t feel to great a few days after arriving and she let me take the time to really heal! The property also gives its own sense of healing all on its own! Two things that stood out to me the most was her preplanning what she needed help with and then checking with me if it was something I could do, and then her wiliness to transport for any exploration that I wanted! Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you so much 🫶🙏

Morgan your help, your initiative and great communication meant that your stay worked out well for me too. It pained me to see you unwell, however, I'm so glad you were able to relax and heal before leaving. I have your momento on the back of my door to see every day!
For the record, you contributed to me achieving a fitness goal, you kept those vege gardens alive, and we sorted the pineapple patch and the nature strip alongside the property. Your contribution in the kitchen was awesome 👏

Joan was a great host. She taught me some new recipes and was very respectful of my diet. She showed me the local area and provided good opportunities to see the surrounding sites and town. The work expected was very reasonable and could be completed in a timely manner.
