Crescent Moon
Crescent Head is a true coastal paradise that captivates the senses and delights the soul. Nestled along Australia's stunning northern coast, this picturesque destination offers a magical combination of pristine beaches, perfect surfing waves and a serene atmosphere that invites contemplation and relaxation.
Gudrun, Kevin and a gorgeous golden kelpie named Yuli are the founders of Crescent Moon, a 100 acre environmentally-protected property by the sea in Crescent Head. Kevin is a furniture maker and antique restorer and Gudrun is a former journalist. Together we host up to 60 people at a time on our property: 20 people in the three oiled weatherboard houses and 40 campers. We have one permanent staff member, Darrin, who tends the land with care and delicacy but to run Crescent Moon well, we need like-minded house-keepers and handymen or women to join our team.

About the experience in: Crescent Head, Australia
United States
I had a great experience working with Gudrun, Kevin and of course Yuli (their super sweet kelpie). The caravan is super cozy and equipped with everything you need. The work itself is diverse which i found quite nice. Most days i would be doing something different; watering, a bit of woodworking, cleaning, raking etc. They were clear on their expectations but were not micromanaging. They gave me the responsibility and let me sort out my hours and were extremely flexible. In terms of location, it’s great for nature. If you’re a keen surfer you can’t beat this spot.

About the experience in: Crescent Head, Australia
Ireland
I would definitely recommend Crescent Moon, I’m so grateful for this experience. It is a beautiful part of the world, surrounded by stunning nature with the beach just across the road. Gudrun and Kevin are such welcoming hosts and were very generous. Yulli, their lovely Kelpie is a great companion for walks on the beach! The caravan where you stay is quaint and comfortable. The balance of work and free time suited me perfectly because while I enjoyed putting in the hours in exchange for accommodation, I also valued the time-off as it gave me the chance to explore the area and unwind.
