The Experience

I'm an artist and widow living on a 48-hectare (120-acre) bush property by the Gloucester River, near Barrington Tops. I'm seeking help to maintain this serene place, which needs some TLC. In return, I offer cozy accommodation in a caravan or spare room and provide 3 meals a day. The tasks are physical but rewarding. Couples are welcomed to join this peaceful, creative environment. Come and help care this unique property and enjoy the area!

I had a great stay at Tracey's, and it was extra fun taking care of Mirri, Valkyrie and Misty!! Work consists of feeding the wild birds in the morning, and the cat, dog and horse in the evening. I also loved making our dinner and playing board games after that's shared with laughter and conversations. If you truly love the quiet, laidback and nature, this is a great place to volunteer in!! There are also days where you'll be out of town w her to do some errands, and meet her friends. Lovely stay, Tracey!! Thank you for the experience 🤍🌳🦘✨

This experience with Tracey was truly heartwarming. Her place at Gloucester is absolutely beautiful, and I had the chance to meet and connect with the locals through her. Tracey was always so encouraging and supportive - I'm a complete beginner in the kitchen. I did so much things for the first time, and learned so much - even how to da Tim Tam Slam haha! Thank you Tracey for this experience!

Tracey is a very warm person who makes you feel immediately at home. I really enjoyed having good conversations with her and improving my English. When you stay with Tracey, you are responsible for cooking dinner. I really enjoyed cooking dishes from my home country in the well-equipped kitchen. In the evenings, we always chatted, played a game, or watched a movie. Her sweet cat loves strangers and is very affectionate and loves to be petted.

Tracey is such a kind and wonderful host. Her home is surrounded by beautiful nature and lovely animals, and inside, everything is cozy and well-equipped — especially the charming kitchen! I had the chance to meet real local people through her, and they were all very warm and friendly to me. Even though my English isn't good, everyone was so understanding. I'll never forget the adorable animals and Tracey's kindness. Thanks to her, I'm leaving Gloucester with unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and animals.
