A couple owns a beautiful property in a the home, far from downtown. You can only go out on your days off with a car. The property is dedicated to wildlife conservation, providing a serene place to connect with nature and yourself. The couple shares their knowledge of Buddhism, offers delicious food, and provides a comfortable home. The work is hard but flexible, allowing you to choose your schedule and tasks. On free days, they take you to beautiful natural spots. They are knowledgeable about culture and nature, especially birds, which you can see from the house.

Jo-Ann and David are friendly and welcoming people. Work is sometimes hard especially when it is really hot. Be aware that it is really far from everything, so not much things to do after work hours.

It is a place surrounded by nature and wildlife, far from the city, a town or just a business to buy things. They both know a lot about Australia's native fauna and flora. The work is hard, but if you like being in contact with nature and physical effort, you will have a good time. We loved the work because we saw a lot of native flora and fauna. You are 10 kilometers from the nearest town and there are no buses, so if you want to buy something it should've on your day off, where they used to buy groceries at the town. if you are a good eater, we recommend you bring extra snacks.

It was hard, physical work everyday but it was so much fun! I spent most of my time collecting sticks and tree limbs from pathways, removing Lantana, spreading wood chips, and digging out tree stumps. Jo-Ann and David are lovely hosts, so kind and know lots about local wildlife and everything there is to do around the Tweed Valley! An isolated property so don't expect to leave the property outside of days off, was perfect for a decompressing time away from cities!

I really enjoyed my time with David and Jo-Anne. We got on great and true to their description, they treat visitors like family and are extremely knowledgeable about the local area. I worked on refurbishing some outdoor benches, weeding/landscaping, and hauling downed limbs away. It's a quiet stay away from any big cities, but they will take you on excursions and if you tell them what interests you, they'll try to cater to that. E.g. I told them I liked animals, so they took me to a wildlife sanctuary. Great place if a quiet time the home Australian country/outdoors is what you're looking for!
