The Experience
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Blue Mountains. If you're looking for a fulfilling, enjoyable way to work while getting some fresh air and exercise, consider helping us get the garden looking desirable. Experienced gardeners & cleaners will blossom here - the gardening is mainly weeding, so non-experienced gardeners are also welcome. You'll work as a team under supervision and have plenty of time to get out and explore nature.

I had a great stay in Katoomba. Lynn is lovely and welcoming, and the house felt like home. The balance between work and time off was good. I had time on my off days to explore the beautiful nature in the area around

This was a wonderful and very hands on experience! Lynn was so kind and relaxed. She set us off with tasks which kept me busy the whole time. She was trusting and left us to it which I really liked. There's plenty to do to keep busy. The home itself is super cosy and has everything you need. The best part of all is the location - so many breathtaking places to explore which I absolutely loved!

OMG. Lynn is a sweetheart and a wonderful host. The accommodations are fabulous. Your own room in a beautiful home that you share with other workaways. I absolutely loved my time here. I weeded, power washed the beautiful court yard, painted a shed, transplated succulents, did some cleaning in her home as she is Airbnbing it. The town of Katoomba is wonderful and a 3 minute walk from her door. The train is a 10 minute walk if you want to explore, but right at her door step are incredible hikes to beautiful waterfalls, parks, trails, lookouts, etc. Do not pass this one up!! Thank you Lynn!!

I had a lovely time staying at Lynn's in the Blue Mountains. The accommodation was great and it had everything I needed. Lynn was very welcoming and the tasks were mainly gardening / weeding so not too strenuous but enough to keep me busy for the short time I was there.

Lynn was so lovely and kind, she helped make the blue mountains feel like home. The house and the room were super cosy and a great location to get around to explore the town / surrounding areas. Lynn was really clear and concise about what she expected, she makes a mean sourdough too!
