Program Details

We live on acreage in the Gold Coast Hinterland in Bonogin, 15 mins and 15km away from the closest shops: Mudgeeraba/Robina so you must have your own vehicle as there is NO public transport. The roads are not safe for walking, running or cycling on.

In exchange for work (an average of 10 hours per week) we will offer accommodation. It could be a few hours per day, or all done over a few days. Off street parking, WIFI, electricity and water are included in the accommodation.

Activities & Shift

The work can be done at anytime, so I consider Saturday, Sunday & public holidays work days as well. Work time depends on the weather: whether it’s too hot to work, or raining, whether I’m available or you are. Some people who stay work outside of the home as well, to earn an income.
