Jenness was such a lovely host! She made me feel very welcome right from the start. I had such amazing conversations and felt at home away from home. I spent a week on the Sunshine Coast and it was such a treat being able to volunteer here. The work was super rewarding and also very easy. Jenness was so nice to drive/pick me up to places, help me navigate the area, cook beautiful meals, provide a lovely room, and overall was the best host I've had. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a genuine and lovely Australian experience! Thank you so much, Jenness ❤️. Will miss you !

Jenness is one of if not the best host someone could ask for. The work was not overwhelming and mainly involved doing garden maintenance, and painting porches. Food was incredible! Every day for breakfast lunch and dinner Jenness had wonderful meals prepared. When we were not working Jenness was an incredible guide taking us on many waterfall hikes and driving us to the bus stop to get around. Her house is beautiful and very clean. A 6 star experience!

Jenness is an absolute gem, truly our Australian mother! She went out of her way to make our stay unforgettable, driving us everywhere, planning activities, and always making sure we were happy and comfortable. Her home is stunning, cozy cabin vibes with breathtaking views, and her cooking is incredible. The house was spotless, the food amazing, and the company even better. If I could give her six stars, I would. Anyone would be lucky to stay with Jenness! ❤️

Our experience with Jenness was truly amazing. From the very first moment, she made us feel so cared for. Her house is beautiful, super cozy, clean and well-kept- and she was always cooking delicious meals. It really felt like home.

She showed us magical places. Jenness is kind, generous and incredibly supportive. She helped us with everything and made us feel part of her family. We 100% recommend her to any traveler!

I recommend this volunteering to anyone looking for an Australian experience. I truly enjoyed my time with Jenness and the other volunteers. Jenness is a wonderful person, sweet and kind. She was always making sure we had everything we needed. She cooked a delicious meals and most of all, she showed us a beautiful hiking places, beaches and lovely waterfalls. The house was just peaceful, I really appreciated watching the charming view from the terrace. Plus, I learned a lot about gardening. It was a pleasure to helped her. I will always remember my stay there.

Jenness is the best! I could leave the review there, but that wouldn't be useful for future worldpackers. Jenness warmly welcomed us into her incredible home, and we felt completely at home during our stay. The work in the garden was full on, and warm on a few days for a weak Brit, but was exactly what was described in the advert and very rewarding. Once the work was finished in the morning, we were off exploring the beach, local creeks and hikes with Jenness and John which was lovely. The food was amazing and we never felt hungry, if anything too full sometimes. A real Aussie family feel ❤️

We had an amazing stay with Jenness and it has been a highlight of our trip to Australia. We got to work each day at 7:30 (before it got too hot) and would know what part of the garden we were tackling first. We often had music playing, had great chats and a good laugh whilst working. Mid morning we would stop for a tea break and often a delicious cake which Jenness had baked! We had lots of amazing food during our stay. After midday we often explored the local area which was so beautiful! The gardening work was very rewarding and I would highly recommend the experience.

The loveliest host you could ever hope to have! Jenness and I had a great week together and often went exploring when we weren't working in the house or garden. Jenness is extremely kind and welcoming and made me feel completely at home during my time on the Sunshine Coast. I would recommend volunteering in the garden with her to anyone :)

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Jenness over the past few days. She was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Our stay was filled with many lovely conversations covering all manner of different topics. Jenness was a wealth of knowledge on the area and gave us multiple great recommendations for things to do and see during our stay. The work on the garden itself was very rewarding and quite often interrupted for tea and cake, which was an added bonus. We'd both happily return for another stay in the future.
