I had a great time at Rachael's! She and the kids were lovely and I felt welcomed, even though I was on my own for a lot of the time. She and I worked out a schedule were I had a lot of time to explore the area, which I greatly appreciated. The work wasn't too hard, and my time was always respected. I would recommend this experience!

Rachael is an amazing person! She's very kind, and her family is wonderful! I had a beautiful experience and I'm really grateful for the opportunity. The house is very nice and has everything you need; the neighborhood is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the bus stop is very close. I learned a lot and had a great week in Cairns! I definitely recommend this experience. Thank you so much Rachael! Vale
