I had the most lovely and wholesome experience staying with Joan. It was a true Aussie experience as you're well immersed and surrounded by wildlife and kangaroos! The property is gorgeous and Joan really goes above and beyond to make your stay welcoming and enjoyable. The work is more than manageable and Joan is always clear with what needs to be done and makes sure you have lots of rest and relaxation. I really enjoyed the beach, trips to the home Crystal Creek and the wildlife at Billabong which Joan was happy to drive me to.

My stay with Joan was the best possible start to my Aussie adventure! First off, her home is a beautiful beachside house surrounded by wildlife and nature, there is no shortage of critters that come by. The work is very manageable, she is extremely fair with the tasks she assigns. Joan is an excellent host, she made me feel very welcomed and appreciated. Her home cooked dinners are to die for, and she is more than happy to take you exploring and to touristy destinations! Thank you Joan for ensuring I had an excellent experience with you, much appreciated!

Joan's house feels like the home, our stay was a 10/10. Joan is so sweet, once a day she conjured up a phenomenal meal for us, which we ate together. We had lots of great conversations and she always drove us on our excursions like Magnetic Island, secondhand shopping or line dancing. We felt so incredibly comfortable in her house, including the pool. Thank you from the bottom of our heart, Joan, for everything! You Maya and Evita🤍

I really felt like living in the home! All my time there with Joan was amazing, she is a divine cook and treated me with so much respect that I have nothing to say but thank her. She respects our time, our privacy and our tastes. Caring for that place was a privilege and being able to enjoy everything there even more, the beach, the pool, the gardens and even more the wild life. Waking up with kangaroos in my bedroom window was amazing. Joan also takes her time to take us around the city and see a lot of new places. This was a great opportunity and I would 100% do it again!

My time at Joan's was a great experience and a very memorable time. Her place is truly a getaway to a magical the home! Joanie is kind, caring & an excellent cook! 1 meal per day was offered, but each meal she cooked you could taste the amount of care and effort that went into it. All ingredients usually organic or picked straight from her garden! All tasks and jobs were discussed upon the first few days of arrival, we picked a project and stuck to it (while doing other the home jobs like tending to the garden, pool upkeep, etc). Working days were often rewarded with a treat or an adventure!

From the moment I met Joanie, her warmth and kindness were clear. Her home is a peaceful retreat, allowing you to fully embrace the relaxed lifestyle of Balgal Beach. The room felt like a home away from home—cozy and comfortable. Her garden is full of fresh produce—fruits, veggies, basil, and lemongrass—which she uses in her delicious, home-cooked meals. Joanie's generosity and care shine in everything she does, from cooking to conversation. The tasks were enjoyable and balanced with time to relax. And her chai tea? Absolutely perfect! I'm truly grateful for this amazing experience ❤️
