The Experience

Crescent Moon is a wilderness retreat set on 100 acres by the sea. This position would suit someone or a couple that would like to experience the beauty of Crescent Head but not pay for accomodation. A working holiday if you will! You will stay in a cute 76' model Viscount caravan with kitchen, wifi, a washing machine and bike in return for ten hours work a week. We pay $25 an hour beyond that but please don't book with us based on that.

I had a great experience working with Gudrun, Kevin and of course Yuli (their super sweet kelpie). The caravan is super cozy and equipped with everything you need. The work itself is diverse which i found quite nice. Most days i would be doing something different; watering, a bit of woodworking, cleaning, raking etc. They were clear on their expectations but were not micromanaging. They gave me the responsibility and let me sort out my hours and were extremely flexible. In terms of location, it's great for nature. If you're a keen surfer you can't beat this spot.

I would definitely recommend the reserve, I'm so grateful for this experience. It is a beautiful part of the world, surrounded by stunning nature with the beach just across the road. Gudrun and Kevin are such welcoming hosts and were very generous. Yulli, their lovely Kelpie is a great companion for walks on the beach! The caravan where you stay is quaint and comfortable. The balance of work and free time suited me perfectly because while I enjoyed putting in the hours in exchange for accommodation, I also valued the time-off as it gave me the chance to explore the area and unwind.
