I had a really nice week with the family. The work is easy and they are very easy going! The caravan was nice as well, but a bit cold in the night, as it had no heating. The area around their house is beautiful with creeks and nature surrounding it. It was a great break from traveling!

I had such an amazing time staying with Jack's family out in nature. I did things like chopping wood and cleaning the house — it was nice being part of their daily life. The air was so fresh, and the stars at night were absolutely stunning. Every day was fun hanging out with Jack's children. They're so lively and adorable, always full of energy and smiles. I feel really lucky to have spent time with them in such a beautiful place.

Jack and Kate are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I've ever met! They are so laid back and fun to be around. I had a great time here with them and their kids! They always made sure to include me in activities and were very understanding and easy to communicate with. I'm gonna miss these guys a lot as they made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

It was such a pleasure staying with the family! We felt very welcome and respected. We had good communication before and during our stay, and also had lovely conversations with them and learned a lot about Australia. We didn't have our own car but the family was very flexible with carpooling and helping us get to the station or Sunshine Coast. In terms of work, it was very manageable and didn't take much of our time. We mostly helped clean the kitchen and keeping the main rooms tidy. Besides that, we spend some time cleaning the family yacht and car, and spent time with the kids. We recommend

I am very grateful for this experience. Jack and his family were a safe space for us, and their dog Bella is a pure soul. We had great conversations, and they showed us the area where they live, making us feel wonderful. We will never forget this experience, and I am incredibly thankful to have been a part of the family.
