The Experience

It's tough for one person to juggle every task — but if you are here to make delicious and nutritious vegan meals at home, then it frees me up to work on other jobs on the property. (Plus, it's just so nice to eat and be inspired by what someone else cooks!) The kitchen is well-equipped, including dishwasher, bread maker, pizza oven, food processor etc., and has a large bench space.

Truly a wonderful experience. I felt very safe and comfortable from day one, Jess and her family welcome everyone with open arms. Tasks are variable, there's plenty of time to unwind and get to know the people and the land. We did a couple of visits to nearby villages, but a few weeks just flew by here. Definitely would go again! Thank you Jess!❤️

Staying with Jess and her two kids was a real privilege! I ended up spending more time there than firstly planned and it was amazing, the tasks are fun and diverse and Jess always makes sure that you do things that you want and that you're not outworking yourself. If you want to join a beautiful family and help with a lot of really cool projects in an awesome place, it is definitely worth it. Thank you for everything Jess, you are amazing.

Jess and the boys are amazing! The whole farm is a safe space and you can see the real bush life in Aus :) I had a really great time there and I'm glad I got the opportunity to spend a month at that beautiful place.

Jess and her kids are some amazing people to share my time with. I had heaps of fun playing with the kids, seeing some unique wildlife, and kick in' with Jess when the kids were down. As long as you are looking for a bush experience and understand the nature that comes with it you will love this experience. It is secluded, but there are wonderful ways to spend your time and wonderful in the community when you get to interact with them.

We just had a great time with Jess. She and her two little boys are really heart-warming and welcoming people. Our job was mainly to choose the meals for dinner and prepare them for the family and ourselves, which was great fun. Jess gave us tips on what to do in our leisure time such as going on a little adventure hike and she even involved us in her everyday life and took us with her, which gave us a great insight into her life. We had a wonderful time, I can only recommend it to anyone!
