The Experience

Join us on a peaceful 7½-acre property in Noosa Hinterland! We’re looking for volunteers to help with gardening, weeding, pruning, and light construction. The property features extensive gardens, organic crops, and wildlife refuge plants. Guests stay in a self-contained dwelling with a fire pit, and we offer vegetarian/vegan meals. Experience sustainable living and nature in this tranquil, off-the-grid environment.

My experience at Fry's place was fantastic. Fry is incredibly kind and patient — always willing to explain things carefully and make sure you understand what to do. He's also very generous with his time, often offering to take you around and show you the beautiful surroundings. The property itself is stunning, surrounded by nature and full of peace and wildlife. It's the perfect place to disconnect, learn, and enjoy a sustainable lifestyle.

Lovely stay at Marks! Comfortable accommodation, fair & flexible work hours, and wonderful meals every night. Mark is very generous with giving rides in to town or to hikes on your days off. Would highly recommend this host :)

Unforgettable experience. Awesome biodiversity. Comfy and private accommodation. Straight forward work and flexible hours. Great place to learn about permaculture. The host was supportive and caring. We had many interesting conversations over dinner with his friends + family and I enjoyed meeting everyone. I hope to return in the future and would recommend it to anyone looking to get immersed in nature.

Mark was a really kind and amicable host. He made us feel really welcome in his home and we really loved getting to know him and taking part in enjoyable discussions. The work was very fair and Mark himself took us to some amazing places. Definitely a memorable experience.

I had an amazing stay at Marks Place! He is a great host, very friendly and caring. He will let you chose between tasks and also gives you amazing options for your days off and shows you around. He even showed me how to do mosaic works, which I really liked. Very lovely experience, would recommend :)
