🏡 Home Help & Odd Jobs in a Splendid Large Home

The experience

We offer friendly, fun stays at occasional times during the year 🌞. There’s almost always a group of 4–7 crew staying here, so it’s easy to make friends, do touristy stuff together, and generally just have a good time.

I work in entertainment and events, but most of the stay is just the usual day-to-day things — keeping a very large home clean and tidy, and doing plenty of work in the garden 🌿

Program Details

We just need a hand keeping our busy lives organized — from gardening and tidying up the storage shed to maintaining the pool 💦.

This experience is also about sharing good times and travel stories. We used to be avid travelers ourselves, and many amazing people shared things with us along the way — so now we love to pay it forward ❤️

The help is easy, relaxed, and social. We own a few boats and sometimes take guests to the offshore islands for diving with dolphins and seals. The property is surrounded by a nature reserve with kangaroos and scenic walking trails, yet it’s only 15 minutes from the international airport and 30 minutes to the city.

Activities & Shift

Caring for the pool, ponds, puppies, home, and garden 🐾🌺
Occasional cleaning or organizing projects
We have a large rear area I'd like to start landscaping one day! It is a very large property.

We usually work 3 days of around 6 hours each, leaving you 4 days off to explore or relax. Weekends are normally yours to enjoy.

Rules

Just the usual stuff:

🚭 No smoking inside
🐕 Please don’t let the dogs into certain areas (they can escape!)
🔇 Keep noise down late at night
🍽️ Clean up the kitchen after using it, etc.
