Farm life by the beach Sunshine Coast Australia

I had a nice time staying at the farm. The tasks were mostly related to gardening, such as weeding and mulching, and my daily responsibility was to take care of the chickens in the mornings. Alina is a nice host, she's very flexible with the working schedule and always helped me when I needed a lift to and from Yandina. The house is modern, and it's a stunning property altogether. Bev is a wonderful lady who kept me company and was always down for a chat. Overall, it was a nice experience. Oh, and the food provided was good. Alina listened to my needs and bought good-quality groceries.

The main job is to weed, all day on the floor with a lot of sun, the sheets were stained with pee, most of the food they give you is expired, even from the year 2021, you have to constantly insist that you have no food left and when they give you something it is something else expired, they made me make a list of what I wanted from the supermarket but I still don't buy any of that, also the room had spider webs just like the Pantry,. Is necessary to have your own transport. I felt humiliated the truth of working so hard not even to receive food in good condition.

I’m terribly sorry you felt that way! This is the first and only bad review in the entire period of 2yrs, hosting our wonderful volunteers around the world It’s a shame no complaint whatsoever ever was made during your stay and if substantiated, something could have been done. I do not believe your comment on the linen is correct at all & a total exaggeration everywhere else but it does explain your unfriendly & rude demeanour.

My fiancé and I got to enjoy 4 weeks on the hobby farm and Sunshine Coast! We would highly recommend you rent a car or moped (we got a moped in Noosa) to have your own wheels so you can explore. You are a 45 minute walk from the nearest bus transportation, so be aware. Bev and Alina are very kind and welcome people into their home. Groceries provided were great! There is always plenty of work to do so you will have a full 5 hours on work days. We helped with a drain pipe, laying gravel, watering plants, building structures. Alina loves her chickens & ducks so take great care of them! :)

Thank you both for your lovely review! It was a pleasure having you on the farm for those four weeks. You brought great energy and made a real difference with all the work you helped with—especially the drainage and gravel! I’m glad you enjoyed the Sunshine Coast and made the most of your time here. The chickens and ducks miss you already! Wishing you both the best on your journey ahead!

I recommend this destination to anyone willing and ready to work hard and complete large tasks on the farm! The surrounding land is beautiful and the home itself is very modern. The projects were assigned based on ability so be honest with what you can/can't do and Alina will find something that fits those parameters. I would highly recommend some personal transportation as the closest bus stop is a 45-minute walk away. Alina is willing and can take you places but just like everyone else she has things going on and won't be available 24/7. We rented a moped from Scootermania in Noosa!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was a pleasure having you here, and I really appreciate your honesty and hard work during your stay. I’m glad you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the house—it’s always lovely to hear when guests appreciate both the nature and the comfort!

You’re absolutely right about the importance of clear communication regarding tasks—everyone has different strengths, and I always try to match projects to what suits each person best. All the best!

Alina was a very relaxed host. She also drove us to the closest town (when she had time) and i also had fun with Bev (her mother, 86 and cheeky as hell... i love her ^^). Alina is very flexible with working hours and you just work what was agreed beforehand! Because Alina is very busy it could be, that you need to remind her regarding groceries! We enjoyed staying with Alina and Beth very much 😎👍

I appreciate your flexibility and help around the farm. And yes, a little grocery reminder now and then never hurts! Wishing you all the best on your travels, and you’re welcome back anytime for more laughs and farm fun!

We had a pretty good time staying with Alina and her mom. There are many different tasks to do, so you can pick what fits you the best most of the time (hard physical work, gardening cleaning, cooking..). Tasks are communicated clear and you are welcomed to ask again if you are not sure about something. Also it's pretty flexible what hours you work, as long it's 5h a day. As we didn't have any car, Alina picked us up from the train station and brought us there at the end of our stay. Also she gave us a lift to Noosa Heads and other places.

Wishing you safe and happy travels ahead—you’re always welcome back!

My three weeks with Alina and her mother were amazing. They made me feel so comfortable that I felt at home since the first day. You won't socialize much, but if you like nature and peace, this is an ideal place for you to stay. I am sure you will be very well looked after. They are beautiful people. I am missing them already.

The host made me feel very welcome! Alina is an excellent woman, she lives in a beautiful house surrounded by nature. In addition, her mother lives there, a very adorable lady with whom I also shared a lot of time. Also Alina helped me a lot, she picked me up from the airport and then brought me to my next destination. Having a single room is super comfortable, so that's a plus. The work is quite physical, I did a lot of gardening, and on hot days it is heavy, but she is very flexible with the tasks and schedules.
