Sorry no vacancies from middle of may until september( unless your a housesitter ???) PLEASE READ THE PROFILE AND REVIEWS BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE.. You dont need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife , to stay here. A nice , honest person is good enough This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies ,maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one farmer, 45 angus cattle, one dog,, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near KYOGLE, a quiet country town which is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay. Two hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National Park (bike ride away). I like to show people around.

We are located within walking distance of Fremantle centre near markets, grocery stores and public transport (bus at front door!) as well as a local coffee strip. It's a fully self-contained cottage with kitchen and bathroom. The helping exchange arrangement would be helping with repairs, landscaping and painting etc. It is on Wray Avenue, if you want to check location. It would be useful if you have had some experience with painting and renovation. We also have a beach house south of Fremantle and you could have an opportunity to visit this also. 2 hours a day would be fine and although food is not provided shopping is handy. We are able to assist with finding budget accommodation and sometimes we have access to seasonal work opportunities in county WA. Cheers

We are near the Shoalwater Marine Park and Penguin Island 40mins from Perth city centre. Very close to public transport, cafes and library. Ideal for beach walking, diving, swimming, cycling, fishing, sailing and windsurfing (beach is 60 metres away). Accommodation would take form of a fully insulated cute tiny garden room with access to cooking area and bathroom. It is small so please See photos. On week days we are usually working it Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. Right now we need help building a studio. If you know how to handle tools it would be useful! Similarly any experience with elec or plumbing might assist. We average two or three hours a day from Monday to Friday and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week. Free coffee, tea and a simple breakfast (i.e. Cereal, toast) included. Alas we can’t be there to offer other meals during week. On weekends we ...

Welcome Helpers, We have an opening for one female starting Sunday, April 29th, 2024. You'll be sharing the space with a French male. The next available slot is on May 29th for two females. However, please send a message to let us know if you're in the area, as helpers travel plans can change and there may be availability. Please don't text me, send a request via the Helpx platform.

We have a vacancy from the 2nd April. Looking for some heavy lifting help in clearing some ponds. We are a small fish farm located on the Sunshine Coast of South East Queensland. We are just 45 minutes north of Brisbane and 50 minutes south of Noosa Heads. If you have heard of Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter, we are only 15 minutes away Australia Zoo and 20 minutes away from the closest surf beach. Your own transport will allow you more flexibility as we live in the middle of a forest but we are happy to get you to and from the closest transport if you require it and show you some of the local area when time permits.

Once again we are looking to grow our dream in another direction now and hoping that some of you out there might be interested in coming and hav...

Firstly, and quite apart from normal Helpx help..., I am seeking someone to stay in my humble home and look after my young kelpie dog from mid July till early August while I am away for a couple of weeks. This person must be quite mature and responsible. I am also offering a very special place to stay and park your camper van(or similar) on my little slice of nature. Positioned beside a winter creek line and in a very unique position as it is tucked on the edge of a Karri forest...., populated by emu, kangaroo and lots of birds ?

The wet summer means we are a bit overwhelmed with garden chores, we'd love some help in taming the lush green. Over the past year we (Dona and Manning) have hosted a number of helpx willing workers over a longer term and enjoyed the experience immensely. We are looking for motivated, mature couple or friends who can share and exchange experiences and skills. We are happy to host helpxers without a vehicle but please be aware that there is no public transport close which means you can be a little isolated . We offer a self contained flat away from the main residence, which includes bathroom facilities, own laundry, and a basic kitchen. There is a Queen bedroom suite room and a second room with a single bed. The flat is fully furnished, has a TV, fridge, microwave, small oven, basic kitchen appliances, a large east facing deck, and off street parking. The property is around 4.5 acres situated an hour from Brisbane, in sunny south east Queensland. We are centrally located within 1 ho...

Hi Everyone Garlic harvest is finished. But its time to prepare ground and to plant the new crop of garlic! At the moment we are still harvesting vegetables and preserving and selling the excess at a local market.. Apples are in full swing and it is a very good year. Cheers! Hi HELPERS! Impressed! You must have had to do some digging to find our Host page as we are revamping it. YES, there is room for you as a long or short stay timeline is not a problem if all are happy! The revamp means that accommodation is in the main house and in the Pallet Palace about a hundred metres away. Cabe is a young guy (to us 30 is a young guy) who started a market garden on our property six years ago and it has mushroomed into a small village! He and mate Johnny are pulling up stakes as they have bought land! There is a communal kitchen, huts, greenhouses and a number of accommodation styles. We just finished painting out the Pallet Palace and it’s looking good. It’s a sustainable lifestye ...

We are located within walking distance of Fremantle centre near markets, grocery stores and public transport (bus at front door!) as well as a local coffee strip. It's a fully self-contained cottage with kitchen and bathroom. The helping exchange arrangement would be helping with repairs, landscaping and painting etc. It is on Wray Avenue, if you want to check location. It would be useful if you have had some experience with painting and renovation. We also have a beach house south of Fremantle and you could have an opportunity to visit this also. 2 hours a day would be fine and although food is not provided shopping is handy. We are able to assist with finding budget accommodation and sometimes we have access to seasonal work opportunities in county WA. Cheers

We are near the Shoalwater Marine Park and Penguin Island 40mins from Perth city centre. Very close to public transport, cafes and library. Ideal for beach walking, diving, swimming, cycling, fishing, sailing and windsurfing (beach is 60 metres away). Accommodation would take form of a fully insulated cute tiny garden room with access to cooking area and bathroom. It is small so please See photos. On week days we are usually working it Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. Right now we need help building a studio. If you know how to handle tools it would be useful! Similarly any experience with elec or plumbing might assist. We average two or three hours a day from Monday to Friday and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week. Free coffee, tea and a simple breakfast (i.e. Cereal, toast) included. Alas we can’t be there to offer other meals during week. On weekends we ...

We are a nudist couple and can host helpers now or other times during 2024. At the moment we need help with weeding of walking trails, repairing the road and maintaining firebreaks. We only accept people wanting to embrace the freedom of the Nudist Lifestyle.

Welcome Helpers, We have an opening for one female starting Sunday, April 29th, 2024. You'll be sharing the space with a French male. The next available slot is on May 29th for two females. However, please send a message to let us know if you're in the area, as helpers travel plans can change and there may be availability. Please don't text me, send a request via the Helpx platform. Our place is suitable for travellers who have been on the road for a while and are seeking a break from crowded backpacker accommodations. If you've just started your travels, living alone here may feel too isolated, and you might prefer to meet people in backpacker hostels, especially younger travellers. We are a family of four, and I manage my own Airbnb studio. Our place may appeal to you if you're looking for a sea change and some independent private space away from crowded and expensive backpacker accommodations. We expect helpers to contribute 2.5 hours of work daily. We're located just a 2-minu...

We are just 45 minutes north of Brisbane and 50 minutes south of Noosa Heads.

It is almost 10 years since we last participated in the Helpx program. We have formed many long term friendships with the helpers that have been generous enough to come and assist us in building our dream here on the farm.

Over the past year we (Dona and Manning) have hosted a number of helpx willing workers over a longer term and enjoyed the experience immensely. We are looking for motivated, mature couple or friends who can share and exchange experiences and skills.

There is a Queen bedroom suite room and a second room with a single bed. The flat is fully furnished, has a TV, fridge, microwave, small oven, basic kitchen appliances, a large east facing deck, and off street parking.

Hi Everyone Garlic harvest is finished. But its time to prepare ground and to plant the new crop of garlic! At the moment we are still harvesting vegetables and preserving and selling the excess at a local market.. Apples are in full swing and it is a very good year. Cheers! Hi HELPERS! Impressed!

The revamp means that accommodation is in the main house and in the Pallet Palace about a hundred metres away. Cabe is a young guy (to us 30 is a young guy) who started a market garden on our property six years ago and it has mushroomed into a small village! He and mate Johnny are pulling up stakes as they have bought land! There is a communal kitchen, huts, greenhouses and a number of accommodation styles.
