Hello travellers! My name is Liam and I’m looking for some help landscaping ahead of building a sauna on my property. Guests will have their own room, with queen bed, wifi, and located only 15 minutes to Hobart CBD. About me: I’m in my early 30ies and work full time in town. I love getting out there all over tassie, including mountain biking, fossicking, rock climbing, saunas (obviously) and hiking. Closer to home, I enjoy baking, board games and woodworking. I travelled a lot in my early twenties and did a lot of couch surfing, and hosted back here in Aus. I love the community feel and cultural exchange that happens thanks to couch surfing and am really excited to host more people via HelpX. You and your stay: I’m happy to host a couple or individuals and could potentially host two couples. We’ll be sharing the space including bathroom and kitchen facilities. I want everyone to feel at home and you’re very welcome to join me on social and weekend adventures, including rock climb...

Hi there- we are offering accomodation in a beautifully fitted out off grid bus on a peaceful, private property in Yelgun, Northern NSW. In exchange we are looking for help with brush cutting, mowing, general garden maintenance, painting and occasional dog walking/minding. If you have any carpentry/building skills that would be a bonus as we are building a chicken coop! Own transport is essential as there is no public transport nearby and the driveway is 900m long. Two families and 3 dogs live on the property 50m and 100m from the bus respectively. We look forward to hearing from you! Sophie and Simon

Hi There We are a family-owned registered dog breeding and rearing business on our 14-acre hobby farm in the northern part of Victoria. It's flat country with picturesque canola fields in yellow bloom, gumtrees, dirt roads and a huge clear blue sky. Our home is conveniently situated between three towns less than 15km away, one of which is a big town(Echuca) for all major shopping and other recreation. We are a homeschooling family with Christian values consisting of myself (Jacques), my wife (Simone) and our two children (Rachel and Jonathan). On our farm we also have an orchard and chickens. But we spend most of our time with our Border Collie dogs and puppies, which is what we need help with. Our home is only 2 hours away from Melbourne, so you can easily take a weekend off and drive to Melbourne for a visit. We are looking for an enthusiastic person/persons who love animals, especially dogs, to come and stay with us and give us a hand on the farm. We need people who are hardworking ...

We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, upgrading a dinghy to fit a roof and remote steering, repairs to trailer and for help with early morning gardening, housekeeing, cooking and dog walking on the beach. We are looking for reasonably good DIY handymen and women, capable of working effectively, when necessary, on your own or as a pair and, ideally, someone who also has some gardening experience, but that is not really necessary, learn on the job! 😉👍. So you need to be a "morning person" who is happy to start work at 07.00 hr, at least five mornings a week, not a night-owl. This is to avoid the heat of the afternoons at this time of year, mornings ca n be beautiful. Much of the work will be outside, based out of a well-equipped, air-conditioned, woodworking workshop and/or in our vegetable garden and hen and duck coops, just over 100 meters from a very quiet, sandy beach.🧜♂️ Opportunities on your day off include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, weat...

For over 20 years, we have hosted backpackers happy for a chance to take a break from travelling for a few months. We require 2 days’ work per week on Tuesdays and Fridays. Most of the work is either gardening: including raking, digging, mulching, weeding and removing dead or fallen branches; or housekeeping: spring cleaning the main Homestead, or washing windows, cleaning gutters or decobwebbing around our guest cottage. Also there are general tasks like collecting firewood or filling pot-holes in the driveway. The work is not exciting, but the environment is beautiful! In exchange, our helpers live rent-free in their very own, private bluestone cottage (pictured); with a full-sized kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and separate living/dining room with wood fire, TV and free Wi-Fi; and a lovely big verandah. Electricity, gas and water are all included free, as well as linen, towels, crockery, cutlery and cookware. As we only ask for 2 days’ work per week, our helpe...

We live in the Dandenong Ranges, a lush, green mountain wonderland just outside Melbourne. Think towering trees, birdsong, misty mornings, walking tracks, and small villages where everyone knows the good coffee spots. Our home sits in a popular tourist area, but it’s peaceful and leafy, with that rare balance of feeling tucked away while still being well connected. We’re within walking distance of a train station with a direct line to Melbourne, so city adventures are an easy day trip. We’re offering a fully furnished private room in our home in exchange for help in our backyard - the fun, hands-on kind. The work is mostly creating garden paths, shaping outdoor spaces, light landscaping, and general outdoor tidying. Nothing heavy, nothing commercial. We also love when helpers bring ideas and creative input. Work expectations: We ask for 15 hours per week, usually across 5 days (around 3 hours per day).

Update: We have sufficient helpers now until May. We are 10 minutes from Byron and we can see the famous Byron lighthouse from our front balcony. We love hosting Help X guests. We also need help in managing a 6000 sq meter block with a garden that needs a lot of work and a big house that needs cleaning. Our house has views and a pool and spa as well as a media room, all of which, we share with you. If you are over 25, we may be able to lend you a small Toyota Yaris which is registered for free Byron Bay parking. This will depend on the fuel situation in Byron. You may be able to use it for short trips into Byron and but you will need to work out how to share the car and petrol costs if we have several helpers staying. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover younger drivers and without a car, you may find us too isolated as there is no public transport. From 2026 we ask for 20 hours of work a week excluding cleaning up after meals and when you are leaving,...

The property is a small Beef cattle farm on the mid-north coast. Located 40 minutes drive from Port Macquarie town and beaches and 20 minutes from Wauchope and the nearest train station. This place is a really good option for someone on their way between Sydney and Brisbane who wants to break the trip for a few weeks. We are a couple with an adult son who is away at University. We have horses, chickens, ducks,3 dogs and cattle. We have a 2nd farm near Kempsey where we run cattle so sometimes we go over there to work as well. My husband and I both work from home although sometimes I have to spend days away doing fieldwork. We would expect between 3-5 hrs work a day, depending on what needs to be done, with 1 day off each week, usually a weekday, a lift into town can be arranged. Accommodation is in our house, and you will eat with the family. I would appreciate sharing the cooking and cleaning. Wi-Fi available, non-smokers only.

Hello, I’m David! I have sold my coffee shop after 45 years in the hospitality trade, where travelling workers would once work, however I STILL offer helpers the same excellent own room lodging as homestay & great food in exchange for a little light work and some social contact. I live close the train station and bus stop and am a 30 min trip by train to Melbourne City. There is a vehicle to drive locally if are appropriately licensed. You are welcome to use it. I go to the outback in western New South Wales about 3 times a year for the purpose of experiencing the beautiful "timeless land" of Australia and to legally hunt feral animals which endanger our wildlife. I often take workers to the outback so they can have a taste of the real Australia and I can assure that none of the numerous helpers/woofers I have taken over a many year period did not thoroughly enjoy it. . However the choice is theirs whether they accompany myself or whether they stay and "mind the house" I also oft...

We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, upgrading a dinghy to fit a roof and remote steering, repairs to trailer and for help with early morning gardening, housekeeing, cooking and dog walking on the beach. We are looking for reasonably good DIY handymen and women, capable of working effectively, when necessary, on your own or as a pair and, ideally, someone who also has some gardening experience, but that is not really necessary, learn on the job! 😉👍.

This is to avoid the heat of the afternoons at this time of year, mornings ca n be beautiful.

For over 20 years, we have hosted backpackers happy for a chance to take a break from travelling for a few months. We require 2 days’ work per week on Tuesdays and Fridays. Most of the work is either gardening: including raking, digging, mulching, weeding and removing dead or fallen branches; or housekeeping: spring cleaning the main Homestead, or washing windows, cleaning gutters or decobwebbing around our guest cottage. Also there are general tasks like collecting firewood or filling pot-holes in the driveway. The work is not exciting, but the environment is beautiful! In exchange, our helpers live rent-free in their very own, private bluestone cottage (pictured); with a full-sized kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and separate living/dining room with wood fire, TV and free Wi-Fi; and a lovely big verandah. Electricity, gas and water are all included free, as well as linen, towels, crockery, cutlery and cookware. As we only ask for 2 days’ work per week, our helpe...

We are about 10 mins drive, or an easy hitch, from Byron Bay (and all its tourist attractions); Brunswick or Mullumbimby and 2 mins from the beach.

We live in the Dandenong Ranges, a lush, green mountain wonderland just outside Melbourne. Think towering trees, birdsong, misty mornings, walking tracks, and small villages where everyone knows the good coffee spots. Our home sits in a popular tourist area, but it’s peaceful and leafy, with that rare balance of feeling tucked away while still being well connected. We’re within walking distance of a train station with a direct line to Melbourne, so city adventures are an easy day trip. We’re offering a fully furnished private room in our home in exchange for help in our backyard - the fun, hands-on kind. The work is mostly creating garden paths, shaping outdoor spaces, light landscaping, and general outdoor tidying. Nothing heavy, nothing commercial. We also love when helpers bring ideas and creative input. Work expectations: We ask for 15 hours per week, usually across 5 days (around 3 hours per day). You’re welcome to structure your time in a way that suits you. For example, doing ...

We have a mix of retired racehorses and eventing horses, plus a handful of hairy ponies, and need help in feeding, grooming, and riding horses (for the right, experienced people only) and general property maintenance.

We also need help in managing a 6000 sq meter block with a garden that needs a lot of work and a big house that needs cleaning.

You may be able to use it for short trips into Byron and but you will need to work out how to share the car and petrol costs if we have several helpers staying. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover younger drivers and without a car, you may find us too isolated as there is no public transport.

The property is a small Beef cattle farm on the mid-north coast. Located 40 minutes drive from Port Macquarie town and beaches and 20 minutes from Wauchope and the nearest train station.
