Looking for helpers from mid April 2026 and beyond. Located in Melbourne's Southern eastern suburbs, only 1 hour by train to Melbourne CBD. We have a hobby farm with 2 cows, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. We are best suited to accommodate a couple or 2 friends travelling together and wanting to stay for 2 weeks or more. Helper accommodation is very neat self contained studio style cottage, with your own King Bed, Lounge, kitchen, bathroom and meals area. We would welcome anyone with any handyman skills etc. General duties include caring for the animals, gardening, mowing, weeding, fence repairs, painting, wood splitting and other odd jobs. We can provide accommodation in exchange for 20 hours per week. We are 5km from the local shops and public transport, so it is more convenient if you have your own vehicle.

Hi, I run an alpaca stud specialising in suri alpacas. I also run Wiltipoll sheep as a source of meat. I am attempting to be fully self sufficient and the accommodation is all off grid (but very high tech). There is also satellite TV for the evenings. However, you still need to be aware of not leaving electrical appliances and lights running unnecessarily as well as 5 minute showers. I have only been living here since August 2014 and am still building the garden to the standard I want as well as fencing off various areas. I have internet access via satellite which is quite reliable and your phone will default to going through the satellite. Otherwise, mobile phone coverage is variable - if you are with Optus there is very little signal. You are best off with Telstra as there seems to be better coverage by them. you can access your phone via the wifi which is satellite and more reliable. If you are looking for a party scene this is not the place. My place is very quiet and tranquil a...

We live on a small acreage about 20 minutes outside of Bundaberg. It is in a quiet, country area with lots of animals - dogs, cats, geese, guinea fowl and ducks. Wild kangaroos regularly feed in the paddock near our house. If you love animals, we are the place for you! Helpers would have their own bedroom, bathroom, toilet and lounge room. We are happy to provide all meals if you require, but ask that helpers help with either the meal preparation or the clean up afterwards. We have access to wireless internet and are able to pick up helpers from Bundaberg if they do not have their own transport. Due to the lack of public transport where we live, it is probably more suitable if you have your own transport if you wish to visit local attractions. We would like some assistance with feeding/caring for the animals, housework, cooking and gardening. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about their cultures. We have hosted a lot of helpers in the past and thought it was time to start aga...

We are a family of five living a self reliant lifestyle, on a small isolated block. We produce our own food, including goat's yoghurt & cheese, wild or raised meats, eggs, fruit and veggies from our established gardens. We have no income from our property as we are always wanting to become more self-sufficient, so guests must be self motivated and hard working, and be able to contribute skills. We do not allow the use of chemicals (shampoo, sunscreen deodorants etc...) as our grey-water goes directly onto the food gardens, but we do supply our own home made organic soaps and creams. Our aim is to create a co-operative living space, so opportunities arise for short and long term or permanent stay. We have three children who we homeschool using natural learning methods. Travellers with children are very welcome. Please visit our website via link below. We are randomly online and prefer telephone contact to make arrangements.

Our own children have left home so we have plenty of rooms to spare. We are happy to offer comfortable accommodation, healthy meals and a friendly, family atmosphere, in return for gardening, small maintenance and household duties. You would have the use of a TV, sound system, free wireless internet, kitchen, laundry and your own bathroom and toilet.

Currently looking for a dog/house sitter from 30th April to 24th May. Pet/House sitter needed for my little goofball from 30th April to 24th May. Can be slightly longer to suit requirements. Nellie is a Swiss Shepherd. She's super clingy and used to pretty much 24/7 company so need someone who is happy to spend plenty of time with her. She does have somewhere that she can be dropped off in the day time from 8am till 4pm if you are working, but needs someone to spend the time with her in the evenings. Someone that can drive is preferable as she likes to go to the beach and parks etc.. The property is a charming low set queenslander in Bungalow, near the Cazaylys stadium. Please drop me a DM with some info about yourself if you are interested. Thanks
