We hope you can join us. Currently looking for keen and energetic people who can join us in making our piece of Paradise even better while you have a memorable lifetime experience that will enrich your life. We love sharing who we are and what we have to inspire others to thrive on the land while working with and amongst nature.

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't 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. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 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 rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

Hello travellers, and a warm welcome to beautiful Olinda - I am Vita and delighted to host you. **Currently seeking Helper/s who can work in the garden or use a chainsaw to cut fire wood. Or a carpenter who can help repair weather damaged external timber windows. Or someone with mechanical experience to service chainsaw and lawn mowers. Or a Helper with sewing skills and can use a sewing machine. Or a helper who can restore and refinish furniture. I appreciate self-starters and Helpers with initiative, who do not always need to be told what to do and are capable of putting in a full days work. Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise them. Therefore, Helpers who can help with l...

We’ve recently built a wonderfully energy efficient passive solar house, complete with off-grid solar for all our energy needs, rain water collection for all our water needs, and a worm farm waste management system for natural black and grey water processing. We’ve put a lot of work in to achieve a fossil-fuel-free, all-electric, household, with as small an environmental footprint as possible. We’re also lucky to live in a beautiful rural/coastal area near Inverloch, Victoria, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes south-east of Melbourne. We are close to some of Victoria’s most famous wildlife and wilderness attractions, including the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, the Koala Conservation Reserve, and hiking and camping at Wilson’s Promontory (not to mention numerous local beaches and fishing spots only 10 minutes away!). With our house complete, we’re now working to progress the landscaping aspects of our project. We’d be very appreciative of a helping hand or two to help complete: a na...

Our large property is in the rain forest, 10 Minutes from the village of Kuranda and a 40-minute drive from the city of Cairns in far north Queensland. A beautiful National Park is nearby, with several good walking tracks. We don`t have any farm animals except a couple of chickens on the block, but have lots of beautiful birds and butterflies, also forest creatures like goannas, bush turkeys, turtles, wallabies and cassowaries. Bill and I would like some helping hands for gardening, lawn mowing, some basic and building maintenance and household chores. Our guest accommodation consists of a self-contained cottage with one Queensize bed and a spare mattress. We are providing accommodation and food with some shared cooking by arrangement, you would have to do your most of your own cooking. In exchange we ask for less hours of work 4 hrs a day mainly but more days off to travel around -- 16 work hrs per week.. We are happy to show guests the surrounding area on days off.

3 bedroom house 200m from beach on south terrace in South Fremantle. Pubs, restaurants and cafes within short walking distance. Walk to Fremantle in 15 mins or take the free bus with a stop within a few meters. It's a beautiful old house with a nice back garden to relax in. I require assistance with a some renovation work. The house is 120 years old - not old by European standards but quite old for Australia - but still a lot to be done. Some more work on my kitchen, and just a myriad of small things. Any skills in renovation and minor construction would be absolutely ideal! But not essential. Whilst I haven't had many helpxers, I've had great experiences with everyone who has stayed. Happy for people to do there own thing but also happy to have a beer/wine with good people. Am after 1 to 3 honest people, male or female. Have had great experiences with helpxers so far. Thanks, Mike

Accommodation is in a comfortably caravan with double bed.. Our life style is pretty chilled which includes travel, bbq's, music, kitesurfing and fishing.

I will provide breakfast, tea and coffee and share input to main meals and encourage sharing traditional dishes, help show you around this awesome part of Australia. helpx's with a vehicle are preferred because we are 2 km out of town.

My husband and I moved to this 240 acre farm in the South Burnett Region of South East Qld 2 years ago and have recently moved into a purpose built cottage (to reduce our footprint) relying on rainwater for the house and bore water for the gardens and to reduce our footprint further we have installed a composting toilet. 40 fruit trees have been planted and raised garden beds made which is the start of our edible oasis. Next on the jobs list is creating wicking beds from IBC totes and fencing the house yard for our two Jack Russell dogs. We have an old thunder box we would like to restore to make into an outdoor composting toilet (let us know if you’re handy on the tools). There’s plenty to do and learn around the farm depending on your ability and interests. Enthusiasm is a must. There’s gardening and learning about soil health, learning how to erect barbed wire and electric fencing, animal husbandry, building, cleaning and general maintenance. There’s always something different g...

UPDATE: Currently this helpx position is most suited to couples, preferably with a car and some renovation experience. We are a multi generation family and we live in a large family home on a beautiful outer suburban property by a creek. On our doorstep are beautiful wildflower walk trails (and kangaroos!:) in Mundy Regional Park and Lesmurdie Falls National Park. Kanyana Wildlife sanctuary is nearby. We have a large garden that needs lots of work. I have an art studio where I conduct art classes for children. The home is located in the Perth hills about 30 minutes from the city centre and 15 minutes to the airport. The accommodation is a large bedroom** in a self contained apartment on the ground floor. This area is currently being renovated but the bathroom and small kitchen are still usable. ** Helpers can also use the family space upstairs and we can all cook/eat together in the large family kitchen.

If you'd like to experience natural, simple living and see what it is like to start a life relying more on yourself than the consumer driven culture, and hear about the realities of "community living", then we may just be a match. We are a young family with four kids under 10, trying hard to transition into self sufficiency. We live off grid, on a bush block. It is a 15 minutes drive to town. A bus can be caught 2.4km away. Coonabarabran is Australia's astronomy capital. The observatory here allows space and planet enthusiasts to explore their interests. We produce our own goat's milk, eggs and have been enjoying tones of salad greens. Now its time for spring planting. My kids are homeschooled, don't eat or watch junk, not allowed tech devices, run and play with each other, help garden and clean up, my 5 year old chops wood, mills flour, my 8 year sews and weaves - and they love the lifestyle. If we watch a film, we discuss the subliminal messages. I spent summers in Russia on dac...

Hello - We live in a peaceful botanical garden in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington above Nipaluna/Hobart in Tasmania/Lutrawita. I am Sarah, my housemate Ben is the local ranger on the mountain and Blackberry is my large black cat. We are located about 12 minutes drive by car from the centre of Hobart, 5 minutes walk to bus stop and the trailhead for a huge number of beautiful hiking tracks. Many helpers have climbed to the top of Kunanyi and back! many shorter/easier walks are available with many waterfalls - one just 15 minutes away. There are views down the D'entrtcasteau channel up to the mountain and all the way down to the Derwent river to the eastern shore of Hobart. The garden is large with an enclosed orchard/vegetable/medicinal and culinary herb garden to protect it from the many wallabies, pademelons and possums that live on the property. We also regularly see bandicoots and the gardens are teeming with birdlife. I focus a lot of energy in the garden as it is my ...

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...

Next vacancies likely to be from late October. We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, help with gardening, housekeeing, cooking, duck and chicken rearing and dog walking on the beach. Fishing, snorkelling, and rainforest walks can help occupy your spare time. We hatched two goslings in mid July and are hand-rearing them, real characters! Working times need to be a bit flexible depending on weather and time of year. We can start 4 hours outside work at this time of year at about 08.00 hr, five mornings a week and at 9 am on Sundays. Saturday is your day off. As it gets hotter and the days get longer, we start earlier. Depending on your skills set, most of the work may be outside, based out of a well-equipped workshop and/or in our vegetable garden and hen and duck coops. ‍But limited housework also needs some of your time! Opportunities on your day off include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, weather permitting of course, rainforest walks and river swimm...

Hi! I am Helen - a 57 year old woman. I am an artist and work three days a week I live alone and I have a rescue cat who mostly lives inside. I live in Hobart, which is a small city in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. I live on 2 acres - a "bush block", where you see wallabies and possums and Tasmanian hens up close every day! It is a little haven. I am 1 km walk from a bus stop and it takes 15 minutes from my place to the centre of the city. I back onto land that takes you straight up kunanyi/Mount Wellington so bushwalking is very accessible. I have a little detached room (see photos - but depending on the time of year it might be a bedroom in the house) where you have to come inside for the bathroom and kitchen. It is comfortable and clean. You have access to your own bathroom and toilet (see photos). You can see how close the room is to the house in one of the photos - it is the dark maroon building. It is across a small courtyard and up a few steps. (At the moment the ...

You don't 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. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 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 rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

Hello travellers, and a warm welcome to beautiful Olinda - I am Vita and delighted to host you. **Currently seeking Helper/s who can work in the garden or use a chainsaw to cut fire wood. Or a carpenter who can help repair weather damaged external timber windows. Or someone with mechanical experience to service chainsaw and lawn mowers. Or a Helper with sewing skills and can use a sewing machine. Or a helper who can restore and refinish furniture. I appreciate self-starters and Helpers with initiative, who do not always need to be told what to do and are capable of putting in a full days work. Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise them. Therefore, Helpers who can help with l...

We’ve recently built a wonderfully energy efficient passive solar house, complete with off-grid solar for all our energy needs, rain water collection for all our water needs, and a worm farm waste management system for natural black and grey water processing. We’ve put a lot of work in to achieve a fossil-fuel-free, all-electric, household, with as small an environmental footprint as possible. We’re also lucky to live in a beautiful rural/coastal area near Inverloch, Victoria, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes south-east of Melbourne. We are close to some of Victoria’s most famous wildlife and wilderness attractions, including the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, the Koala Conservation Reserve, and hiking and camping at Wilson’s Promontory (not to mention numerous local beaches and fishing spots only 10 minutes away!). With our house complete, we’re now working to progress the landscaping aspects of our project. We’d be very appreciative of a helping hand or two to help complete: a na...

A beautiful National Park is nearby, with several good walking tracks. We don`t have any farm animals except a couple of chickens on the block, but have lots of beautiful birds and butterflies, also forest creatures like goannas, bush turkeys, turtles, wallabies and cassowaries.

3 bedroom house 200m from beach on south terrace in South Fremantle. Pubs, restaurants and cafes within short walking distance. Walk to Fremantle in 15 mins or take the free bus with a stop within a few meters. It's a beautiful old house with a nice back garden to relax in. I require assistance with a some renovation work. The house is 120 years old - not old by European standards but quite old for Australia - but still a lot to be done. Some more work on my kitchen, and just a myriad of small things. Any skills in renovation and minor construction would be absolutely ideal! But not essential. Whilst I haven't had many helpxers, I've had great experiences with everyone who has stayed. Happy for people to do there own thing but also happy to have a beer/wine with good people. Am after 1 to 3 honest people, male or female. Have had great experiences with helpxers so far. Thanks, Mike

My husband and I moved to this 240 acre farm in the South Burnett Region of South East Qld 2 years ago and have recently moved into a purpose built cottage (to reduce our footprint) relying on rainwater for the house and bore water for the gardens and to reduce our footprint further we have installed a composting toilet. 40 fruit trees have been planted and raised garden beds made which is the start of our edible oasis. Next on the jobs list is creating wicking beds from IBC totes and fencing the house yard for our two Jack Russell dogs. We have an old thunder box we would like to restore to make into an outdoor composting toilet (let us know if you’re handy on the tools). There’s plenty to do and learn around the farm depending on your ability and interests. Enthusiasm is a must. There’s gardening and learning about soil health, learning how to erect barbed wire and electric fencing, animal husbandry, building, cleaning and general maintenance. There’s always something different g...

If you'd like to experience natural, simple living and see what it is like to start a life relying more on yourself than the consumer driven culture, and hear about the realities of "community living", then we may just be a match. We are a young family with four kids under 10, trying hard to transition into self sufficiency. We live off grid, on a bush block. It is a 15 minutes drive to town. A bus can be caught 2.4km away. Coonabarabran is Australia's astronomy capital. The observatory here allows space and planet enthusiasts to explore their interests. We produce our own goat's milk, eggs and have been enjoying tones of salad greens. Now its time for spring planting. My kids are homeschooled, don't eat or watch junk, not allowed tech devices, run and play with each other, help garden and clean up, my 5 year old chops wood, mills flour, my 8 year sews and weaves - and they love the lifestyle. If we watch a film, we discuss the subliminal messages. I spent summers in Russia on dac...

Tony and I offer self-contained accommodation for short stays of a week or two for a couple or two friends (any genders) who would like to explore the beautiful Yarra Valley or who are in between jobs (longer stays may be possible depending on whether we have family coming to stay and using the studio.) Our property, Lavender Farm, is about 6 kilometers from the small tourist town of Healesville in the Yarra Valley. The Yarra Valley is wine-growing region at the foot of the Great Dividing Ranges. It is about 1 hour by car from Melbourne. We have a lemon orchard, vegetable gardens, horse paddocks and some bush. We are not a commericial lavender farm although we have a lot of lavender growing in the gardens. Spring has arrived so the gardens are lovely at the moment. There are some rescue horses (not rideable) and a pony , chickens, very friendly family dogs and a swimming pool.Our daughters are grown up and living in Melbourne so we normally just see them on the weekend and when...

Hello - We live in a peaceful botanical garden in the foothills of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington above Nipaluna/Hobart in Tasmania/Lutrawita. I am Sarah, my housemate Ben is the local ranger on the mountain and Blackberry is my large black cat. We are located about 12 minutes drive by car from the centre of Hobart, 5 minutes walk to bus stop and the trailhead for a huge number of beautiful hiking tracks. Many helpers have climbed to the top of Kunanyi and back! many shorter/easier walks are available with many waterfalls - one just 15 minutes away. There are views down the D'entrtcasteau channel up to the mountain and all the way down to the Derwent river to the eastern shore of Hobart. The garden is large with an enclosed orchard/vegetable/medicinal and culinary herb garden to protect it from the many wallabies, pademelons and possums that live on the property. We also regularly see bandicoots and the gardens are teeming with birdlife. I focus a lot of energy in the garden as it is my ...

If you love wildlife, the outdoors, great views and good food, send us an email (only emails from this site will be responded to). This is very much a cultural exchange (for us and for you) as you will be in our family home sharing our lifestyle. NO SMOKERS OR VEGETARIANS PLEASE. We prefer our helpers to stay 2 weeks or more. Work outside is a major part of what we do so expect to be outside on a rural property as part of the experience. Please message us through this platform to allow us to view your profile The property is located 60km South of Brisbane and 20km West of the Gold Coast on the upper North slope of Mt Tamborine, 320m above sea level. We are surrounded by National Parks and abundant wildlife. The property is 6Ha with a sub-tropical climate and has great country views to the North up to 140km on a clear day. We also have a tennis court (I will always give preference to tennis players who love to cook and eat great food), an outdoor cob pizza oven, chooks/ducks, two Rh...

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...

Next vacancies likely to be from late October. We appreciate help with DIY repairs and maintenance, timber work, help with gardening, housekeeing, cooking, duck and chicken rearing and dog walking on the beach. Fishing, snorkelling, and rainforest walks can help occupy your spare time. We hatched two goslings in mid July and are hand-rearing them, real characters! Working times need to be a bit flexible depending on weather and time of year. We can start 4 hours outside work at this time of year at about 08.00 hr, five mornings a week and at 9 am on Sundays. Saturday is your day off. As it gets hotter and the days get longer, we start earlier. Depending on your skills set, most of the work may be outside, based out of a well-equipped workshop and/or in our vegetable garden and hen and duck coops. ‍But limited housework also needs some of your time! Opportunities on your day off include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, weather permitting of course, rainforest walks and river swimm...

Hi! I am Helen - a 57 year old woman. I am an artist and work three days a week I live alone and I have a rescue cat who mostly lives inside. I live in Hobart, which is a small city in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. I live on 2 acres - a "bush block", where you see wallabies and possums and Tasmanian hens up close every day! It is a little haven. I am 1 km walk from a bus stop and it takes 15 minutes from my place to the centre of the city. I back onto land that takes you straight up kunanyi/Mount Wellington so bushwalking is very accessible. I have a little detached room (see photos - but depending on the time of year it might be a bedroom in the house) where you have to come inside for the bathroom and kitchen. It is comfortable and clean. You have access to your own bathroom and toilet (see photos). You can see how close the room is to the house in one of the photos - it is the dark maroon building. It is across a small courtyard and up a few steps. (At the moment the ...

Hi, we are looking for one or two keen, healthy helpers to work with us on a range of tasks.🌻 We have a small berry orchard and vegetable gardens with ducks, Guinea fowl, friendly kangaroos and our cute indoor house cats. The rest of the property is natural woodlands and we try to live as sustainably as possible. We have built our own unique home and there are still some parts to complete. All your meals are provided and we eat together to plan our day. The food is tasty vegetarian and we are happy to cater for vegans. Your accommodation is in a private and comfortable converted shipping container/tiny home and WIFI is available at main house. You need to commit to one week however you could stay longer if all are agreed. Helpers with some skills are welcome but an actual interest in experiencing a more sustainable life during your stay with us is more important. We don't take bookings in advance but if you are ready to come help now or soon contact us. Please tell us what skills yo...
