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. 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 Park (bike ride away). I like to show people around. There is a mountain on my ...

We hope you can join us.

We love sharing who we are and what we have to inspire others to thrive on the land while working with and amongst nature.

We also have our delightful Avan; a compact caravan that has a double bed and a single bed for those who want to live more out amongst nature.

Throughout the year, I accept helpers every now and then to help around the house and garden. Also to assist me with my painting and handyman business. You will have your own room, and meals and snacks in exchange for 4 hours work each day. Helpers have full use of the home, wi-fi, laundry, swimming pool and hot tub... and are part of the family while they are here. Guests may have the option to work extra hours and earn a free day to go diving, snorkelling or lie on the beach. There's lots to do here in Cairns. Sometimes there may be the opportunity to earn some cash if working more than your regular 4 hours per day. Cheers, Steve

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 Everyone, We've been hosting through helpx for over 10 years, we enjoy learning about cultures and people from all over the world. We have the pleasure of living on 350+ acres of natural bush country in Brooweena, Queensland. We have converted a bus to a tiny home, and we are currently building a shipping container home, this is a priority and would love people to help. We also grow a lot of our own food and have fruit trees. We are 100% off-grid with all our electricity from solar and tanks, dam, and rain for water. We have a friendly dog who loves to play. Our goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible, improve the soil, and regenerate the land to a healthy ecosystem. We use Permaculture Design methods. This means we don't use any chemical sprays, artificial fertilizer or mono-cropping on our land and live the values of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. It's a very exciting time for us to be embarking on our farming adventure, and we would like to share this ti...

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...

This is a Standardbred Race Horse (Harness Racing) farm at the foot of Tamborine Mountain. Located 45 minutes from Brisbane in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland. The closest train station is Beenleigh. Your own car is a plus. We welcome working holiday visa holders with good horse experience and most importantly a passion for horses !! In order to learn your daily task, routine and horses personalities, we will ask you to stay a minimum of 3 weeks. Long stays are really welcome. Your role on the farm would be helping with the daily care of our racehorses. It's an everyday job starting depending of the sun (4.30am in summer and later on winter time). We start each morning training the horses, washing them and feeding them. All the retired horses need to be feed and watered as well. We need to feed and water all the horses again each night before dark. The ideal helpers will be positive, willing and with a some decent english.

My rainforest home is located only a 5 minute walk to Kuranda village with our famous markets and only 3km to the mighty Barron Falls.There are numerous rainforest walks nearby. Cairns and the best beaches are only 40 minutes by car. Own vehicle preferred as the bus is limited as it is only twice a day! I travelled the world for 6 years and I now welcome guests from all countries to enjoy this beautiful place that I have called home for 46 years. Non smokers only. Work is mainly outside in my large landscaped garden as well as maintaining the side of a permanent creek which is my property's rear boundary. Alternatively, there is always some household chores and indoor painting to do when the weather is either too hot or raining outside. Old clothes available to work in if you don't want to use your good gear. In exchange for 4 hours per day (8am-noon unless previously agreed) you will have your own air-conditioned bedroom, healthy meals and free time to cool off in my large swimming ...

Hi there! We’re a small family living on an 3 acre property a 20-minute drive from Hobart, close to the airport and 2.5 km from the beach. Our place is home to a small flower farm, an orchard, a veggie garden, and a few lovely animals—including two friendly dogs, some chickens, and a couple of ducks. We’d love a helping hand with general property care, depending on the season—things like feeding chooks, tending to flowers, weeding (always weeding🙃), planting and taking cuttings, and a few odd jobs to keep things running smoothly. At the moment, our place is best suited to someone who enjoys a quiet, laid-back stay and is happy doing their own thing. you’ll have your own private space—an upstairs apartment with a kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. There’s a sauna and cold plunge, potential to use a car and we would be happy to share some meals together. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to land and breathe with some work in exchange, we’d love to hear from you

Situated on the edge of the Great Divide, we are surrounded by great views, Kangaroos, Wombats, Echidna and numerous bird species including wedge tail eagles, Rosella's and Kookaburras. Just an hour from Melbourne [less from the airport] we can arrange pick up. Our farm has Highland Cattle, Chooks and a large Vegie garden/orchard. While we have no urgent work requirements and the farm is only our hobby [we are semi retired ] there is always something to do, however we have no paid employment available and cannot add points for visa extension. We have a spare room with double bed or we can accommodate 2 x singles as well. The nearest public transport is 15 minute drive and we can drop people of most days as we go past the station nearly every day. Our current projects are house painting, wood cutting and gardening.

Welcome! I am Fern. I live together with my 4 year old daughter on our small, off grid and very humble farmlet in Guildford, Central Victoria. Guildford is home to one of Victoria's largest river red gums. It is over 500 years old. It's a very small town with only a general store, primary school & pub, half way between Castlemaine & Daylesford. We have been on this land for 1 and a half years & have started using permaculture principals & design. So far, we have completed the fence line, (to keep the rabbits out) & joyously have begun some planting both in the food forest, cottage garden & in the veggie patch. We always have seeds growing in our tiny greenhouse. Fern has a background in florist & plant nursery work and has completed a PDC. Currently a full time Mama, her interest lie in walking softly on this earth, while the little one loves watching the abundant birdlife in our vast open skies! I love kirtan and am busy immersing ourselves in the local community. There maybe a proj...

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane. It has great views over the bay and has good access to fishing, crabbing, safe swimming and boating. There is a fast and regular ferry to the mainland that takes 20 minutes. There are also several other islands nearby that can be explored including North Stradbroke Island that has wonderful beaches and walks and lots of wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, turtles and dolphin and - from June to October - humpback whales. Over the next two years we will renovate and paint the home, install new kitchen and two bathrooms. Graham has some woodworking skill but needs help during that time with various tasks and we are willing to give you a comfortable bed, good food and company and access to bathroom and washing machine in exchange for 4 hours help per day, 5 days per week.

Are you happy to be VEGETARIAN (or vegan) while with us? Are you a complete NON-SMOKER? Are you interested in SUSTAINABILITY? Bruce and I are busy creating a hub of intentional living, aiming for sustainable resources, energy, water, transport, food, and biodiversity. 'Bilya Mia' (River Home) is still a building site in many ways (inside and out); It'll be a while before our Bassendean homestead looks anything like Frog Palace did (see video). We're taking our time to get elements just right!! WHAT WE SEEK * Non-Smokers only. * Two hours of energetic house & yard help per person per day. At the moment, there's much landscaping to be done! * Minimum stay of two weeks, longer is often fine. * Early-birds: Starting early in Summer (say 8am) is ideal, keeping us out of the heat, and providing plenty of time for your play, study, work or exploration. Bank hours if you like. * Maturity: Previous helpers have ranged in age from 17 to 75, however an evolved house-sharing ethic is...

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. 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.

Throughout the year, I accept helpers every now and then to help around the house and garden. Also to assist me with my painting and handyman business. You will have your own room, and meals and snacks in exchange for 4 hours work each day. Helpers have full use of the home, wi-fi, laundry, swimming pool and hot tub... and are part of the family while they are here. Guests may have the option to work extra hours and earn a free day to go diving, snorkelling or lie on the beach. There's lots to do here in Cairns. Sometimes there may be the opportunity to earn some cash if working more than your regular 4 hours per day. Cheers, Steve

We have converted a bus to a tiny home, and we are currently building a shipping container home, this is a priority and would love people to help. We also grow a lot of our own food and have fruit trees. We are 100% off-grid with all our electricity from solar and tanks, dam, and rain for water. We have a friendly dog who loves to play. Our goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible, improve the soil, and regenerate the land to a healthy ecosystem. We use Permaculture Design methods. This means we don't use any chemical sprays, artificial fertilizer or mono-cropping on our land and live the values of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. It's a very exciting time for us to be embarking on our farming adventure, and we would like to share this ti...

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...

Next vacancies likely to be 2nd week of September. 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.

Hi there! We’re a small family living on an 3 acre property a 20-minute drive from Hobart, close to the airport and 2.5 km from the beach. Our place is home to a small flower farm, an orchard, a veggie garden, and a few lovely animals—including two friendly dogs, some chickens, and a couple of ducks. We’d love a helping hand with general property care, depending on the season—things like feeding chooks, tending to flowers, weeding (always weeding🙃), planting and taking cuttings, and a few odd jobs to keep things running smoothly. At the moment, our place is best suited to someone who enjoys a quiet, laid-back stay and is happy doing their own thing. you’ll have your own private space—an upstairs apartment with a kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. There’s a sauna and cold plunge, potential to use a car and we would be happy to share some meals together. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to land and breathe with some work in exchange, we’d love to hear from you

Situated on the edge of the Great Divide, we are surrounded by great views, Kangaroos, Wombats, Echidna and numerous bird species including wedge tail eagles, Rosella's and Kookaburras. Just an hour from Melbourne [less from the airport] we can arrange pick up. Our farm has Highland Cattle, Chooks and a large Vegie garden/orchard. While we have no urgent work requirements and the farm is only our hobby [we are semi retired ] there is always something to do, however we have no paid employment available and cannot add points for visa extension. We have a spare room with double bed or we can accommodate 2 x singles as well. The nearest public transport is 15 minute drive and we can drop people of most days as we go past the station nearly every day. Our current projects are house painting, wood cutting and gardening.

Welcome! I am Fern. I live together with my 4 year old daughter on our small, off grid and very humble farmlet in Guildford, Central Victoria. Guildford is home to one of Victoria's largest river red gums. It is over 500 years old. It's a very small town with only a general store, primary school & pub, half way between Castlemaine & Daylesford. We have been on this land for 1 and a half years & have started using permaculture principals & design. So far, we have completed the fence line, (to keep the rabbits out) & joyously have begun some planting both in the food forest, cottage garden & in the veggie patch. We always have seeds growing in our tiny greenhouse. Fern has a background in florist & plant nursery work and has completed a PDC. Currently a full time Mama, her interest lie in walking softly on this earth, while the little one loves watching the abundant birdlife in our vast open skies! I love kirtan and am busy immersing ourselves in the local community. There maybe a proj...

Hello, currently looking for helpers who would enjoy living and working on a sub-tropical island for a minimum of 3 weeks. Volunteer 3 hours/day - live on a paradise island on the Great Barrier Reef. We are looking for volunteers preferably couples over the age of 25 to work in our solar powered eco friendly holiday village. You will work 3 hours a day, generally from 9am to 12pm and then have the rest of the day to enjoy the gorgeous Great Keppel Island.

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane. It has great views over the bay and has good access to fishing, crabbing, safe swimming and boating. There is a fast and regular ferry to the mainland that takes 20 minutes. There are also several other islands nearby that can be explored including North Stradbroke Island that has wonderful beaches and walks and lots of wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, turtles and dolphin and - from June to October - humpback whales. Over the next two years we will renovate and paint the home, install new kitchen and two bathrooms. Graham has some woodworking skill but needs help during that time with various tasks and we are willing to give you a comfortable bed, good food and company and access to bathroom and washing machine in exchange for 4 hours help per day, 5 days per week. Our preference is for a single person or couple who have some skil...

Are you happy to be VEGETARIAN (or vegan) while with us? Are you a complete NON-SMOKER? Are you interested in SUSTAINABILITY? Bruce and I are busy creating a hub of intentional living, aiming for sustainable resources, energy, water, transport, food, and biodiversity. 'Bilya Mia' (River Home) is still a building site in many ways (inside and out); It'll be a while before our Bassendean homestead looks anything like Frog Palace did (see video). We're taking our time to get elements just right!! WHAT WE SEEK * Non-Smokers only. * Two hours of energetic house & yard help per person per day. At the moment, there's much landscaping to be done! * Minimum stay of two weeks, longer is often fine. * Early-birds: Starting early in Summer (say 8am) is ideal, keeping us out of the heat, and providing plenty of time for your play, study, work or exploration. Bank hours if you like. * Maturity: Previous helpers have ranged in age from 17 to 75, however an evolved house-sharing ethic is...
