I had a lovely stay with Ava, Blake & Teo! The schedule was usually 9-2pm and helping with their 6 year old while on school holidays, playing with him, baking a cake, taking him out to town and being childlike. I also helped out around the house cooking meals, and tidying up. I really enjoyed having meals with them and learning about the Aussie life :) In my free time I got to explore Katoomba, and explore the surrounding nature and go on hikes. Thank you again for a great time!

Im beyond lucky to have stayed in this beautiful guest room up on the hill over looking the beautiful Blue Mountains, with the sunrise & sunsets from your own bdrm window! It doesnt feel like work when your just helping with housework, like you'd do your own, and hanging out with their 6 year old feeling like a kid again. The laughs, love and trust ive felt in this home has been so heartwarming and wholesome. I've thoroughly enjoyed everyday here and will definietly be coming back for visits xx Katoomba feels like a home to me now, and this experience made me feel I was part of the family!
