Staying at Kari's is a priviledge, not a utility. During my stay she made it possible to discover the home like a true local, including morning swims, trivia nights and many more adventures. In return she expects you to respect her space and to obey the small amount of house rules. Her character is honest, outspeaking and unique, which is not for the weak. In case you feel flexible enough to adapt a certain lifestyle, Kari provides the most unforgetable experience of your Australian stay, but if you fail you'll find yourself in a less lovely position. Personally, I owe her only gratitude

I had a lovely time in the home, we enjoyed a morning swim together everyday which was amazing and all ate dinner together in the evenings so it felt like a little family. There isn't much work to do and Kari is happy for you to go out and explore once you have done your jobs. It's important to note that if you accidentally do something wrong/ not how Kari would have done it then she will scream and swear at you, this occasionally made the house not a very nice environment. You need thick skin. Overall I enjoyed my stay :)

Thank you Lucy for your honest review

Kari is an excellent host, she takes you to different tourist places like beaches, lunches and even invited me to a show at the botanic garden with a spectacular view of the opera house and Sydney CBD, the tasks are easy to do and don't take to long to complete, the house is close to a beautiful beach, there are certain house rules that must be followed, if you respect them there is nothing to worry about it, I definitely hope to return to this place.

My time with Kari was just a wonderful experience!!! I loved spending time with her, she's such a fun person to be around with and she always had a crazy or interesting story to tell. We often cooked and ate dinner together and talked about anything. The work was completely manageable and was mainly just usual housework. There are no specific working shifts you usually just get something done whenever there is something that needs to be done. Thank you Kari that you were so generous to me. I will cherish the moments I made in the home forever. I will definitely come back and visit.🫶🫶🫶

I spent 3 weeks at Kari's place and it was a really nice experience. Kari helped me with a lot of things and gave me opportunities to see things in Sydney and surroundings. The location is fantastic, close to the beach and easy to get to Sydney by bus (~40 minutes). The beach is really nice and quiet, and Kari has some spare surfboards for the guests to use. Kari went out of her way to get an extra surfboard for me, got me tickets for a concert at the opera house, took us to see a movie and much more all free. She's a really good host, so make sure you do your work correctly haha.

My time in the home was truly amazing! Kari's home was always full of people to chat with, close to the beach and the city as well. I felt welcomed, Kari also gave me lots of tips on what to do around. The tasks were very fair, mainly housework, and I really enjoyed spending time with Kari going for an ocean dip in the morning or just listening to one of her funny stories. I would point out that communication is key in Kari's home, do the tasks as she wants them to be done and don't be afraid to ask when you're unsure about something. Thank you Kari for making my time in Sydney so special💚.

I had such an amazing time! The beaches are so close and so beautiful and I loved that there was always someone to chat with. People were all lovely and it was so nice to meet people from so many different countries. We even went to the theatre together! Was a bit like a little family, when we all had dinner together. Kari helped me so much when I was sick and took me to the doctor. Hope to come back sometime :)

I really enjoyed my stay with Kari! The house was cozy and clean and right next to the beach! I enjoyed meeting her friends and exploring the Northern Beaches. The work was reasonable and Kari gave me plenty of time to go into the city or spend time on the beach.
