Jack and Kate are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I've ever met! They are so laid back and fun to be around. I had a great time here with them and their kids! They always made sure to include me in activities and were very understanding and easy to communicate with. I'm gonna miss these guys a lot as they made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

It was such a pleasure staying with the family! We felt very welcome and respected. We had good communication before and during our stay, and also had lovely conversations with them and learned a lot about Australia. We didn't have our own car but the family was very flexible with carpooling and helping us get to the station or Sunshine Coast. In terms of work, it was very manageable and didn't take much of our time. We mostly helped clean the kitchen and keeping the main rooms tidy. Besides that, we spend some time cleaning the family yacht and car, and spent time with the kids. We recommend

I am very grateful for this experience. Jack and his family were a safe space for us, and their dog Bella is a pure soul. We had great conversations, and they showed us the area where they live, making us feel wonderful. We will never forget this experience, and I am incredibly thankful to have been a part of the family.

Jack and his family have created a truly special place - a real safe space where we immediately felt at home. Their kindness, warmth, and flexibility made our stay unforgettable. It felt more like staying with friends . Even without a car, we had a wonderful time. Jack and Kate picked us up from the station, and took us to the beach. This is a little paradise for anyone seeking peace, nature, and great conversations. We're so grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful retreat in nature. We will cherish this time forever!

I had an mazing and interesting time living with the funny and welcoming Vaney family. They taught me so much about Australia and we had a lot of interesting conversations. The property is shared with the extended family, and while I was there a few guests also came through, so there were always people around, which I enjoyed! Exciting to get to experience a different way of living and the beautiful local nature! The property has got a beautiful creek, loads of flowers, and (to me) exotic plants and animals. Definitely recommend!

The Vaney’s seem like very kind & understanding people but unfortunately the stay was not what I expected. I ended up leaving the second day due to a strange interaction I had with a man knocking on my caravan door at midnight (which the family did apologize for) & the cigarette smell around the property. Of course it is their home & they can smoke wherever they'd like, but it would’ve been nice to know in advance. From my limited time there, the work mostly involved cleaning the house.
Overall it just wasn't the experience for me but might be perfect for someone else!

Hi Avery,
I did explain to you after you left and had told me why you felt uncomfortable that that should NOT have happened and that that person was someone we were helping out and is no longer staying with us. I am not sure what you were expecting to know in advance. Best of luck in your travels. I just wanted to make clear to other travellers, of which we have had many, that this was an isolated incident that will not be repeated.

It is a cozy place, surrounded by nature. The place to stay is very comfortable. The Vaney family is very kind, they gave me directions and good information to enjoy many places on the Sunshine Coast, they also lent me a bicycle to use. I recommend this host.

Helen was an amazing person to have stay at our place. She worked incredibly hard and did much, much more than was required. She is a lovely person. It was a pleasure to have her as a guest.

Beautiful place with a river to go during the hot day! The family were very nice to us. A car is a must:)
