    Short Property Description

    My husband and I live on 4 acres of beautiful lush property at 218 Brygon Creek Drive, Upper Coomera, Gold Coast, Queensland, 10 minutes to the motorway and close to the theme parks. Over the past 20 years we have been busy creating a wildlife haven and are now starting an organic home vegetable garden. A dam and wetland area are habitats for water dragons, birds, turtles and eels, whilst wallabies browse the lawn. We are both very active on the property, but would love some help in weeding around the native shrubs, mulching, pruning, planting etc. Up to 38 hours per week at times and days to be agreed, in exchange for 3 meals a day – food provided for self-service breakfast, lunch and dinner – some dinners will be shared where we cook for everyone.  Plus comfortable en-suite room in the house and your personal TV room with Netflix, Stan & Foxtel. In your free time enjoy the pool, walk around the property, visit the theme parks or explore the incredible Gold Coast! Public transport is not good in our area but you can easily take an Uber to the closest train or tram station. We can help out if we are able to.

    Organic/Biological methods we use

    We have a vegetable garden where we don’t use any pesticides or herbicides but where we have designed it in such a way to be wildlife safe. We use mulch and use native plants to attract wildlife.
