Description

🌿 Broome, WA – November 2026 to early April 2027 – Property caretaker / garden helper – Exchange position

A family living on a 5-acre property around 15 minutes from Broome is looking for a reliable caretaker or caretaker couple to stay on the property over the wet-season period.

This is an exchange position running from late November 2026 through to 7 April 2027.

Singles and couples are both welcome to apply.

The owners will be coming and going during this period, so they are looking for someone who can commit to staying for the full duration.

The role

The property is in the early stages of developing a garden nursery, so this role would particularly suit someone who enjoys gardening and practical outdoor work.

Duties may include:

βœ… Mowing
βœ… Weeding
βœ… Mulching
βœ… Reticulation installation and maintenance
βœ… General garden care
βœ… Property maintenance
βœ… Pool maintenance
βœ… Keeping an eye on the property while the owners are away

The workload is only a few hours each week.

Animal care

The property is also home to:

πŸ• A friendly dog
πŸ” Chooks

For most of the stay, the dog will travel with the owners.

However, there will be approximately three weeks over Christmas when the owners are away and the caretaker will need to care for the dog as well as the chooks and property.

What’s provided

In exchange for your help, the owners offer:

βœ… Powered caravan site

or

βœ… Granny flat accommodation
βœ… Outdoor kitchen
βœ… Shower and toilet facilities
βœ… Wi-Fi
βœ… Swimming pool access

Who they’re looking for

This opportunity would suit someone who is:

βœ… Reliable and trustworthy
βœ… Happy to commit for the full stay
βœ… Comfortable with gardening and outdoor work
βœ… Practical and self-motivated
βœ… Happy around dogs and chooks
βœ… Able to work independently
βœ… Comfortable living in Broome’s summer climate

Broome can be very hot and humid at this time of year, so the role would best suit active travellers who are comfortable working outdoors in tropical conditions.

This could be a great opportunity for someone wanting a longer-term base in Broome, with only a small weekly work commitment and plenty of time to enjoy the region.
