🌿 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:
✅ Mowing
✅ Weeding
✅ Mulching
✅ Reticulation installation and maintenance
✅ General garden care
✅ Property maintenance
✅ Pool maintenance
✅ 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:
🐕 A friendly dog
🐔 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:
✅ Powered caravan site
or
✅ Granny flat accommodation
✅ Outdoor kitchen
✅ Shower and toilet facilities
✅ Wi-Fi
✅ Swimming pool access
Who they’re looking for
This opportunity would suit someone who is:
✅ Reliable and trustworthy
✅ Happy to commit for the full stay
✅ Comfortable with gardening and outdoor work
✅ Practical and self-motivated
✅ Happy around dogs and chooks
✅ Able to work independently
✅ 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.
