We spent 3 incredible months in the majestic house that is Villa. Jasmin & Nadege are like no other, and their unique, artistic and interesting lives and selves make the house feel like a dreamland. With beautiful ocean view, art, sculptures and antique collections, it's no wonder this house is so cherished by many. We're so thankful to Jasmin, Nadege & family for welcoming us into their lives and for since becoming life-long friends. In terms of our work, during guest season we did a lot of room change-overs which included cleaning, dusting & making beds. Every morning, we prepared breakfast for the guests by setting the table, baking fresh baguettes and picking up croissants from the local boulangerie. We helped complete many tasks, including laundry, general tidying, market visits and renovations. There were also a few exciting events in the house and we loved helping however we could. We were lucky enough to continue our stay as Winter came. The few guests were only close friends of the family, so we spent a lot of time with the lovely children (Rose is the best French teacher we've had!), helped with cleaning and laundry, and cooked meals for the whole family. There is so much more we could say about this wonderful place. A true lifelong memory to become part of such a wonderful French family. If you get the chance to stay, take it. Merci beaucoup J&N, et à bientôt xx

Marita is a wonderful young girl, very kind, friendly, loving, easygoing and hard working. My family and I had the honour of hosted her for two weeks and we had a wonderful time with her. We barely felt that we had a guest in our house because she perfectly fitted in our family. She helped us with photograph and social media marketing and I'm very very satisfied with her work, I never had to tell her what to do she did everything on her own and that is even more impressive. She also booked a four days safari with my agency which I'm also very grateful to her. We had few day trips together which we had a fantastic time, we laughed alot, talked about random staff and I fell like I knew her my entire life, thank you to the workaway platform I gained a new sister and friend 💓 My family son and niece also like her very much, we already miss her very much, we wished she could have stayed longer but she already had plans for the follow week. We wishing her all the best in her next adventure. We love you very much Marita, you are always welcome to our family ❤️❤️

Kelly is an amazing artist and an amazing person. She was a delight to have around and helped a ton during her short stay! Thank you Kelly!

Iris y Cristian trabajan muy bien juntos. Han sido organizados y responsables con las tareas que les he pedido. Realmente he quedado muy conforme con vosotros chicos!!!

Sabrina was an excellent volunteer. She has a bright and warm personality that connects well with everyone she meets. She was a great addition to our hostel team. She is also a fast learner and hard worker and would make a great member of any work team. I could not recommend her more

We stayed for 2 weeks and had a great relaxing time by the beach. We enjoyed helping the local area and the campsite stay intact and clean, as beautiful parts of the world such as Gjipe should be. During our free time, we went for walks through the canyon and kayaked to the neighbouring beach only accessible by boat. There's also heaps of cats and dogs to hang out with. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you to Mariglen for hosting us :)

We stayed with Anil just under a week and had a beautiful experience! Bardia is such a pictureque and peaceful place and it was lovely to stay in such a wonderful lodge. We helped Anil with photography and marketing. The work was very relaxed and we could do it whenever we liked (which Anil encouraged as he wanted us to also enjoy Bardia). In our free time we borrowed bicycles to explore the area, swam in the river that runs through the guest house and, of course, went into the jungle to see tigers! Anil and his family are wonderful, and they have a cook and gardener too who were great! In addition, if you're into bird watching this is the best lodge in the area - Jit, Anil's dad, is a bird specialist and has been touring for 32 years.

Elena helped me out for about three weeks in early spring. At the time it was too early for all spring duties, but we still got a whole bunch done and Elena was helpful, eager and had a great spirit. She is a happy and smiling person with a mild sense of humor that is easy to be around. Elena is very happy getting out in nature, happy around people, and also all content just on her own. I can warmly give Elena my best recommendations.

Erin is a very kind, respectful and independent person. At school she always showed interest in making her classes interesting and fun, bringing up new topics with the students. As a native English speaker, the kids were able to interact with her American accent and strengthen their pronunciation. At home, Erin always followed all the established rules and it was great to have her with us. Erin makes delicious food and she was always willing to teach me her recipes. Thank you Erin for everything and we look forward to having you back!

I stayed one week with Candice and Te Uira and we worked on camper van projects and the fence. Candice is very knowledgeable and has much information and theories that she can share regarding history, culture and law. I spent the whole week learning and loved it!! The food was delicious and nutritious and I now have a favourite pumpkin recipe to take home with me!! Te Uira and I took walks and had lots of kisses and snuggles. Should you spend time here, she loves to have her front legs massaged ☺️. Thank you for a lovely week and teaching me so much!!

I had the most incredible time in this family. I felt directly at home, I could have stayed there for way longer than two weeks. Emily and Sam are extremely nice and have two wonderful children. It was a real pleasure to take care of the kids. We have been to the beach, the river, in town or even hiking in the forest. You will never get bored in this family, but of course you will get free time. In their house you feel like in the middle of nowhere, it's stunning. The walks with the kids around the house are magic. I strongly recommend this English/Kiwi family:)) I already miss them.

Lena wrote to me a while back asking to stay. Im not normally good with making plans too far in advanced but had a vibe about lena so we kept communitcation open and found a way to make it work. Boy was i glad i did. She was a breath of German air for me !!! To have convos on German and have her help around the house was amazing. Thankyou Lena for ticking off soooo many of my tasks on the to do list that i didnt feel so overwhelmed. Our love of food, nature, music, the kids and order ment we just clicked and things were so smooth I wish you all the best on your travels Im sure we will cross paths again 1 day

Thankyou Ksenia for all your help with the house and Garden and ofcourse with our girls ! Im glad i listened to your previous reviews telling me to say yes as it was well worth it ! I loved the music vibe you created in our house. You understood what was helpful and how to make use of your day. I told you i would write your only downfall is you didnt stop !! 🤣🥰 All the best for your future travels !

Santi is very cool and easy going person. he is very skilled with social media, filming and editing. Santi is very helpful and supportive. he is the type of person who would help as long as he can!. He is very flexible which I appreciated a lot due to my busy schedule. It was much pleasure hosting him and he is very recommended

Mariana, how a nice person you are ! Mariana is very smart, active, helpful, supportive with a very open minded and full of ideas person. She helped me a lot in my project, very flexible and even working more hours than she should do!. In spite of she is limited to working hours but she really cares a lot and never regretted accepting her as my workawayer!. I received so many help with English lessons as well. She is a great teacher and cooker hehe. I was really wonderful hosting her and she is very recommended. Don't miss chance meeting her!

Quel bonheur d’avoir eu la chance de côtoyer Andrea! Toujours partante pour les nouveaux défis, elle a beaucoup d’initiatives et elle s’est joint à notre famille naturellement. Les 3 semaines sont passées très vite à sa compagnie et nous souhaitons la revoir bien vite !

Lieve is such an amazing person full of energy!! She's an extraordinary teacher, We definitely learned a lot from her. Students had so much fun as she had some great activities to share with them. Totally recommend her and wish her the best in her next journeys.

It has been an extraorfinary experience and I feel very lucky and grateful. I enjoyed very much my days with grade1 and Patricia. They deserved the books and hopefully much more ressources. It has been a real privilege to witness your strengh and faith in this project, Alex. It's amazing how it grows. I'm sure you'll attain your goals because you like to improve and learn every day. I wish you all the best. Thanks again

I had a great time staying at Lisa‘s place. She is a really warm and welcoming person with a super cute dog and cat! The tasks I had to do were not difficult and Lisa makes sure you have enough time to explore the Blue Mountains and that you enjoy your stay. I wished I could have stayed longer! But hope to see Lisa again to have some Japanese or French food 🙂All the best for you (:

We spent two weeks with Kieran. Unfortunately, due the weather conditions, we could not work much in the bushes, but we really spent some quality time with him. We met him at Sweaty Palms where we could get really really close the kangaroos. Then we helped him planting some trees at Stanwell Park, which was such a beautiful place and so close to Sydney. Even if we could not help much, we had some really good meals together hehehe. We are very glad the Kieran enjoyed the meals we prepared. Kieran is such a interesting person to meet, he have really good knowledge about the birds and the bushes in the area, so we recommend spending some time with him at Stanwell Park.
