Vom Host für Workawayer (Laura)
Lovely Laura..!! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Laura, she is a beautiful natured young lady who was always willing to help and often I would find her, "just doing " tasks that she saw needed doing without asking .One of the jobs Laura was tasked with was the daunting job of sorting out my linen cupboard...I'm almost too scared to go there now, its

Ah, These pair of funstars ! An absolute pleasure to host. Great helpers too...nothing was a problem for either of them . They enjoyed the dogs and Chloe came for a bush ride on horseback with me . They were a very happy couple who also did a mean crossword...although they do need to come back and finish it. ! Safe travels guys. xx
The best workaway we've been to so far! Shirley and Ueli are wonderful people - welcoming, friendly, and clear with offerings and expectations.
The accommodation was great, super cosy, everything we needed & more.
Ueli is a great cook, and the quality & amount of food is by far the best we've had at a workaway (it's such a valuable part of the
… read more exchange for us, and we couldn't fault them!).
The work was varied, clear tasks, everything we needed to complete them well, and lovely to have a mid morning tea break too.
We wish we had found them at the start of our Tassie trip rather than the end, we would definitely have stayed & helped for longer.
We loved the dogs, great and small, they're full of character and so much fun.
Shirley & Ueli we can't thank you enough for including us your Tassie life, we will miss you!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Matteo)
Ah Matteo ! A lovely young...and very tall fellow ! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Matteo. He is a very polite and respectful young man. He is curious about the world and how things work . And not afraid to ask questions if needed. He has a passion for dirt bikes, and because we enjoyed him so much, we organized to borrow one for his to indulge his

I was traveling around Tasmania looking for a job or at least a place to stay when I came across the opportunity to work for accommodation with Shirley and Ueli. It was my first Workaway experience, so I didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as I arrived, I felt at home.
Shirley and Ueli are wonderful people: easygoing, attentive, and genuinely

I ended up staying for almost two months, and I enjoyed every single day. I’d wake up excited to learn something new.
We worked in the mornings, doing a variety of tasks suited to our individual skills, and had plenty of free time in the afternoons to relax or explore. Their property is huge and beautiful, and they even provided a car to explore the rest of Tasmania.
The meals were always fresh and delicious (Ueli is an amazing cook) and Fridays were pizza nights, something we all looked forward to. The whole atmosphere truly felt like a home away from home.
When they found out about my passion for motorcycles, they surprised me with one. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.
I can't really express with words how meaningful this was for me. One of the best experiences of my life. One I’ll never forget.

Hannah was a delight ! A lovely young lady who fitted right in with us and the rest of the Workaway gang ! Hannah was not afraid of work and pitched in to help with whatever was happening.

Amelie slotted into our family like a daughter . An all round beautiful young lady, polite and respectful, with a good fun sense of humor too. !
Amelie was a very willing and though worker who applied herself to any given task without complaint .
Amelie is a Volunteer firefighter in her homeland and as such she enjoyed a trip to my workplace at

All the animals loved her, as did Ueli and i and it was quite sad to see her go to her next placement. We wish her well in her travels and who knows, one day we shall meet again .
I don't even know where to start. From the first evening, I immediately felt welcome and enjoyed every moment.
I was able to help Ueli with his work with the bees, taste the delicious honey and learn a lot about these hard-working animals.
Shirley took the time for me and showed me her workplace at the fire station. I also got to meet her crew

I am incredibly grateful for that.

Many thanks for everything

Helen, Helen, Helen. ! What too say...We had a fun, interesting, educational and all round good time. ! From working on the old homestead, where she pitched in with all and any jobs, to having her attack my poorly organized pantry and turning it into a thing of beauty . !

I had the best time ever at Kookaburra Hill with the fantastic couple who are Shirley and Ueli. They are talented people in their own right with a range of skills, and who are very generous with their time and sharing their home with workawayers. There are varied tasks for each day with 2 days off per week. I enjoyed helping in the garden and

I stayed with them on 3 separate visits during my 3 months in Tassie. Other workawayers returned to them as well as it was such a positive experience for those with a work ethic. Really Top Hosts. Thank you very much for so many amazing memories.
Iris and Joel were a delight to host, hardworking, friendly and lots of great chats around the meal table. They were both very respectful and applied themselves to any given task. No matter what it was.
During the afternoons they worked on their travelling van of which they were justifiably proud. Iris wrestled with and conquered the sewing

Shirley and Ueli are two wonderful human beings and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their farm.

Shirley and Ueli’s place was a wonderful farm-life experience! We quickly felt at home thanks to their friendly and welcoming nature. The work was a nice mix of gardening, DIY repairs, and art projects, all of which felt meaningful and enjoyable.

I have no words to describe how wonderful the people and home this is. The merry band of Shirley and Ueli with a host of domestic and wild animals in the bush, wonderful family and friends.

I painted, cooked, helped with the horses, took care of the garden, the yard. I always had delicious food. I spent the days of terrible storms and tempests cuddling with the dogs by the fireplace in the man cave. I was given a tremendous amount of understanding for my outsider nature, while also having the space to be part of a family. We spent time together and Christmas and New Year was one of the best holidays of my life. I spent a month and a half there. And I feel that they will forever be a part of my home and family in my heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time.
Ah what fun these two were ! Always bright and cheery and bantering with us and between themselves, we really enjoyed them. ! Malin and Kielan were very willing to "have a crack " at any tasks and applied themselves with good humor and work ethic. They enjoyed the animals and may have spoilt them, just a little!

We absolutely loved our stay at Shirley and Ueli's amazing and beautiful farm (the pictures don't give it justice)! The workdays flew by and Ueli and Shirley made sure that no day was the same. We build fences, dug trenches, washed ponies and painted a bus stop, to name a few activities. And after work Ueli would make the most delicious meals and

And so are their 2 cats, 2 ponies, 3 goats and 12 horses . It is animal Paradise! We felt at home the second we arrived and made friends with their two daughters Mel and Holly, who took us line dancing!! It was just the best experience ever and we didn't want to leave after nearly three weeks (That's why we came back three days later when we were in the area with our camper van) and I really do hope we'll see each other again soon! All in all a 12/10 experience! Thank you for everything!!!

This has been the best experience ever! Shirley and Uli are amazing people, the entire family was a blessing for us, so kind and generous. We helped them building a garden shed and a pergola, including a few painting and gardening tasks. The work was fun and we learnt a lot of Uli's skills. I (Araceli) went with Shirley to visit her workplace as a

Days in the farm flew, after working with Uli, we spent every afternoon building our campervan, and then share a great meal and drinks with the family in their private bar: "The Lab". Uli and Shirley's daughters and husbands invited us to their houses and we became friends of them as well, a week after leaving we met them in Hobart to spend the weekend together. Finally, but not less important, you have to know that their 5 doggies are just perfect, it is so good to see how animals are lucky to be loved like that. This family is just the best. Thanks for everything you did for us. See you in Christmas xxDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

What to say about these two!!! We had a great time, so many laughs, achieved some goals for both parties and really, decided we should adopt or kidnap and keep them.!
Whilst here, we built a super little shed in the community garden, and a pergola. Luke being a joiner, kept it on the straight and narrow...the cabin is nearly accommodation worthy!

Luke and Araceli purchased a blank camper van which they worked on in the afternoons and free days and they transformed it into a thing of absolute beauty! They both possess a wonderful artistic flair, which made the van a home.
Araceli treated us to some wonderful Chile cooking and in turn they enjoyed Uelis inventive cooking.! Both Luke and Araceli are now firmly a part of the family, and we look forward to them returning for Christmas with us.! If not before !
Vom Workawayer (Ryoko) für Host
I was in a state of deep shock when I arrived at Shirley and Ueli's place because my previous host had unexpectedly passed while I was workawaying. Seeing him actively walking around to experiencing some physical pains to passing in a matter of few days was traumatizing.
Shirley and Ueli gave me a place to rest and heal against such a background.
… read more They welcomed me at their home like a family member. Their daughters and sons-in-laws are equally warm-hearted. I had a nice cabin to myself with balcony, and I loved hearing and seeing birds chirping while drinking coffee in the balcony in the morning. It was very relaxing. The main house frequently had guests such as neighbors and there were lots of laughters. Ueli cooked delicious dinners and I was happy to taste this and that cheese in the sauce etc., and learn about what makes great cheese.
Work was primarily weeding and painting, and it basically started whenever I woke up. There was generally a lot of flexibility.
One of the days Shirley took me to her hometown where her parents' then-house is located and it was nice to hear the little history of the town and how it changed/ unchanged overtime. I also happened to get on a fire engine (at Shirley's workplace) for the first time in my life and got excited about all the gadgets like a little child.
All in all, I had a relaxing, secure place to stay and I thank them for all that which they have given me.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

A pleasure to host Ryoko. She was a very quiet and respectful guest, who helped us with some painting and general jobs around the farm.
The weather wasn't overly kind to us during her visit, but she braved the wind and rain like a trooper!
We wish her well on her life adventures.

We stayed at Shirley and Ueli's lovely property for almost two weeks. We wanted to stay longer, but we had to continue our travel because we got hired at Cradle mountain..
