We were Magrit's first workaway experience and we could not recommend her more highly. She is helpful, happy to do anything from labouring in the mud to mopping floors. She was lovely with our 3 boys and we were sad to say goodbye!

Grant and Jess were nothing short of wonderful from the moment we met them making us feel like part of the family treating us with love and respect and their kids zach, josh and tyler also welcomed us into their world by giving us tours of the local woods and thrashing us at hide and seek and football alike. They kindly let us stay in their… read more

We wish them all the best for their travels and would not hesitate to recommend them as… read more

Jess, Grant and the kids were all good... I only spent 7 days at their house, but I felt I was part of the family. The room, the bed, the whole house and the ambience of the farm were cosy. They have a lot of plans about organizing the farm, I hope they get everything they want! They deserve it!
Jess, Grant and family: Thanks for everything...… read more

Andrei spent 10 days with us and was a pleasure to have him in our home, he is a nice friendly guy. He got along well with our kids and was very hard working and easy going. We wish him well on his travels and he is welcome back anytime. Good luck Andrei.
