Vom Workawayer (Alicia) für Host
I had the most amazing time with Alex and Fiona (who I only saw for a couple of days unfortunately). I know everyone already mentioned the food, but it honestly was incredible and changed my life :) The work was always fun and very interesting, I was able to learn so much and there was also enough free time to explore the area or watch some

Alicia stayed at our farm for a month, helping my husband while I was overseas. She was very conscientious, excellent with the animals; dogs, horses, poultry and cattle. Alicia performed a diverse range of tasks including feeding the horses and bottlefeeding a calf. She used the ride on mower. Maintained the orchard. Helped treat cattle for

She was good company and we would highly recommend her.

I stayed for two weeks with Fiona and Alex and had a really amazing time!! It was my first time doing workaway and I’m so so glad I got to stay with them.
Fiona and Alex are both very kind, generous and open hearted and they both have a great sense of humour! I had a lot of amazing conversations with them and felt really welcomed from the

The work I did was always very fair and I learned a lot! Some of the tasks I did was weeding/mulching the orchard, cleaning the shed, feeding the animals and helping with cattle work. Fiona and Alex both helped me when I had a question and always explained what they expected. After a few days, I got into a routine which I really enjoyed.
I also got to spend a lot of time with Fiona and her three lovely horses Fairy, Ava and Monash. Fiona explained me a lot about clicker training which was amazing and I helped her with grooming them and getting ready for rides. It was always a pleasure to watch her work with her horses and I got to start clicker training with Fairy which was so great!
Besides the cows, horses and chickens, they have three amazing dogs. Stella, Ben and Reggie are really lovely and they love to play ball or cuddle. I will miss them so much!
During my stay, I also had the opportunity to explore a lot of places around their home. Whenever it was possible, they took me with them and I always enjoyed our trips. Besides, they picked me up and dropped me off at the train station when I arrived/ left which was super nice!
The food they both make is absolutely amazing. There is my life before having their breakfast, lunch and dinner and then my life after having it, which I absolutely prefer! :) Every meal was different and really delicious.
I highly recommend staying here if you want to experience farm life!!
Thank you again, Fiona and Alex, for the wonderful two weeks! I’m very grateful for the time I got to spend with you and hope to be able to come back soon. :)

Alicia is an extremely mature and thoughtful young woman. She fitted right into our family and worked extremely well with the other helper we had at the same time. She picked up every task asked of her easily and did it to the best of her ability. Alicia fed, rugged and groomed the horses. She put on fly veils and helped me tack up. She handled

Stuart and Rennie stayed with us for 3 weeks and they were fantastic. They are really good helpers who learn really quickly. They fitted in harmoniously in the house, chipping in and helping even after a hard, hot days work. While here they did a large amount of fencing, using the tractors and power tools as required. They helped with cleaning up

We were so confident in their abilities we left them to farmsit one weekend while we went to Sydney. They cared for horses, chooks, dogs and cattle while we were gone. To top it off they both have a great sense of humour and we enjoyed their company. I would highly recommend then to any hosts.Feedback

Vom Host für Workawayer (Emily)
Emily was a pleasure to host. She completed all tasks asked of her to a high standard. She was competent and confident with the horses. She enjoyed learning about Australian life on a farm. Emily's work mainly consisted of gardening, pruning, mulching and weeding. She also handled the horses for the farrier, cleaned out my hayshed and fed and

Vom Workawayer (Emily) für Host
Fiona and Alex were the most amazing hosts!! I stayed with them for about 10 days and loved my routine that I got into while I was there. I got up around 7am to feed the horses, and did a couple farm chores during the day, and then we all were in bed before 10pm. The misty mornings were so relaxing and I saw some beautiful sunset, too. Some of the
… read more work I did was weeding/mulching the gardens, cleaning out loose hay from the stable, mowing the riding area in preparation for laying down sand, and feeding animals. I found all of the work to be very fair and honestly sometimes therapeutic!
I was lucky enough to be there when the first calf of the season was born and we ended up having to bottle-feed him which was very cute. I also went on a trail ride with Fiona and her neighbor which was lovely! On my day off, Fiona dropped me off in Port Macquarie, and I walked all around the town, up the coast, went to the Koala Hospital (highly recommend!), and saw whales at Tacking Point Lighthouse. I also got to watch Fiona clicker train and ride her ponies a few times.
Not only was the scenery gorgeous and the work easy, but the food that Fiona and Alex made was 5-star quality!! They made some very creative, balanced, diverse meals and I literally loved every meal. The conversations I had with them were also very entertaining, and both Fiona and Alex have a great sense of humor. I loved watching sports games or a show with them in the evenings and completely fell in love with all of the animals during my stay. I highly highly recommend this Workaway for anyone looking to be close to Port Macquarie and who wants to experience a relaxing farm life.
Thank you, Fiona and Alex, so much for the best stay!!

I stayed at Fiona and Alex's farm for one week and it was such an amazing experience!! both of them were extremely kind and they showed me around the area and offered me to join all sorts of things! such as volunteering, birdwatching and lots of interesting conversations!!

Jill was an absolute pleasure to host. She was very quick to learn tasks and completed all work to a very high standard. While she was with us Jill prepared feeds for a bottle fed calf and her mother, she helped me paint the exterior of the house, which she did to a really high standard, some weeding and general house and farm duties.

What a great stay! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Fiona and Alex. They were great hosts and their property is beautiful. From the start they were very accommodating. They were nice enough to pick me up from the Port Macquarie bus stop and treated me to takeaway by the local beach. They were so sweet in modifying their diet during my stay and
… read more made the most delicious vegetarian meals. Thank you Alex for all of your yummy creations. Dare I say some were even good for you!
I loved waking up early in the morning and taking in the fog covered hills with cows roaming around. The work mainly consisted of painting their house which was a task Fiona and I tackled while she introduced me to Australian indigenous music. On hot days, she made sure we stayed hydrated and start a bit earlier and move onto an indoor task if needed. The dogs, Stella, Ben, and Reggie stole my heart and will want to play fetch w you. Oh and I was able to bottle feed a calf, Midget. The cutest little thing. Fiona and Alex were happy to answer any of my questions about their property and discuss life in Australia. They've also travel so much it was great to hear their recommendations.
I stayed for two weeks and would have loved to stayed longer if I didn’t already have plans. A good relaxing stop in between Brisbane and Sydney. Port Macquarie had a great costal walk and a Koala Hospital you should check out if you are lucky enough to stay with Fiona and Alex. I didn't have a car so stayed on the property most of my time though they were able to drop me off in town if schedules aligned. If you want to see the sights more a car is recommended.
