Vom Workawayer (Luise) für Host
I had the best time at Bill's place! I stayed there for 3 months and I wish I could have stayed for the whole season. I definitely recommend a longer stay to get the best experience. Bill appreciated my help and made my stay as good as possible. I would have snuggled Malibu and Major in my backpack if I could. Thank you Bill for this great time!

I really enjoyed my Workaway at Bill's. The routine with the horses was nice and the cabin was comfortable and spacious. It was really interesting learning about and watching the polo events. The countryside around the area is very nice and the climate is fantastic (which I really appreciated, being a Melbournite!). Bill is super friendly,

Nicole stayed with us for a few weeks and was a great help. She worked well with the horses and I would say an intermediate rider. She was very punctual and respectful and looked after the accommodation and kept everything neat and tidy.

The stay with Bill, Rachael and the kids was awesome! We went to Polo events which was an amazing experience. The horses were easy to ride and all in all lovely.

Vom Workawayer (Barbara) für Host
Bill and his family welcomed me very warmly and I felt comfortable from the first second. On the very first day, I had the chance to accompany Bill and the horses to a polo game and was able to catch fire for polo directly.
99% of my tasks consisted of horse-related work and training of the horses. All horses are very well trained and easy to

Bill is a great horse person who cares about his horses much. His attitude towards the horses is absolutely fair.
In the polo season, polo games take place almost every weekend. There you help preparing the horses and taking care afterwards. These days can be long, but in my opinion it's worth it!
When Bill is on business trips you might have the chance to have free weekends and you can also plan an overnight trip in consultation with him.
Sometimes Bill's friends come by to train Bill's or their own horses. Otherwise, life in the countryside is more characterized by animals and nature.
Bill and his family are super sociable and they are dear people you can talk great and thus learn a lot about life in Australia.
The accommodation is a dream, you have your own cabin. The bathroom has been recently renovated and the rest of the equipment is also great. There is even heating for the colder months. You definitely have everything you need to have a good time. Food is paid for by Bill and there are enough kitchen appliances that you can provide yourself with great dishes.
It's really a shame that I could only stay for 2 weeks. Since I felt like at home, I could have stayed longer without any problems.
I was so enthusiastic about Polo that I can now try to play it at home and then hopefully one day play a game with or against Bill.
I will definitely come back if I have the chance to do so!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

(Sorry for the late feedback.)
I stayed at Bill's place for two weeks in May 2018 and what a wonderful stay it was! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! it was my first time in Australia and I had such a good time working with the horses and learned so much from Bill about everything that Polo is about. I wish I could have stayed
… read more longer and would definitely wanna go back! This is a place that I highly recommend with beautiful accommodations. Every morning I would have breakfast overlooking the beautiful Australian landscape and watching kangaroos in my backyard.
Thank you so much Bill to you and your family for having me!

G'day mates !
What can I say about my seven weeks at Bill's farm except that it was perfect, so thank you very much ! Fifteen thousand kilometers far away my home, I have learnt a new culture and I lived the australian way of life.
Bill, Rachael, Jack and Daisy are a very friendly family.
A typical day at the farm for me was to ride the horses
… read more in the morning and do some farm work in the afternoon.
I discovered the Polo universe and it's really interesting !
The accommodation is very comfortable and you have a great view into their olive orchard.
I have learnt a lot during this stay, and I will never forget all the good moments we shared together, with the family and also with the others workawayers, in general, at the Polo trainings or also in the night around the fire sharing beers !
Thanks mate for all !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We spent three amazing weeks at Bill's Polo Farm. Bill and his family are absolutely lovely people. We had a couple delicious dinner together. Rachel is a really good cook :)
We learned a lot of interesting things about Australia and the Aussie lifestyle.
The horses are very good trained. We fell in love with their personalities. It was a lot

We learned how to play Polo and had very much fun playing small fun games with Bill's neighbour.
Thank you so much for this unfogetable experience!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Gaby was a great helper at our farm. She is a really positive person and did a great job looking after our horses as well as helping around the house and with the children. I would recommend Gaby for any other Workaway position...

I had a great experience here! Beautiful place, lovelies horses, amazing sunrises from your room. I recommend this volunteer, Bill and his family, they are amazing.

This place was perfect for me. I stayed here until I found a real job and still come back to continue ride the horses. You wil have your own house, sometimes shared with other workawayers. You have money to make your shopping and cook your food and sometimes you can eat with Rachel, Bill, Jack and Daisy. This family was very friendly. The job is

Vom Host für Workawayer (Rose )
Rose came for a few weeks but ended up staying for 2 months! She was such a great help to us, very low maintenance and really independent. Rose worked with our horses and was especially great with our two young horses. She was very patient with them and although only just broken in and 2 years old, after a few weeks she was riding them in just a

Staying here has been the best start to my time in Australia. Bill and Rachel are very welcoming and generous, and are very comfortable people to be around. The "work" is great fun, caring for and riding the horses, attending polo matches on the weekends, and perhaps the occasional babysitting, which is also quite fun; Daisy and Jack are very

The accommodation is also perfect as far as I'm concerned: a separate cabin with a view into their olive orchard, which is usually quite full of kangaroos, birds, rabbits and a variety of other creatures. It's a relaxed and accepting atmosphere out here, I would highly recommend a stay at their place to anyone!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
