Vom Host für Workawayer (Tanya)
We absolutely adored having Tee and Paul stay at our place and help us get motivated on laying mud bricks. Paul’s efforts helping us on the walls were muchly appreciated. Tee worked tirelessly on parts of my garden I wouldn’t have thought I’ve ever do and I am so grateful she chose to give love (weeding, feeding, cardboarding and mulching) to

We welcome Tee and Paul back anytime as they are simply wonderful company. Thanks again guys xoxoxo

What can I say, except first class all the way. Kate, Peter and Leyland not only invite you into their home they invite you into their family and treat you with love and generosity. Pete & Kate introduced us to friends and family and involved us in their social life including shouting us to a great music festival and the family Christmas dinner.

The work is varied and tailored to suit your interest and ability, there is tonnes to do from building projects to gardening. Leyland is a breath of fresh air and 8 year old that spends his time outside getting dirty, loved his enthusiasm for speed. Really do yourself a favour spend some time with these beautiful, generous and lots of fun family.

I stayed for a few weeks with this wonderful family back in 2022 and somehow (sorry!!!) time got away from me and suddenly I've gone two years without leaving a review! It was only now, in late 2024 that I'm looking back over my fond memories with them that I'm realizing I never left a message here...
Most of my time spent with them was helping

The rest was lots of time spent with Kate, Pete, Leyland, Zazu and sometimes lovely Pammy + Bry doing family activities and odd jobs. Unfortunately much of my time here was in the rainy season, so not as much garden work was done as Kate would have liked, and looking back I feel like I should/could have given back to them more, considering how good they were to me. I hope one day I can come back and make up for it!!! Also, maybe I'll be around to partake in a Barongathirst race weekend lol ;)
This was my first-ever Workaway , and my first ever solo abroad experience. At this point I had begun missing my family back in Canada, and I couldn't have asked for a kinder group of people to feel at home with. I miss you guys! Sorry this took so long to write!! Thanks for everything :D

Margo is absolute gold! We adored her and all the skills she had to offer. What a wonderful skill set she has for a young person. Her ability to relate to our son and also to us and our friendship circle was a delight to see.

Vom Workawayer (Ivan) für Host
I stayed at Kate and Pete's property in the bush for 2 weeks. My tasks largely involved helping Kate with gardening work, such as cutting back, planting new plants, preparing compost. If I had some technical building skills I would have been able to help Pete with the mud brick house that he was building!
Kate and Pete were warm and sincere

Really enjoyed the lushness of their property. Kate was cultivating several permaculture gardens and I learnt loads about permaculture when helping out in those gardens. Took away a few ideas that I'm excited to implement back home!
I'd definitely want to return for a visit when I next plan a visit to the region. Take care Kate, Pete and Leyland!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I had such a lovely time with Kate, Pete and Leyland! Such a beautiful area they live in, and a really cool setup they have at home! I felt very at home here and really enjoyed their company and sharing family meals together, and there was always plenty to do while they were away too. The lack of internet really was no issue, it was actually quite

There was quite a range of jobs to do around the place which was super nice, it never felt repetitive. I helped out quite a bit in the garden, such as with weeding, mulching, planting, watering, clearing sticks, picking flowers and helping to create a garden bed. My favourite job was helping work on their new house, hammering in lots of nails and helping Pete to install the rusty iron deck skirting, both to prepare for the arrival of their decking. I really enjoyed that they both would work with me when either one of them was home too.
Thank you again for having me, I had a blast! x

7/5 stars if possible!!! We spend 5 wonderful weeks with Pete, Kate and Leyland. It started with a heartwarming welcome and went on like this.

We met their families and friends and even had an awesome time with them. We learned things like concreting, perma culture, mud brick making (fun thing), motorbike riding, building etc. Also we had a couple of walks and daytrips with them, much bike rides, outside fires and an incredible time with Leyland who is such a great kid. We really hope we can see these guys again and hiiighly recommend them. Love, Felix & LeonieDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Meg, it was an absolute pleasure to have you join us for a month. Leyland loved hanging out with you in his adventure backyard, and we loved exploring with you.

Dear future workaways, if you look for a lovely family in the forest including lots of fun and kindness, here you found! ;)
Looking after their gorgeous child is a pleasure, I really enjoyed to. He’s a good boy, openminded for new people and any situation. I think he’s the most independent 2 years old I’ve met :D
Kate has a cute vegetable garden

About the mud brick task I can’t really tell, as we didn’t started them yet, but you’ll have fun (sorry Pete for not being able to help you with the house)
I loved to meet your family and friends, thanks for introducing! I’m so grateful for the stay with you, i really enjoyed! It was the best start in my adventure I could wish for. Thank you so much for making me feel like home!! (It’s kind of hard to create an fulfilling feedback, as you have been so good to me)
