The biggest help with helpers is when they have some initiative, as I'm not always available to hold peoples hands.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Mario)

Mario was an absolute pleasure to host....always keeping himself busy using initiative and positivity..... and when he wasn't working he would entertain us with his talent on the piano. Mario also always made himself available to help other guests and workers we had/have, and in no time at all, felt like part of the family. I highly recommend… read more

I had an excellent time at Damon's place. He's very kind and relaxed. I helped with different things so I didn't get bored. Some days I helped tyding up some stuff from the workshop, other days I helped moving stuff, removing rubbish from the place and the activity that I enjoyed the most was helping painting part of a beautiful mural he has on… read more

We stayed at Damon's for a while. Damon is a really good guy, generous and helpful! There are so many works to do, you can make everything, just you have to find the tools! :-) The hostel is a great place to chill out, meet good people and there are many spots for hikking... I definitely recommend this place!

Thanks, Damon and maybe see you next… read more

Damon is a truly lovely guy. However, he has taken in an extremely large project and will need all the help he can get (which he deserves).

Our room was warm and comfortable even though it was winter. The common areas would benefit from more though. Meals were plentiful and generous.

Our work was balanced and fair. During our time off, Damon… read more

NOT IN HAMILTON!
This place got unique vibe you might want to check. I stayed at Damon's place for 5 days and I enjoyed a lot. Damon is a super chill host and he had a clear idea about what he wants me to do, which made things easier. Work was enjoyable and chilled. I was really happy with the accomodation(private room with heater and sink!), and… read more

We only got to stay at Damon's for a few days, but we really enjoyed it. He's super chill about letting you figure out when you want to work (e.g. doing two day's work one day and then taking the next off). He's also a great cook and we enjoyed having dinner with him and some other workawayers each night we were there.

We spent 10 days at this place and we had great time! The main task was feeding the animals - a few cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, a dog and a cat. We were cleaning one food van as well and preparing it for an upcoming festival. Other tasks included cleaning the house and around it and helping with some small projects.

I spent a week at Demon's place and it was good. There is always something to do. The place is very chill, you are quite free to work whenever you want as far as you do your job by the end of the day.
Things have a bit changed (from the description ) so now the volunteers are cooking for dinner. And no worries there are always plenty of food to… read more

Damons place is great! The people make this place so great. The athmosphere is laid-back and chill and theres always something to do. The occasional bonfire is definitely a plus. We only spent a couple days at the House but we already felt at home. We'll try to visit again on our way back.

We spent a great few days at Damon's and Rachel's farm! From the first minute they made us feel welcome. Thanks to their passion there is a great spirit of community around the place!

These days, as we're getting older, and travellers are generally getting younger, there are times when one wonders whether they have enough every to remain a host.....Then along come a couple like Victor and Katrin, and make it all worth while....I can not say enough.
