Vom Workawayer (Stephanie) für Host
What a truly fantastic experience staying with Jen and her family. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome the moment we met. This is such a warm, easy going and fun family to stay with! Not only did my friend and I both get our own comfortable rooms but Jen feeds you so well, I genuinely miss her cooking. We instantly became part of the
… read more family, watched movies together, went to the dam, ballet performance and had good conversations. I also need to point out all of the kind advice and help I received in relation to my job search and going for an interview out of town.
I can't recommend this family enough and would be delighted to return for another stay. This is a real experience on an Australian farm with amazing hosts and cute animals. Jen is always happy to share her horse knowledge or even give you a hair cut when you desperately need one (which she is actually pretty good at by the way).
Thanks again so much for hosting us and trusting us to look after the house and animals in your absence!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We had an amazing time living with Jen, Sean and the rest of the family.

We spent three weeks with the Synnotts and felt like part of the family from the very first day.

Furthermore we were always treated very respectful, our work was appreciated, communication was always straightforward and warmhearted. As a matter of fact we even had enough time for ourselves and got the opportunity to use the car to explore for our own purposes.
If you think about experiencing an authentic Australian family time than the Synnotts are the perfect choice. We can`t wait to see them again one day!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Gosh, we wish we could give Beth 10 stars - five does not seem adequate. Beth is an incredible helper - intelligent, intuitive, great company and has a fabulous work ethic.

Annika stayed with us for a month and was a wonderful help in our chaotic household. She got on well with our three daughters and our many animals. Annika quickly learnt how to handle and feed our horses and was always cleaning. She was always polite and really good company. We wish Annika well on her travels and will be keeping in touch.
Vom Workawayer (Hannes & Johanna) für Host
We spent 3 wonderful weeks with the Synnotts and the time in Boonah will stay in our memories forever.

The house is really beautiful and spacious. The family is very

Highlights were the Sunday Girls Trip to the nearby vineyard, the Horse Trek and the Glider Flight - but just as much we will remember the numerous breathtaking sunsets and pizza nights.
The work consisted of every day tasks such as cleaning the house, preparing dinner, picking up girls from the bus, caring for animals and watering plants. Additional tasks can come up if you're handy and have at least little experience with maintenance/repairs/tools...
We had lots of free time to enjoy and relax, were allowed to use their car for trips in the region and were invited to horse treks.
Thank you all very much for having us and lots of love and cuddles to the dogs, horses and the cat!

Wow, where to start writing about this fabulous, energetic couple. Hannes and Johanna fitted in to our family and chaotic life on our farm from day one.

We stayed a week housesitting at Jens and Seans house while they went to a wedding and we had the most amazing time.

I've had an amazing time experiencing a real Australian family. Boonah is a small and remote town but has enough to offer. And surrounding areas are beautiful.

Jenny and Sean are such wonderful and helpful people. I'm so impressed by Jenny for being a hard working woman, mom and best pumpkinsoup-maker ever. Thank you for putting in effort helping me find an au-pair job!
It was great talking to Sean about our favourite tv shows ;)
Those were the humans, now the animals:
Oreo and Daisy were wonderful, even though I'm a cat person, I loved these dogs!! Especially Daisy, we had a special connection. And Domino, the new puppy! I felt so lucky to be there when a arrived, he's so cute but also a pooping and biting monster.
And ofcourse the horses. On my last day I got the chance to ride Sassy, that was a great experience and Sassy was wonderful for letting me (an unexperienced rider) sit on her back.
In conclusion: great place, great people, great animals!
Thanks for having me :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
