Vom Workawayer (Emma & Arran) für Host
For just under two weeks, Tammy and Phil welcomed us to their lovely family home in Brinsmead, Cairns, where it was agreed that we would complete various jobs around the house and garden in return for bread and board. The work was fair from the perspectives of time and effort, and we feel like we received more than enough in return for our
… read more efforts. Another generous offer was to provide us with lifts (and even transportation) when needed.
Their family is inclusive, fun, and exciting; a perfect start to our travels down the East Coast of Australia. Particular highlights included a family trip to the Table Lands Tinarloo Falls Dam by Yungaburra where we had a picnic and experienced Phil's powerful jetski and towable biscuit. We were able to see the agriculture which takes place in the area and try the local produce. We met plenty of family friends throughout our stay who shared similar values to Phil and Tam. Other activities included visiting a local brewery and distillery.
During our stay we had plenty of time to explore the area independently. We completed two hikes through lush rainforest. Also, a tour with Silversonic provided the opportunity to dive the Great Barrier Reef. Tammy and Phil's extensive experience working in the backpacker industry and travelling themselves is an invaluable asset when working with them.
We now consider Tam and Phil to be close friends after our stay, and an inspiration for how to manage a young family. The couple have two young girls, who we enjoyed doing activities with such as piano, basketball, and minecraft in the evenings after school. Also, a special shout out to Chester the Cavapoo - the most endearing and well behaved butterfly chasing dog we have met. The many conversations we shared have been extremely deep and meaningful. We really felt like part of the family, to the extent where after both of us falling ill for a short period of time, we were provided with care and time to recover.

We just loved this couple! Within 3 days we asked them to stay longer. They are very hard, committed workers who genuinely wanted to do a good job. They really do know how to clean properly and are wonderful, passionate cooks. Emma ‘is French but her English is perfect. We had so many great, interesting conversations. Our kids loved them (a mean

We promise to try to keep it as clean as you left it! We wish them happy and safe travels and are welcome back.

We stayed one week at Tammy and Phil’s place and, for our first workaway, we couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. We talked for hours about their past travels, their hobbies or just about anything and everything! They made us feel welcome and we had great time together every dinner. Their daughters were adorable and made the home lively,

It was a great pleasure to cook French meals for them every night, they were delighted to discover new dishes. We didn't have a car, and they didn't hesitate to show us around and recommend places. Thanks again for having us, we hope to cross your path again one day!

Nina and Leo were a dream to host. They are both very passionate about cooking beautiful french food, and very good at cleaning with an excellent attention to detail. They were easy to be around, great conversation and just a really lovely couple with lots of interesting stories. Nothing was a problem, they didn't need much instruction and they

They stayed a week and they were welcome to stay longer. Leo cleaned my fridge so well it looked brand new! We definitely miss them and their cooking already. Definitely recommend them.

Staying with Tammy, Phil and the girls was such a good workaway experience! It was only our second workaway, but I can only hope that the following ones will be as good. Tammy and Phil shared stories of their world travels, and I really enjoyed sharing dinner with them each night. They made it easy on us by picking out the recipes for us to cook
… read more each night, and were laidback enough to leave us lists and trust us to take care of what needed to be done around the house. Being around Safi and Livvy was so much fun--the girls have so much energy and the cutest little personalities. Their home on in the rainforest was really cool as well, and they were kind enough to give us lifts to local swimming holes and the skyrail so that we could explore even more. Thanks for having us, maybe we will see you in Florida one day :)
Best,

It was a pleasure being a part of Angel family. They really incorporated us in their everyday life, fun and busy, full of love and sincere emotions.
Although they are really busy, you can count on their full attention, they are always there to share thoughts or do everything to help with any little detail that really shouldn't be their

We enjoyed it to be a part of the family and to live in this unique house in the middle of the rainforest.
