Vom Workawayer (Samantha & Dino) für Host
I cannot overstate how wonderful it was staying with Eliza and Matthew (and even their daughter Molly for a bit). We immediately felt at home (perhaps thanks to the guinea fowls) and were completely at ease in their beautiful home. As a family, they are incredibly interesting, easy-going, funny, and most importantly, all amazing cooks. Every

The room in the house is very comfortable with its own bathroom and offers a great view of the fields! The work was as advertised, consisting of weeding, strimming, and splitting wood, and the 4-5 hour workday was respected. Some of the tasks, like splitting wood and strimming, were quite physical, which we enjoyed!
When you're not feasting, working, or playing with the three stooges (their very playful dogs—Bertie, Buster, and Billy), there's plenty to explore around the area. Lough Gur is great and also surrounded by historical significance. There's a market gardener, Kevin, renting part of the property who also uses workawayers, and they were great fun. Adam, who is there full-time, was happy to include us in their excursions. You're also only 40 minutes from Limerick, making it easy to access just about anywhere in the country.
We were sad to leave, but it was a fantastic experience filled with learning, especially in gardening skills, history, and random fun facts from Matthew!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Samantha & Dino)
Sammy and Dino are excellent Workaways, and I have to say that I can echo everything said in the previous review. They are both very mature for their ages, efficient organised workers and no job was ever too difficult. If ever uncertain about a task, they asked questions to clarify. While here, they helped us with splitting and loading wood,

They are both great company and we had so many interesting discussions with them about South Africa and their many other travels. They lived in our house with us and were very easy to have around.
Without reservation, I highly recommend them! Thank you both so much for all your hard work. I hope our paths cross again one day.
Vom Workawayer (Miriam) für Host
My friend Silvia and I enjoyed our first workaway with Matthew and Eliza and I have to say that we were really really lucky!! They are wonderful cooks …Every single dish was delicious. They are also a wonderful couple. Always open and kind. They helped us improving our english and sometimes we taught them some italian words and also italian habit…

Working hours were flexible. We had jobs like weeding, pruning, cleaning windows, painting. Nothing too hard. We felt in love with their dogs (Billie I Miss you!! But also Bertie and Buster) We had the pleasure to know their daughter Mollie.
They also have a piano and during my free time I practiced piano with online lessons.
I definitely recommend them as hosts and I will come back for sure!!Vom Host für Workawayer (Miriam)
I can't say enough good things about Miriam. She is an excellent worker, full of energy and very good humor!

Miriam is 100 percent reliable, very organized and was at all times a good communicator, always checking with us if she wasn't sure about something. She and Sylvia whiled away a number of evenings at our piano, Miriam played and Sylvia sang. It was a joy to hear them!
We miss them and hope they will return to visit us again one day!

I stayed for three weeks at Eliza´s and Matthew´s place in October and I felt welcomed from the first day. They were very nice people, who took good care of me. They also took me everywhere, when I asked them, so I could explore the area. Furthermore they cook very delicious meals and they helped me to improve my English. During my time I did a

Vom Host für Workawayer (Lena & Alexandre)
I can't say enough good things about Lena and Alex. They spent two weeks with us in July and helped out with a variety of tasks, all of which they completed to perfection. Most of the tasks were in the garden - weeding and strimming, but on rainy days, they helped out in the house. They treated us to a number of memorable meals (and cakes!) and

We spent two great weeks with Matthew and Eliza. The house is lovely. They cook delicious meals. We learnt a lot about Irish way of life and English language. It was really nice to talk to them.

Vom Workawayer (Henrik) für Host
I stayed with Eliza and Matthew for a month. I was warmly welcomed into the family. I felt very comfortable with you from day one. I was very lucky that both of you are good cooks and cook freshly every day. Often with their own fruit and vegetables from the garden.
Eliza is a good English teacher and was able to help me improve my English skills.

The work on site was mainly garden, wood and painting as mentioned in the description. The working hours can be divided flexibly, which I really liked. In your free time, you can go hiking on site or explore the area on longer bicycle tours. I also had a lot of fun with your three funny dogs.
So in conclusion I can only say that I had a very nice time
with Eliza and Mathew
and can recommend it to everyone.
I will gladly come again.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Workawayer (Matteo & Nicoletta) für Host
This was our first workaway experience and it couldn't be better. The family is really nice and we had a good time with them. Our accomodation was clean and comfortable. Our main jobs were weeding, strimming, planting, pruning and it wasn't hard at all. During the weekends we had the possibility of visiting amazing places near the house and

We had no difficulty with the language, also because Eliza is a good teacher, she speaks really clearly and she helped us improving our English correcting mistakes. She and her husband are very good cooks too, we tried meals of different cultures, and they gave us some amazing recipes. We were also delighted by her daughter's cakes.
We heartily recommend this family if you want to spend some time surrounded by nature.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Eliza is also English teacher, so she helped us to improve our English.
They borrowed us bikes, so we could do weekend trip to some interesting places

We were SO lucky to meet Jana & Vaclav and have them stay and work with us for 3 weeks. They are both incredibly hard and efficient workers; no job was too much for them.
