Vom Workawayer (Una ) für Host

Helping at Megan and Brent's hostel was so enjoyable! It was a pleasure to help with the daily cleaning of rooms, the communal kitchen, and bathrooms. The work was easy because they maintain a high standard of cleanliness with a supervisor checking to ensure the cleaning was done properly each day. Volunteers have their own space in a lovely old… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Sean)

We had the pleasure of having Sean here for two weeks. He mainly did odd jobs in the garden (which he carried out perfectly) and sometimes helped out with housekeeping. He is easy to get along with, always smiling and always willing to learn new things. We completely recommend Sean and wish him all the best for his further travels!

The work was not to hard and fair. Most of the time it's around 2 hours with fairly simple tasks like housekeeping oder… read more

Vom Workawayer (Rosa) für Host

This was a really great first Workaway experience for me. Hervey Bay is a great place to go to relax and Urangan peer and the botanic gardens are both nice places to visit. Also, if you like yoga, there are lots of really good yoga studios to go to before or after work. The work is only for a couple hours a day and consists of relatively simple… read more

Being part of a relaxed and welcoming environment created by the staff and guests was the perfect way to start my journey through Australia.
Megan and Brent are fantastic hosts who hold a high standard to their hostel, which I respect greatly. On top of that, you stay literally 7 minutes from the beach and can watch both the sun rise and sun set… read more

Vom Workawayer (Joseph) für Host

I spent about a month here to kick off my Working Visa, and I couldn't have asked for better! The work was easy to learn, takes only about 1.5 to 3 hours in the morning (usually about 2 hrs.), and Brent and Megan were really good natured and helpful.
Hervey Bay is a very quiet town, with not too much to see (don't miss the pier, Saturday markets… read more

I spent two weeks at this beautiful hostel. The work wasn't that hard, the people was amazing and I will have really good memories of it. I lived in the stuff house which was super cool and I got to know some good people and we had a lot of fun together.

I spent 2 weeks at this wonderful hostel. The people, the accommodation, and the work was amazing! Megan and Brent are such kind people and will do anything possible to make sure you feel comfortable. Asking them for a favor was not a problem at all, especially when I had to take two days off. In fact, we could compromise when it came to catching… read more
