Everyone welcomed me very lovely. The room I stayed in was super comfy and cosy. It is a big property, so there was a lot to do in the garden, which I liked the most. The… read more

Anu and Jim were my first workaway hosts and they helped me a lot to get started in Australia. I stayed for nearly two months and I might come back next time I'm close to Sydney :)
Anu and Jim are very kind and helpful and the jobs in the house, the garden and the factory were varied and fun.
Thanks for everything, it felt like home!
