Sally has an amazing spirit. Always up to share stories, music, laughs. We went fishing with her and her friend Becca. The work was done easy, helped her with gardening tasks and feeding her chickens. I just passed 3 unbelievable nights at your house.. I'm missing you Sally ... you are great. I'm sure we will meet again always welcome to Buenos… read more

Dorota was a friendly and polite helper. She finished all the tasks that were given to her and did a very thorough job. She is a very relaxed and chilled out person and I would highly recommend her to any future hosts.

I stayed for a little less than a week but I had an enjoyable time. Sally is a very busy gal! I loved getting to help out in her new shop. I also spent a lot of time picking lemons and avos, taking care of the ducks, cleaning and whipper snipping among other things. Her cat Syd is the best (and loved to join me for morning yoga), and her glass… read more

Sally and her place is amazing!
If you’re ever have the chance to work and stay with her, don’t think twice. It is physical work but you‘ll never be bored. I personally learned a lot about nature, gardening and artwork while staying with her. I loved the delicious homegrown Guavas, Avocados and Bananas, as well as releasing Sally’s cute ducks in… read more

We stayed at Sally’s place for most of March, 2018, nearly a month. This was more of a house-sit type of experience for us because Sally was there only a few days. Sally is a sociable and friendly host. with a sense of humour. While she was there, Sally offered us an opportunity to watch her glass blowing but, sadly, we had to miss out since we… read more

It was our first work away experience and we had a great time at Sally’s farm. We had lots of fun herding the ducks and taking care of the chicks. We worked hard for a couple hours a day and had lots of time to hang out and do our own thing. By hitch hiking we were able to go to the beach whenever we wanted and meet lots of local Aussi’s along the… read more

Bring us back to Rainbow River any day! What a time we had with Sal, and Syd (our furry pal) and all the beautiful folks and friends we were so welcomed by. Sal brought us into her home with open arms. We had a unique workaway experience, learning lots each day, not only about land maintenance and tools and growing food and upcycling windows and… read more

WOW!!! what a great couple, what a great team. Jonny and Katie were the best workawayers ever! They worked hard and were clean and respectful, making the whole experience an absolute pleasure. They were meant to stay 2 weeks and stayed for a month and a half, looking after my property in the middle by themselves for 3 weeks. So happy to have met… read more

Sally made my australian experience.
Located in a beautiful green Byron Bay area (about 30-40 min drive from the city), she is running her glass art business (one of the most delicate and original stuff I've ever seen btw). In addition she owns a pretty huge property, which is going to turn into a sustainable farm. Gardening was therefore my core… read more
