They treated me so kindly, just like a member of their family. My favorite times were the moments at the pub and feeding the chickens! Even though my English isn’t very good, they explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand, which helped me a lot. Thank you so much! I’ll come visit again!

David and Rachel are very kind, wonderful couple. My jobs were mainly gardening, helping house work and animal caring, average 3-4 hours per day. When I got day off, they introduced Nimbin, National Park and Koala rescue center, which were helpful to understand real local life and Aussie culture. All my experiences with them were fantastic!

Great place and sweet people. Beautiful surroundings, but would definitely be more optimal with your own car even though both Dave and Rachel are happy to give you a lift!

My stay at Rachel and David’s was amazing. They are such kind and generous people and they made me feel very welcomed and at home. I was mainly helping out in and around the house. The animals are adorable and so funny. It’s a lovely place and I would highly recommend David and Rachel to anyone.

David and Rachel were absolutely wonderful. They were so gracious and truly made my first week in Australia a great one. It can be scary coming to a new place not knowing anyone, but they really made me feel right at home. There is plenty to see around where they live (waterfalls and local watering holes for those super hot days). David and Rachel… read more

David and Rachel were such a generous and sweet couple to stay with. You won't get bored here; we enjoyed trips to local waterfalls, Nimbin and Ballina, as well as several trips to the local tavern. The work was enjoyable and not strenuous at all, and was for just 4 hours a day. They have a lovely house in a beautiful countryside location and have… read more

This volunteering was our first one in Australia so we were lucky finding this adorable couple. They were very kind and helpful with us, always willing to give a hand whenever is needed. We didn't work hard, we did very easy jobs, such as: cutting wood, walking the dog, some cleaning, etc, for just few hours.
