We had an amazing experience with Max and Mona ! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and comfortable.

My sister and I visisted in April and May, and we had the best time. Max and Mona are amazing cooks, and Emily taught us a really cool recipe 😊
The work starts at 12 o'clock and lasts until 16 o'clock, and no matter how stupid the question, Max will take the time to explain.
We mainly helped in stretching and preparing canvasses, and it was a lot… read more

Soland Hunter were a great help. Some people could think that we cleaned the house (and it is not a small house) but you its more like a renovation. They worked independantly, eficient and the change that the house experienced couldnt be more beautiful. Thank you, and save travels. Max, Mona and Emily

Our first experience with Workaway could not have been more delightful. We consider Max a great host, friend, and above all, an exquisite artist. He made us feel welcomed and at home, or in other words, he treated us like family. We are immensely thankful to have experienced the rural Austrian life with Max, Mona, Ginny, and Bene.

Cheers, and… read more

Being with Max on his huge farm was a very joyful and enlightening experience. We had a lot of fun talking, cooking, baking and drinking. He is a very open person who shared everything with us, be it the interesting stories about the house or everything else on the farm.

Max, all the people around, and the old farmhouse are wonderful. We were mainly busy on construction tasks in the house (taking off an old, big door, and, hopefully, putting a new one in place), which was both challenging and fun. We were very flexible with the work and the working hours. The evenings were spent with Max and the many friends of… read more

This was my twenty fifth experience with workaway, and Max still made it easy for me. Tanja, Emily, Jamie and little Lily (or was it Lilith, I wondered but never asked...) did not make it any harder, it felt like a new old temporary home.
The farmhouse is beautiful.
The food is great, especially if you like meat.

This was my first experience with workaway. Host Max made it easy for me, to get to know this new way of travel and work. Max really is an artist. He rebuilt the farm with a lot of fantasy and love. I could work very independently and got all help I need. And almost every day we spent the evening together – dinner cooked by Max.

Herta war fast einen Monat hier. Sie ist ein Sonnenschein, humorvoll und doch Zielstrebig. Wir haben das ganze Haus geputzt, es war eher eine Renovierung. Herta hat auch das Gästehaus eingerichtet, organisiert und gemütlich gemacht. Ich traue ihr zu ein ganzes Feriendorf zu organisieren. Dankeschön.
