Christi. Always eager to lend a hand, no matter what the task. Well traveled and engaging with their stories, made having them here very enjoyable. Dan and I look forward to them visiting, not as workawayers, but as friends. If you are lucky enough to take… read more

I have enjoyed my experience with Wendy and Dan very much! They are both doers and it is an inspiration to work with them and learn from their pretty much off the grid lifestyle! They are very open and took me onto a friend's house and amazing walk! I especially liked that the fact that they let you work in your own way and also that the food was… read more

Wendy and Don are fantastic hosts! They totally understand the workaway concept. They offer you at least as much as you can offer them. They make you feel very welcome and show you their lifes. They got always something to do in or around the house and you'll love the sunshine coast.
