Hi! I had one of the most incredible experiences of my life! The farm is absolutely beautiful, and the family that welcomed me is simply amazing. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel at home, like I was truly part of their family. They took me everywhere, from stunning beaches to hidden spots I never would have found on my own.

The work … read more was enjoyable and fulfilling—not too hard, and I learned so much! Now, I can proudly say I know how to garden like a pro and take care of cows and goats. What a unique and rewarding experience!

The nights on the farm were magical. The sky, untouched by light pollution, was one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve ever seen. It felt like a detox retreat, a space to truly disconnect and reset. And the food… absolutely incredible! Every meal was better than any fancy restaurant, made with fresh, organic ingredients grown right there on the farm. Even the water came from rain—everything was natural and pure.

Being there helped me reconnect with nature, find inner peace, and restore my energy. I felt refreshed, healthier, and more grounded than ever before.

Their son, Asriel, is a wonderful child—smart, kind, and full of energy. His smile lights up every room, and he has this incredible positivity that makes everything more joyful. You can tell he’s had a beautiful, happy childhood, surrounded by love, nature, and freedom. Spending time with him was an absolute pleasure!

Hillary is an extraordinary woman. From the first moment, I felt a deep sense of trust and admiration for her. She is incredibly talented—she can do it all! Whether it’s building, painting, cooking, or taking care of the farm, she does everything with passion and excellence. She is inspiring, strong, creative, and above all, a genuinely kind and generous person.

And then there’s Daniel—just as amazing as Hillary. He is brilliant, kind, and incredibly resourceful. He knows everyone and will go out of his way to help with anything. He made sure I had everything I needed, even getting me a bike so I could explore freely. He taught me so much about gardening, animals, and farm life. Our conversations were always engaging and insightful, making time fly by. He is a fantastic father and husband, and seeing how he and Hillary complement each other was truly inspiring.

Oh, and did I mention they have a gym? I had free access to it!

One of the highlights of my stay was their cooking rivalry—every meal was a masterpiece! Hillary’s homemade bread was out of this world (I must get her recipe!), and Daniel constantly challenged himself to make something even better. Their meals were next level—Hillary made the best curry and bread I’ve ever had, and Daniel’s lasagna and pesto were unforgettable.

Even though I was far from my country, family, and friends, they made my birthday incredibly special—a day I will cherish forever.

I feel so grateful and blessed to have had this experience and to now call them my friends.

So, if you’re planning a trip to Melbourne, I highly recommend stepping away from the city and discovering the magic of country life. It’s simple, happy, fulfilling, and transformative. It might just change your perspective on life—it certainly changed mine.

An experience I will carry in my heart forever, and OF COURSE that I will visit them again!. ❤️
