I had a wonderful stay at Eric’s home with his adorable dogs, Bengie and Guinness. They are sweet, affectionate, and so much fun! The house is comfortable and well-located, which made the experience even better. Thank you, Eric, for this great Workaway experience. Looking forward to next time!

My 3 week workaway with Eric was great, Lismore is a very beautiful village with some walks near the river and very well located if you want to explore the region by bus! The work itself is very simple, you will have free time to discover the surroundings.
And Eric is a very nice host who will not hesitate to welcome you and take you to the Pub!

Eric is a really nice host, his house is welcoming and he gave us excellent advice to visit the city but also to organise the next of our trip. The work is easy and small, we worked most of the time the morning and had free time in the afternoon. His house is close the town so we can move freely by ourself.
Lismore is really a nice town!
