We absolutely loved staying with Cristina and Boru. They were so welcoming and we instantly felt very at home. The location of their house is extremely beautiful, and the work was varied and enjoyable. Each day was very different to the last, keeping the work exciting. The self contained accommodation was amazing; really cosy and warm even in

and each meal was so so tasty. Also, the best homemade beer made by Boru! This workaway was our favourite part of our two month trip to date! Thankyou so much.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Max and Megan are just fabulous. They are hard working and efficient and made such a difference with our vegetable beds, patio, and paths. They cleaned and repaired our fishing boat and even cooked a scrumptious dinner for us a couple of times. This young couple is simply amazing and are welcome anytime to our home.

He is strong (tall and solidly built, which is not obvious in the photo), tough (did not mind Irish downpours at all), extremely efficient (he does the work twice as fast, so really he should have been working only two to three hours instead of

Cristina and Boru live on a rather remote beautiful wild property right on the sea, a bay with many small islands – stunning Irish scenery garantueed. I helped in their garden and was more than warmly welcomed, felt comfortable in the separate apartment, received wonderful food. Exceeding the expectations of my first workaway experience, Cristina

Thanks for everything – your kind manner, recommendations for activities, joint (ad)ventures and of course the wonderful fishing trips!!!
I remain with the best wishes

It was great to have Juan's cheerful presence for a week. He is an eager and well mannered young man and was a big help in painting our windows/walls and strimming the land.

I could not have asked for a better first workaway experience than the one I lived with Cristina and Bource, it was really an incredible week, they helped a lot with my English and were very patient with me, they always worried that I was in the best way and Hosting was more comfortable! I had my own apartment separated from the house and I always

Pierre helped us do some clearing in the field, restored our pavers to their former glory and assisted us with the rubbish run. It was great to have another pair of hands!
