I loved staying with Jane and Spen! They are kind and welcoming people, they have a beautiful property, and the best separate cottage for workawayers to stay. I worked in the garden, helped with some house chores, we shared delicious dinners together, and I was invited to the beach, on gorgeous walks, and got to see a lot of the area.

ce fut un excellent séjour, Thierry est respectueux, travailleur indépendant, n’hésite pas à redemander ce que l'on veut exactement. On a eu des conversations très intéressantes, cerise sur le gâteau il n'hésite pas à faire des jeux de mots on a bien rigolé. J'ai passé de très bons moments en sa compagnie et le travail a bien avancé. N'hésitez pas je le recommande. Si un jour tu passe par là n'hésite pas à passer.

Quedamos muy contentos de haber recibido a Orphée en nuestro proyecto. Fueron pocos días pero muy gratos, su alegría y su linda energía hicieron que la convivencia fuera muy agradable. Muy atenta y colaboradora en todas las tareas cotidianas. Ademas, apreciamos mucho su ayuda en tareas de la granja, sencillas pero muy importantes y necesarias. Un plus fue enseñarme a hacer macramé! una de sus tantas habilidades que genorasamente compartió conmigo. Gracias Orphée! Siempre seras bienvenida en nuestra casa. Te deseamos lo mejor para lo que sigas haciendo🥰

Kim and Pete are a very friendly couple with two adorable kids and they made us feel welcome. the work tasks varied every day, all beeig tasks in the yard and with the animals. The acommodation in the tent was lovely Just like the pictures. In the afternoon we went hiking in the area, but I was happy we hired a car one weekend and brought some books because after work there was not enough time to take the bus for excursions. Thank you Kim and Pete for having us, we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to everyone that likes some time for themselves!

Erica is one special person and I hope my feedback does her justice. She came for one month and quickly became a part of our family bringing great joy and real kindness into our home. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye. No job was too big for Erica. She was enthusiastic and keen to learn and tried her hand at a variety of jobs including cleaning in our home, cooking (her tiramisu and banana bread were delicious), gardening and building. She is quick to learn, she is curious and she is smart. I can't imagine a job that she couldn't tackle. She works well in a team and when we had two other Workaways join us, she showed her leadership skills leading the team with kindness and direction. She joined us for weekly parkrun events and was enthusiastic in everything she did. We can't recommend her enough. She was pure joy to have in our home and we miss her.

So many messages here already testify to the goodness of this mission, thanks to a combination of so many things, but above all, the essentials... truly humane people, children we will never forget, a special atmosphere... and everyone's commitment to continuous improvement. I am deeply grateful and thank all those who make this possible. Thank you to Shamser for his understanding, flexibility, commitment, dedication... his humanity. So many things I will never forget; I wish I could always be in Chiti 😀. I could say so much, but I'll sum it up by saying that this mission, all too short, was exactly as I had hoped and wished to experience it. 🙏🌞🌞🌞🙏

We are so grateful to Rayna & Karl for their warm and welcoming hospitality to our family. They made us feel right at home and gave us such a genuine and memorable experience of Australian farm life. During our stay, we helped with various tasks such as weeding, building fences, protecting the vegetable garden, and repairing the water storage system. We also assisted with some household chores and joined in cooking and meal preparations, which made for a great opportunity to share and learn together. It was meaningful and gave us a real hands-on experience of farm life. For our children, it was especially special to be surrounded by horses, kangaroos, chickens, and even some unexpected visits from wildlife. Our boys especially loved the trampoline area, where kangaroos would occasionally hop by — it was such a unique and joyful experience for them. We truly appreciate the opportunity to experience this unique way of life and will carry these memories with us.

I stayed here back in February and had the best time. David and Annie are so easy to get along with, and really look after you. The work is clearly explained and fun, I helped with weeding, watering, tending to plants and helped with building a house for the puppies. I loved being a part of such an amazing project, and seeing how Annie and David want to give back to the community and create a safe place for children. I learnt so much from them! During our time off, we played volleyball, ate amazing food, walked into the local area for coffee and banh mi, and hung out at the beautiful farm relaxing in hammocks with other volunteers. The facilities are the best I've experienced during workaways and they even provide you with wellie boots and gloves. One of my favourite workaways and would definitely go back- can't recommend enough!

Our experience with Chris was amazing! It was our first time volunteering in the UK, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. My friend Gabriel and I went in November, and even though it was really cold (at least for us Brazilians 😄), we got to do lots of different activities. Chris and his kids, Bobby and Georgia, were always super kind to us, and they made us feel like part of the family. The work itself was pretty easygoing and flexible, and we also had the weekends free, which was great. The rabbits and the little cat were such great company too haha, along with the goats and sheep! It was a time full of learning for us, and we really hope we can meet again in the future, maybe during a warmer season so we can enjoy it even more!

I spent two weeks in the village. Vanya was very kind, helpful and excited to show me her life in the countryside. I learned a lot about gardening, had some of the best homemade foods and met the friendliest pets ever. I totally recommend Vanya as a hostess. Благодаря много! :-)

I had a wounderfull time with Anja, Jim and there family, i felt welcomend and apreciated. The work was nice and i learned something New while cutting blueberry bushes, hopefully they will now grow healthier than before. Thank you all alot!!!

A truly wonderful first experience as a Workawayer. From the first day on, Milou, Eric and Keet really integrated me into their family activities, which made me feel like I was part of the family. The approach to the work was very relaxed and almost always with other people, which I valued a lot. The accommodation was a very modern and spacious gîte that honestly exceeded my expectations. My favourite part, however, was the food. Every day I had delicious meals, from Indian soups to pizza made in a pizza oven (in my opinion, even better than in restaurants). However, if you are more of an independent person and enjoy some alone time, they respect that. In all honesty, I did not know what to expect from my first Workaway stay, and Milou, Keet and Eric exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend it!

Staying with Anne and Nick was awesome! I felt home and at ease from the moment I set foot in their home: their open communication, genuine interest and comfort with self-service and autonomy supported this. I got to work on things that fitted my profile well, so helping out felt easy and fun. Their project is inspirational and they are as people as well. There was a great balance between work-time and off-time so I had plenty of time to do my own things and explore the lovely area. From both Nick and Anne I got lots of tips of what to do, and help with organising and figuring out some stuff. They were genuinely involved and interested. It felt like I was truly part of the household for a week — may I say even we became like a small ‘family’. :) We shared lovely & healthy meals, great conversations and, (to me most excitingly) nights full of music! Everyone was singing and Anne even arranged for a good friend of them to come over to play guitar and make the evening complete. So much fun!! I am already looking forward to come and stay again when I arrive back in Christchurch after some more traveling around. Thank you so much Anne and Nick!!

I had an amazing time at this fairyparadise of hers. Lou and her cutest doggo Pickels are such amazing beings and they made me feel like home and comfortable in hours! Like agreed from beginning this workaway exchange was more towards housesitting - so sadly I didn't get to spend time with them so much because the deal was that I looked after the house and the garden while they were travelling. Her place is big beautiful land with a lot of options what to do: I was happy to do some gardening and painting while staying there. I really hope to be able to return there again and I would recommend this place for all.

Levi and Elke were such an enrichment for our Hotel comunity. There incredible skills in gardening, cooking, lenguages and may more were a delight in our half desert region, the Chaco. Allways would be happy to come back some time. Thank you!

We had the best time helping on Julia and Jackies Farm! We decided quite spontaniously to go to Siquijor and were lucky that they still needed a few helping hands. We stayed for six weeks and got involved in all kinds of farm work, including flipping fields, composting, planting, taking care of the animals, making soy milk and tofu and plenty of other daily tasks. Every day was a little different, which kept things interesting and made the time fly by. What really made this stay special were Julia and Jacky. They are the coolest girls, incredibly knowledgeable and always taking the time to explain everything clearly, especially why each task matters. We learned so much about permaculture during our stay and their lessons were always thoughtful and engaging. Oh, and our game nights with delicious homemade food were so much fun as well. Code names is already on our ‘to get’ list! 😁 Most days we were starting early in the morning, which meant we still had plenty of spare time to explore the beautiful island. We also enjoyed having a kitchen and being able to cook for ourself every now and then. Being part of Atong Baol was great and we would do it again in a heartbeat! See you soon girls!

Our very first Workaway experience — and honestly, we couldn’t have wished for a better one. We were a bit unsure what to expect before Leonardo arrived, but if every Workawayer is like him, we’d happily host someone every week. Leonardo is easygoing, open and very social. From day one, he blended into our family life so naturally that it almost felt like he had always been part of it. He joined us in everything and truly lived alongside us, not just as a volunteer. He is curious, ambitious and genuinely interested in people and the world around him. We really enjoyed talking with him about his ideas, his future and life in general — he’s someone you can have great, meaningful conversations with. He was also incredibly kind and natural with our daughter — playing with her, helping her with homework, and just being very present in a calm and caring way. That meant a lot to us. On a practical level, Leonardo is very respectful and responsible. He took great care of everything and left his space perfectly clean and tidy. Leonardo brings a calm, positive energy and is simply a pleasure to have around. We would recommend him without hesitation — and he is always welcome back.

Hanna was an amazing workawayer to have around for a week. From the moment she arrived, she was helpful and engaging with our little one's and they both clearly enjoyed her company. Hanna happily and confidently spent a few hours a day with one or both of them. It was obvious straight away that she brought a lot of her previous au pair experience and knowledge into our system which made it very easy to entrust her with our kids. Hanna is a lovely person to have around, she's interested and thoughtful, see's what needs doing and we had great conversations with her throughout the week. We would 100% recommend her to anyone else.

Thanks Ofir & Emilia for a wanderful time. It was just what I needed. We made hugelbeds in the veggiegarden prepared the garden for the season. After a check-in in the morning, we usually worked with 4 of us. Around 12:30 hours one of us started preparing the (vegan) lunch. After lunch we all did our own thing. I stayed in my own van, close to the motherhouse so I could have electricity. Divers accomodation was spread out over the mountain so we all had our own privacy. Wish I could have stayed a week longer to help plant 🌱. But because I want to join another Workaway project that has a minimum of 2 weeks, I had to go. @Ofir & Emilia, thanks for having me and look forward to some pictures of the garden in a few months!
