Great expérience with Ilaria! She is dynamique, creative, really Kindle and helpul, and we both really appreciated the moments together and interesting conversations. We still have the nice painted decorations on the windows, and the stock of wood to make the fire she was courageous enough to carry. Thanks for coming Ilaria, wee have cleaned the house but also brought some light and joy! If you have the chance to host Ilaria, take it!

We had such a great time staying with Maree and her family at their beautiful homestead. From the moment we arrived, we felt really welcomed and comfortable. We stayed in their caravan, which was cosy and had everything we needed (and more)! The farm is lovely and full of animals. Their three dogs are very cute and friendly, and we also loved spending time around the pigs and sheep. Our help mainly involved garden work and cleaning around the property, which was straightforward and really rewarding. Maree and the kids were incredibly kind, relaxed, and it genuinely felt like being part of the family rather than a work exchange. We’d love to come back and stay again. Thanks so much for having us!! 😊

We stayed with Daniela and Ray for nearly three weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. We felt welcomed the moment we arrived! Konnie, their six year old, was instantly open interested and showed us the huge and beautiful garden. Moreover, Ray is the best sourdough bread baker ever, let us tell you when we first smelled the bread in the morning, it felt like heaven. We got to try so many amazing dishes and recipes and are so thankful for all the food we were given. Through the work in the garden, we learned a lot about planting trees, using loppers and so much more! They always made sure that we have enough freetime to relax or explore the surrounding areas. We got so many good recommendations, resulting in amazing daytrips and hikes. It was beautiful because we also got to learn new things about the maori culture and the kiwi life. For example they took us to the Big Dig, a typical kiwi experience! Furthermore Konnie really impressed us with her open and kind way of expressing herself. She is so energetic and really smart and will always find fun things to do. Daniela always made sure we felt at home and comfortable and openly shared her experiences in life. She is also really creative and we were amazed by the vision they have for the garden and are curious how it will look like in a few years time! We are very thankful for the time we got to spend here and will miss this family and the comfort we had for the past few weeks. (Especially the coffee machine🙏🏻) Thank you so much Daniela and Ray for hosting us! And thank you to Konnie for making our days brighter and funnier!

Spending ten days with this wonderful family was a pleasure. Louise and Linton are kind and generous, and their children truly made every day feel special and magical. We already miss them so much. The house is surrounded by beautiful forests and is close to the stunning Yarra Valley. Their meals were delicious: homemade pizza, Indian food, lots of vegetables, and eggs from the chickens at the house... everything was fresh, healthy, and made with so much care. We are deeply grateful for the food, the shared moments, and all the activities we did together. We recommend Louise and Linton as hosts: they are clear, flexible, and always respectful when it comes to the work, which mainly involves gardening and weeding. And the kids… they are truly the best souls you could ever hope to meet. We’re happy that our Australian adventure started here.

Osugi was a wonderful volunteer and a very respectful, thoughtful guest. Even though I didn’t get to meet him in person as I was away during his stay, we communicated consistently through WhatsApp, and I could feel his kindness and sincerity throughout. He quickly adapted to life on the farm and worked closely with Frank and Evelyne, becoming part of our small family with ease. He took initiative in daily tasks like watering and weeding the garden, feeding the chickens, preparing food for Trent (our dog), and helping around the house. He was always reliable, consistent, and calm. What stood out most about Osugi was his easy-going nature, curiosity, and respect for local culture. He shared meaningful conversations, enjoyed evening walks, and embraced every aspect of the experience — from attending a university festival with Evelyne to visiting Lake Victoria and enjoying music at Frank’s studio. He is someone you can trust, and we truly appreciated having him with us. We would gladly host him again anytime and recommend him wholeheartedly to other Workaway hosts around the world. Thank you, Osugi, and karibu tena!

I really enjoyed stayed here. From what I am used to the work was not too overwhelming and I had lots of time to rest and explore Avignon. I will definitely come back to help with more projects if I'm in Avignon again.

really nice people and a lovely place to stay!

I was new to workaway and Olivia was everything I needed. She is an excellent communicator, friendly warm and very hardworking. She was a joy to have in my home as my companion. We cooked together and had long and open conversations. Olivia joined us at my daughter's Christmas lunch she was amazing on the day. She fitted in beautifully participating and engaging with a room of strangers. She was a tremendous assistance to my daughter, helping her with the dishes and cleaning up at the end of the day all without my instruction just her initiative. Olivia also encouraged me to walk. We walked for 2 hours on one occasion, something I hadn't done in a long time. She is gentile and charming I wish her well in her travels and hope to see her again one day. Olivia your the best - Maria xx

it was my first workaway and it was such a great experience!! if u like the sea, the sun, constant contact with a lot of people, this place is perfect for u!! not only the place, but also the people there, the hosts and the crew all, have been great to me, in a way I wasn't expecting. even though in high season u will work a lot, if u enjoy the job it won't be exhausting at all, but fun for sure, and u'll still have enough free time to enjoy Croatia and do whatever. Definitely suggested!

My stay with Sandra was a really special part of my time in New Zealand. From the beginning I felt very welcome and comfortable at her place. Sandra is a very kind, open and caring person and it was easy to feel at home with her. The work was fair and relaxed and I learned a lot about gardening and small building projects while also enjoying the calm and beautiful surroundings. The meals we shared were always delicious and it was great to spend time together and have good conversations. I am very grateful for this experience and the memories I take with me. I can honestly recommend staying with Sandra to anyone who is looking for a warm and peaceful Workaway experience.

Sven is a skilled and capable guy with a great work ethic. He enjoys working outdoors. He is sociable, friendly and helpful. I would recommend him to any Workaway Host considering his application. Welcome back anytime. All the best with the rest of your trip. Thank you for being such wonderful help. :-)

This has been a wonderful experience and one i highly recommend. Firstly, thank you so so much Hani for your impeccable communication, organising and support. you are an amazing person. Secondly. the host teacher and all her team were so friendly and made me feel extremely welcome and included me in all the activities. teachers day, sports and music etc etc. and thirdly, to the students, FANTASTIC. i had the opportunity to meet many classes of young people and to organise and run my own activities. There is plenty to do in the small town and I met up other volunteers around the area, which was great. The accommodation was excellent and very close to the school. I really hope I get the opportunity to return.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Oskar and Catherine stay with us for a few weeks. They are the sorts of people who within about 10 minutes you feel like you've known them forever. It was like welcoming friends into our house from the get go. They worked well, showed LOTS of initiative and were the sort of people that simply made life easy for us while they were here. Oskar is very thoughtful and is able to think up some pretty cool solutions to things that may be a bit outside the box and could be an asset for many types of projects. Catherine made us laugh a lot and ensured our house was so clean the whole time. It was lovely. Thanks so much guys and all the best in your future!

Nina volunteered with us for 3 weeks, providing excellent support in admin tasks and teaching at our school for 3 hours daily. She is incredibly open-minded, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Nina’s friendly personality and great sense of humor made her a favorite among the staff and students alike. She is a natural team player who adapts quickly to any environment. We truly enjoyed having her positive energy in our project. We highly recommend Nina to any organization; she is a reliable, kind, and hardworking volunteer who will be a great asset to your team!

I loved staying with Galya and considered her an immediate friend. She is laid back, while still being a very effective communicator. We had a lot of fun together celebrating the holidays, eating, and sharing in cultural exchange. I met several of her friends as well as her family, all of whom were very kind, warm, and welcoming.

Namaskar 🙏 The last 16 days have been very beautiful, meaningful, joyful for me.. Dhara and Harideva welcomed me with a open heart and I felt very fast a part of the family :) The work was diverse from gardening, to maintenance, feeding the animals, a lot of opportunities to give some good energy into this amazing land and projects. During the day when it's hot you can cool off in the river which is just 2min walking away, so nice.. I would highly recommend other volunteers to come hear and experience this calm, simple, sustainable way of life. Dhara cooks amazing food and there is always more than enough. They know a lot of people and took me with them, to meet there friends and families which made it even more special for me! I am sure our paths will cross again, thank you very much for this beautiful time together 🙏☀️

I had a wonderful six weeks at Marta and Peter's farm. Spending Christmas with them was a lovely experience and I felt welcome and comfortable at all times. The tasks weren't difficult to do, I usually finished work early and it didn't feel like hard work. The animals are absolutely adorable, which brings a smile to your face every day. ☺️ I can highly recommend a stay at this place and thank Marta and Peter for everything I learned (Peter has an incredibly broad knowledge) and experienced during my time there. 🥰 Thanks again to you both, I hope to see you again sometime. with love, Susanna

I spent about a month here in Sligo and had such an amazing and comfortable time getting to explore the Sligo area and see the art museums and natural sites, along with getting to experience going to a concert given by siobhan and her band. this concert was a lot of fun and their youngest daughter even had a surprise appearance and was incredibly talented at singing as well. while i was on the farm i helped with some gardening and landscaping, fixed some plumbing underground near their pump that had been leaking, and help with construction of a deck for their sauna. i got to learn a bit about end of year aggriculture in this region of the world. Andrew and siobhan are incredible hospital hosts making sure i had everything that i needed or wanted which is very generous and they treated me like i was part of the family. While there i got to spend a lot of time talking about irish history, philosophy and learned a lot about the current politics going on because their presidential elections were happening. i am very happy to have gotten to spend time here and would love to go back if my travels allow for it.

Ollie and Aisha stayed with me for 5 nights in January 2026. They were a pleasure to host. Ollie and Aisha got stuck in to the laneway garden, weeding pot plants in a large area of the laneway that had been neglected for a number of years. It was a big job but they approached it with energy and enthusiasm - even in the rain!! Ollie also helped with repairs and maintenence and both Ollie and Aisha helped with window cleaning. We had some great chats and ate a lot of cake. I highly recommend Ollie and Aisha as a workaway team.
