This was one of our best workaways. We stayed two weeks at Enio's place and really enjoyed it. It was a really excellent start to our trip to Brazil, and I am very glad we had this experience. We saw Brazil from a unique perspective.

The other review left by Paula and Oriol is very accurate, but I will restate our experience… read more

A few of the workaways we went to felt like we were being used as cheap labour. This was not the case with Mark and Melanie. They were very fair with their working hours, giving us lots of free time. The accomodation was very nice and very spacious, as we were in a separate house (shared with their tenant, who is wonderful and kind). Mark is a… read more

Ellie and Andrew stayed with us for eight nights to help with garden and yard projects. Andrew is a hard worker and eagerly tackled all the tasks (from day 1 to day 8) that we asked of him like weeding, digging in the veggie garden, picking apples as well as helping with the dishes after meals and even picking up dog poops! At the beginning of the… read more

We started communicating with Adam and Mateja in May but then got summer jobs, and we finally came to them in September! They were nice enough to keep us in mind and welcomed us when we finally came. Mateja is an excellent cook, and the food was a real highlight. If you have a car, the location is really excellent, as they are less than 45 minutes… read more

June and Peter are really wonderful people. We felt completely comfortable and at home the moment we got there. They are very flexible, asking us what kind of work we liked to do, and they are so welcoming. June’s cooking was absolutely delicious, and we really enjoyed talking to them over dinner and while we were working.

We had a packed… read more

We stayed for two weeks with Michael and Tanja and had a really great experience. It was our third workaway, and our second one on a farm. Although we are the first to leave feedback on their workaway account, they have hosted many WOOFers, and are excellent hosts.

As their profile says, they are high on a hill, so it is not easy to get to town,… read more

We had a brief stay with Timo, but the time was really wonderful. As it says on their profile, they share as much as possible, and they fill the place with very good spirits. We felt totally welcome, and we especially enjoyed sharing meals together with all of them. We could feel that they really wanted us to enjoy our time there, and we truly… read more

Elli and Andrew are a wonderful couple and very helpful workawayers. They helped wherever necessary, they laughed a lot and bring a very good atmosphere. They are open-minded, easy going and interested in learning new things. Unfortunately they could only stay for some days - but you are welcome any other time. 100% reccomendation!

We stayed with Monika and Thomas for two weeks, and had a mostly positive experience. It was our second workaway experience, and we waited to write this feedback until we had another workaway experience on a different farm, to see how they compare.

Here are some of the many positives: Monika picked us up and dropped us off in Villach, which is a… read more

Elli and Andrew have been a great contribution to our house and our lives.

Both are very easy going and we spent lots of time together.
I rarely have seen anyone being this good with children.
Their commitment to the 20h/week agreement was always met or way exceeded.

We stayed for two months with Sven, Kathrin, and their boys. We loved our stay with them and had an awesome time. The area is hilly (not mountainous) and beautiful, and we had lots of sunshine.

The family is very easy going and fun to be with. We enjoyed playing football (soccer) with the boys, dying eggs with them, enjoying campfires, and… read more
