We had a great time here! Pablo is such a great guy with a big heart and big ambitions. He is very laid back about the work schedule and let’s you decide what’s best for you. We did a couple of hours in the morning and then a couple of hours in the late afternoon, working on various different projects. The vegetable garden is beautiful and it was… read more

Our experience with Chris and Penny was a true exchange, in the best sense of the ideals of Workaway. While we taught them a few things that we knew, we also learned much from them. I didn't know that I had the solution to my soil problem right there in my garden! Conversation around the dining table was always vibrant and enlightening. They… read more

What a wonderful week we spent here! The family are so welcoming and we learnt so much! Bonnie is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and she taught us an incredible amount in such little time. We learned how to make sauerkraut, soap, washing detergent, bread and she cooked beautiful food for us every day, including when she… read more

This was an incredible experience for which we are both truly grateful. It’s like we won the jackpot in the Workaway lottery. Sebastian and Esperanza are two of the nicest people we ever met and our three weeks here went so fast. The hostel is beautiful and it’s easy to see why the guests rate this place so highly. Volunteering here was an honour… read more

Chris and Penny stayed with us for three weeks this spring and were such a huge contribution to our project! They are an amazing team; both are responsible and dedicated workers. Penny already has skills and so much knowledge about gardening, beekeeping and much more (including welding and tying very tight sailor knots). Chris now has three weeks… read more

What a wonderful experience! This is a special kind of Workaway. Yes, you do some work in exchange for accommodation and food, but you also get so much more than that! Christine, Carol and Anto are three of the kindest, most intelligent and fun people you could ever hope to meet and over three weeks spent here in spring, we learnt so much from… read more
