Fran and JD are a lovely couple who are very helpful and friendly. They worked well as part of the team here and the dogs loved them too. You are both welcome back here anytime.

We cannot say enough great things about this shelter! We have just recently volunteered for one month and would absolutely have stayed longer if we didnt already have another flight booked. The way they treat the animals is a beautiful thing! Karen and Ruth are great to work with and there was a great atmosphere with the other workawayers as well.… read more

They are amazing. Fran is very polite and quick learner. She is so kind that she try to understand our poor English.
JD makes us laugh anytime. He can make the atmosphere blight. I have invited many workawayers in this 5 years.
But I never laughed in the first time meeting.
I'm sure they make anybody happy.
Thank you, JD and Fran!!!

We could definetly of stayed… read more

Everything about hostel is AMAZING! You get boat trips to random beaches. Trivia night is super fun. Move night is nice and laid back (free popcorn ;-) and the two party nights a week, well they are a blast and a great way to meet people from all over the world.

A great successful story to why we are on workaway to begin with. Fran and JD are dream volunteers. Hardworking, skilled, not fussy and social. They are superstar workawayers and we were spoiled rotten to have them. They will be missed dearly, and we hope to see them again one day.

We spent two and half months at the farm with Jay and the animals but in the end it wasnt enough. We loved everything about our experience. Jay is very kind and accommodating and the studio where we stayed was perfect. We had everything we needed and amazing sunsets from our bedroom window. It really didn't even feel like work because we enjoyed… read more

Francesca and JD have been with us now for almost 6 weeks and we have loved having them stay with us at the farm.

We loved our experience with Kim Chris, Tom and Archie. They made us feel really welcome and at home from the first moment we met. We even returned for a further 6 weeks after our initial planned stay of 6 weeks. The location and cottage is nothing short of amazing we wish every workaway was like this.

Fran was really a great help at our hostel. She was always welcoming to guests and did everything with a lot of attention to details. Aside from that, she always had a good energy about her and brought a lot of joy to the hostel. If you have a chance to host Fran, we would recommend you don't miss out ;)

Fran is absolutely lovely. She has a warm smile and the ability to complete any task with ease. Fran is a perfect fit for any position that demands attention to detail, cleanliness, communication and guest service. She was a great addition to our team and we were sad to see her go.
