Irina, Freddie and the girls were so lovely. They were always willing to help out in any way they could, and would do everything we asked of them. The girls were beautifully mannered and they were all very easy going. We loved that they shared their culture and traditions with us. We hope to visit them in Germany one day!
Thank you, lovely family. … read more

We were glad to stay with the family during Easter! We experienced "true" Australian Easter with big chocolate eggs and showed the family our traditional coloured eggs. Our girls enjoyed playing in the big garden with the kids and a dog. Pete gave us lots of great travel advice as well and Barossa Valley is a great place to explore. Thanks a lot … read more

It was so nice to not have to worry about the shopping for this period and enjoy all the amazing meals that … read more

They did more than I hoped for and did even the most mundane jobs well, even with some very vague instructions!!! I would even come home surprised at some of their … read more

Melbourne, Wilson’s Prom, Fish Creek and Loch are easy to reach by car; kilcunda with its great beaches and Phillip Island by bike. Our jobs were more hobbies as a work. We enjoyed it very … read more
