Rossana and Olivier made us feel more optimistic about the future. They are wonderful people in every way-punctual, self-motivated, hard-working, perceptive, gentle, well-educated, totally trust-worthy, and highly-skilled over a wide range of tasks-welding, fencing, agronomy, IT to name a few.

Rossana and Olivier arrived at the start of lockdown. We were a little nervous at the time, because of the early fear around Covid, especially as there was a large outbreak in the north of Tasmania. We couldn’t be too careful, as we have much to do, but they were more than willing to isolate in our beautiful little coop in the middle of the… read more

If you're looking for hard work, don't look any further, this is the place! Anne and Bob kept us very busy during covid isolation. They would like an army of volunteers for fencing, weeding, pruning, planting, picking, welding, grinding, driving farm machinery, etc. We worked for 5 hours a day, mostly on our own or with the employees.

Our time spent with Rosie, Zac, Marie and Scott was amazing. They're very generous and welcoming people. We had a lot of fun with them and learned many things (gardening, meat processing, bread making, ... ) Lorrina valley is beautiful, we went for a swim and canoe on the lake down the road. All the family is keen on cards, be prepared for wild… read more

Marvellous place and amazing people. We loved it here from the day we arrived. Liz and Do are very welcoming and we learned a lot from them. We particularly enjoyed working in the permaculture garden, preserving pesto and mushrooms and improving the chicken coop. Weekends were spent hiking in Lederberg with Liz, at the cosy local pub with all the… read more

Rossana and Olivier were an absolute pleasure to host. We were able to knock off a couple of projects in the short three weeks they were with us, with both providing new ideas and expertise along the way. Both are super practical with an eye for detail. Really relaxed, they fitted in well with our family and became favourites of our dog Betty who… read more

We enjoyed ourselves so much, we ended up coming back and spending three months with Nic, Scottie, Emerson, the dogs and all the girls (sheep and cows). We felt part of this lovely family and were really sad to leave them. We enjoyed going to the farmers market in Albany every Saturday, spending Christmas with you, going to the surfing lessons and… read more

Olivier and Rossana were fantastic guests. They are hard workers, have many skills from fencing, building chicken coops, milking and gardening and are great cooks! They quickly became part of the family and are welcome back anytime. We highly recommend them - they will be a delightful asset to any placement.

Coming to Jurg, Georgina and Gian-Luca is like coming home. Thanks for taking good care of us so that in no time we enjoyed great conversations and lots of fun. Balance between work and sightseeing was very healthy : they make sure you have a good look around and a great cultural exchange. Lots of love, Rossana & Olivier

Wonderful, lovely and easy ! Can not recommend them enough for whatever you have in mind. So helpful and flexible with jobs, they have a wide range of experience and just know how to do the job. Wish them all the best on their travels and they are very welcome to return if they come back to this side of Oz! Many and varied conversations- very… read more

David was a wonderful host! Easy-going, good cook, giving clear instructions on what needed to be done, adapting the job to the weather and our skills. We really enjoy our time spent with him and Luna and his daughters. Thank you so much for letting us use your tool shed to refurbish our van! Cheers, Olivier and Rossana

Such hard workers, these guys just kick-started themselves every morning and quietly went about their tasks to completion. They work really well together, seem to coordinate their skills well and have a calm and happy presence. They have high levels of creative intelligence, carpentry skills and a dedicated work ethic. To top it off, they are… read more
