Workaway with Smyth and the family was brilliant! Everyone is super kind and loving and you're welcomed as part of their large family.
Playing with the 2 youngest boys was wonderful and they were so kind and helpful and we walked away with 2 Pokémon decks (that they helped us build) as well as hand painted Pokémon 3D prints 🎊

They are all so welcoming and we felt very comfortable in their lovely home.
We were treated with care, respect, and fairness!
Jobs included simple house jobs: food prep, dishwasher, laundry, cleaning, as well as outdoor work: weed wacking… read more

Olivia and Freddie were going to stay with us for a few weeks, but as we liked them so much we extended it to about a month.
Both Freddie and Olivia are very friendly, proactive and did a great job of the various tasks we asked them to do.
Our kids especially liked having them around as they made friends with them and generally added happiness… read more

Sarah, Aaron, and the boys were great hosts for our workaway with them!
The boys invited us to play basketball and go on bike rides with them which was all great fun!
We were also welcome and encouraged to make use of their fantastic pool and hot tub which were lovely on a hot day.
Aaron cooks up great BBQs and Sarah provides excellent meals… read more

Initially Livia and Freddy asked to come as workaways but we asked them instead, to be dog sitters for us while we went away for 12 days. They arrived and were given a huge laborious manual on how to look after our two precious pooches and immediately I knew that everything would be fine by the way they went through all the instructions… read more

Theo and Doug were very welcoming and accommodating. We were there to look after their two lovely dogs which we enjoyed. The house, animals, and grounds were lovely. Theo was always great at communicating quickly and was very helpful.

Olivia and Freddy come with our highest recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed having them stay here, and the three weeks they spent at our place whizzed by. They very quickly became part of our family and they were very easy to get along with. They were a great help around the house, always picking up after themselves. They did various jobs… read more
