Thanks for making my trip a wonderful memories. John and Judy were welcoming me as a part of their family. I could experience much Australian culture, such as food and conversation, throughout spending time with them. Workaway was flexible, and I could easily arrange my day trip going to Melbourne. Thank you so much!

Andrew and Jodie were very welcoming to me, and I really appreciate their kindness. This place was fantastic for volunteers who want to try vegan life and first Workaway experience. I stayed for about 3 weeks, and during that time my tasks were weeding grasses, thinning out the apples, mulching, and so on. Also, their dogs and cat were very… read more

We loved having Waka stay, she is so kind and clever and works so hard to complete all the jobs she was given.
Waka was a wonderful help and always so cheery, everyone loves her company and she left all areas clean and tidy.
We are very grateful for the time Waka spent here with us and would recommend her for any job or position she applied for.… read more
