The work was really enjoyable and we got to make some new raised beds and paths. We were so grateful for their flexibility and hosting us so last minute! Their home is so beautiful and… read more

It was an absolute dream hosting this incredibly talented and inspiring couple! I still look around in wonder at everything they accomplished in their time here and we still think longingly of all the amazing food that Davina created. Sam did a superb job building dry stones walls and pointing the foundation stonework on our cob cabin. He really… read more

We had an exceptional stay with Rowena & John! They made us feel so welcomed, and went out of their way to show us some of their favourite places around the area. Their character and stories are inspirational, and the work they got us doing was fair and satisfying, mostly helping out in their garden. The accommodation is wonderful too! We were so… read more
