Every time we began to do something, she was eager to help out and make the task easier for us. Her assigned chores were completed to a high standard and with… read more

Wing was great to have here. She was full of energy and into everything I asked here to do.
She looked after Dottie which was the most important thing 😊😊.
The tulips she has planted are all up and coming into flowers.
I would love to have her come back one day ❤️❤️

Winnie was a wonderful worker. She was brave and took on many challenges including washing the ceiling off a platform ladder. Winnie was respectful and kind. She worked independently. We welcome her back anytime.

I stayed with Thalie and Mark for two weeks, and Moxi - a very cute and friendly little dog! I helped with spring clean and sanding, not easy but I really enjoy it.
The accommodation is clean and cosy, good to have privacy and relax after works.

Winnie stayed 2 weeks at my place and it was great to host her. She is considerate, cheerful and friendly and kept the kitchen and living areas neat and tidy. She also helped around the garden. It was also good to see some Kangaroos and Koalas on the hike at Coombabah with her and see that she gave surfing a go even though the waves battered her… read more

They are so thoughtful that picked me up from airport on arrival day and took me to bus stop on the day I left. Also gave me a lift to pier on the day I joined tour visiting great barrier reef.

Pity that I can only stay with Ingrid and Joseph for 5 days because my visa was going to expire. It's still an unforgettable experience that I had a wonderful road trip with Joseph and two other workawayers. Joseph is not only a good host, but also a perfect tour guide haha!

It was wonderful having Winnie at my place. She has exceeded my expectation completing tasks that I have long needed for, especially tasks that required computer or technical skills. She was also very helpful at my cooking class from preparation to tidying up afterwards. It was great having her as a company to chat and hang out with as we share… read more

It's perfect to have my very first workaway experience hosted by Agnes. I was not treated as a workawayer, I was like a part of her family!
Not only taking me to sightsee, but also inviting me to join her gatherings with friends.
The only concern to stay with Agnes - you will gain weight, her cooking is so amazing. You must love the dishes!
