Angelica was the best workaway we have had so far. She looked after our home and pets while we were overseas with no problems whatsoever. She stayed in touch with us reassuring us everything was OK throughout our vacation, and when we returned the house was spotlessly clean. If Angelica approaches you on this platform, consider yourself very… read more

Sally and Irv were my first Workaway and it was the best experience! Sally is an amazing cook, everything she made was Michelin level. Irv was gracious enough to take me to neighboring towns such as Josselin and Lorient. They were lovely hosts, sitting and drinking on the back patio was always filled with fun hilarious talks. Their pets are all… read more

Evan's a great guy to have around and slotted into our routine with no problems at all. It was almost as if we he'd always lived with us! He's quite funny and entertaining, a good conversationalist, and surprisingly mature for his 22 years. We have a super stockpile of fuel for the coming winter thanks to his diligence with the axe. Thanks Evan,… read more

Cian is a very fast learner and has no problem tackling a wide variety of projects with more than satisfactory results. He's always eager to learn new things, he's highly motivated and eager to get stuck into even the most arduous of tasks. He's great with animals and very respectful. Future hosts need worry about nothing! A big THANKS Cian.

A super polite young man eager to help in any way, a very fast learner requiring minimum supervision. Just tell him what you want and it's done. What else could you ask for? Highly recommended !!!

Absolutely lovely couple and a pleasure to have them stay with us.

Excellent house guests and quickly became part of the family. We would love to see them again if they they want to visit.… read more

Dylan has been with us for a week and his help has been invaluable. He has been the perfect house guest and a true gentleman. He is hard working and went above and beyond what was asked of him. He is welcome back any time, the sooner the better!

AMAZING! Lightening fast, quality workmanship, no supervision required. If you're lucky enough to have Chad accept your workaday request you simply will not regret it. Chad is welcome back anytime even for a holiday. A HUGE thanks Chad for accelerating our very big task to within our reach.

It has been a pleasure to stay with Sally and Irvin.
Our work was always appreciated and valued.
Sally is a great cook and always made sure that we ate enough:)
Unfortunately we were only able to stay for 1 1/2 weeks, it would have been great to stay longer, but hopefully we will be able to come back again.
Thanks for having us :)

Orlando is a lovely guy. Very hard working, willing to do anything asked of him and not a clock watcher. He is very easy to have around and good company. He is good with animals and our dog loves him! We will be sad to see him go but wish him well on his travels and can highly recommend him to anyone wanting help. We would be glad to have him back… read more
