My time spent at Roland's farm was amazing! The jobs are never too difficult, I had a lot of fun feeding the alpacas and horses and even vacuuming poo was an amusing experience.

Sono stato da Roland solo 10 giorni che sono passati come fossero 1 mese. Dopo poco tutti in quello strano ambiente diventano estremamente familiari. Roland è un tipo che all'inizio va conosciuto, il suo carattere ha degli alti e bassi e in principio può confondere. Il lavoro è semplice e mai troppo impegnativo a condizione che voi siate disposti… read more

It was great to spend time with David. He has a good work ethic, is hard working, efficient and energetic. David had no trouble completing any tasks. it was great to have his help with the animals and on the property in general.
David was also interesting to talk to and fun to have around. I recommend him to any future host.

Our tasks were feeding the alpacas and chucks, helping to catch and hold them (for the vet, general checks, etc.), helping out in the house and garden and do weeding on the paddocks.

It was a pleasure to have these 2 girls stay with me, They were a great help with a variety of household and garden chores. I also had a sick alpaca which had been bitten by a tick. The girls were very attentive and helped to nurse this alpaca back to health.
I am happy to recommend them to other hosts and wish them happy travels and experiences.

It took me a while to write this because time really flies when you’re travelling but you totally deserve a good review, because the three weeks in Ballina were a pleasure. Roland loves to tell you stories about the alpacas and makes sure you won’t get bored. I was lucky to even see two alpacas get shorn and I took care of three baby chooks.… read more
