Roland was thoughtful, considerate and went out of his way to ensure our needs were met.
He checked-in regularly to see if we'd learnt anything new... we learnt heaps!
We enjoyed helping Roland with specific projects during our 2-3 week stay e.g. installing new gates, building an Alpaca shelter and shearing the herd - never a dull moment!

We spent only a week in the magnificent Eden Valley of Alstonville. Unfortunately, like all the most beautiful things, time has really flown. We spent our most beautiful time in Australia with Roland,his biped and quadruped family. Roland is kind, has a big heart and loves his animals very much. Coral, her sister, is a special woman who hosted us… read more

We stayed for 10 days with Roland. We had so much fun with Pam (she's also livin in the house). And a lot of fun with Vacuuming the Alpaca-Poo. The most of our work was weeding because Roland was very busy with his 2nd job. We really enjoyed the dinners shared with coral (the sister) and inge (mom). Especially the Mexican dinner with Tacos and… read more

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.

Spent almost a full month at Roland's place. Had such a great time with his family and all the animals. We accomplished a good amount of tasks during my stay such as fence building, yard clean-up, vacuuming and bagging alpaca beans (poo), and was given the opportunity to go to various other alpaca farms with Roland and Gerard to shear the alpacas… read more

I sadly only got to spend almost two weeks at Rolands lovely place, which was not enough.. It was so great staying with Roland and the alpacas, and lovely Pam who lived in the house as well. His family is so wonderful and they have all been so kind and good to me. I enjoyed working with the animals so much, and I got to do (and see) a lot of… read more

I stayed with Rolands mum Inge and helped only few times at his farm. We had some BBQs and dinners at his place which were lovely. Roland has got a big heart and I felt comfortable with him straight away. The whole family is amazing, very welcoming and giving.
I enjoyed the experience with the alpacas and being part of their big family of… read more

At Roland's home, there are a lot of different jobs and there are Alpacas. They are amazing and very endearing animals. You will like. There are also beautiful chickens and Buster the dog. Roland is a generous man and his sister Coral too. He is concerned about our safety and sharing his life with us. He and his sister showed us around the area… read more

I had the incredible chance to stay with Roland, working with the alpacas. It was so much fun. We learned how to use the poo vaccumizer, help with the alpacas' shearing. The tasks were also painting at Carole's place (his sister), cooking and a bit of housekeeping.
Thanks to Roland and his sister, we could visit Brunswick head, Ballina, share… read more

Staying with Roland was awesome. Working was fun and included cleaning the paddocks with kind of a poo vaccumizer, cleaning, help with drenching and cutting toe nails of the alpacas as well as cooking and a bit of gardening. But what is more important we had a lot of free time: we visited some waterfalls, Byron bay, ballina, a Koala Hospital in… read more

Johanna and Erik helped efficiently with a variety of chores on my farm - both inside the house and in the paddocks. The jobs included weeding, window cleaning, general cleaning, and vacuuming the alpaca paddocks.
They were happy, friendly and helpful.

Roland's alpaca farm was our first work away place. The whole family cared about us, and we felt welcome right from the start. 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. Also, they always bought and cooked… read more

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

We spent one month at Roland´s mums (Inge) place. So sometimes we helped as well at his amazing alpacas farm. We could feed the alpacas babies, walked them in some local festivals and have a lots of fun there. Also we helped with cutting the trees and weeding. Always the time there was interesting and we feel very nice there.

I directly felt comfortable after I arrived at Roland´s Farm. Actually I planned to stay for 2 weeks, but it ended up with 6 weeks!
Great Food, Trips, Animals, unique experiences and learning as well as the feeling that I was never missing a thing made the stay at Roland´s Farm as one of my greatest memories.

I spent three weeks at Roland´s farm and it is one of my best experience since I arrived in Australia. First because of the hospitality and kindness of Roland, Coral and Inga and second due to the different tasks I had to do three: take care of the alpacas, gardening ...

After our first three weeks of travelling Australia we decided to take some time off from backpacking and to get to know some other parts of the country. When we first contacted Roland and his family they were very friendly, open-minded and spontaneous and so 5 days after applying we arrived in Alstonville. Right from the beginning we felt like… read more
