I stayed with Jay-sen and his family for 1.5 weeks.
The work was mainly landscaping and building projects, but we also did some forestry and housework. Landscaping can be challenging, but Jay-sen is definitely flexible and tasks are varied, so no two days are the same! I think that one of the biggest advantages in this place is the possibility to
… read more learn so many things. Jay-sen has a spirit of a teacher and will help you improve your technique in anything - from chopping veggies to sharpening a chainsaw :) Sometimes he has high standards, but it also helps you to progress a lot.
The terrain is amazing, as it's literally located in a rainforest! There's a little stream and a waterfall around, so you really feel like you can stay in a place where you normally just go for hiking. The accomodation is very comfortable and private because it's separate from the main house. We had our own kitchenette and bathroom there. In the beginning, it's a bit scary to walk at night through the forest after dinner, but you quickly get used to it.
There are a lot of things to do in the house - you can play the piano or take a swim in the pool. I think that it might be a bit difficult to move around the area without a car, but if you have one, you can get to the beach in 15 minutes or so. On days off, you might also drive with the family to some places of interest. During your stay, you're really a part of the family, so you get to have delicious meals together and, if you want, watch an episode of a series. Jay-sen and Kim are really busy with their jobs and kids, but we also managed to play mahjong once and had some really interesting conversations.
I'll be forever grateful for their hospitality :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

This was such a unique and enriching experience! I stayed with Jay-sen, Kim, Leroy, Sylvesta, and Felix for 2 weeks and have learned and experienced so much during that time. Jay-sen always explained the tasks really well and made sure that they were suitable for me. He has a very systematic and effective approach towards every task. I could learn
… read more so much from him and admire him for all the things that he is doing. He took me to many places and made it possible for me to explore the surroundings and catch the bus to Byron Bay. Jay-sen is an amazing cook - some incredibly tasty dishes just kept ‘appearing’ in the fridge. I really cannot decide if I preferred the tacos, pizza, salmon, or spring roll dinner... 😀😀 Also, I learned a lot about the different plants, trees, animals, and even about how to repair a wire fence. It was always interesting and fun to spend time with Jay-sen!
The kids were very joyful, friendly, and clever. They greeted me with a big hug and I enjoyed every minute spent with them!
Kim is such a friendly, authentic, and grounded person. I felt very comfortable around her and it was beautiful to see what a lovely mum she is.
Finally, the property is incredible and I loved living in the cottage, being surrounded by nature. You can always find a nice place to relax in your free time and might encounter some wallabies.
I made countless nice memories with this lovely family: surfing, dinner at the RSL, playing soccer with Sylvesta, relaxing in the massage chair, cooking with Jen-sen, discovering Fortnight with Kim, watching movies with the whole family and much more.
I am grateful for this experience and hope to come back one day! 🥰Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I had a fabulous two week stay at Jay-Sen’s and Kim’s. The property is incredible and there’s plenty to explore. I really enjoyed walks around the creek or just hanging out with the family.
Jay-Sen and Kim are super easy going, positive and welcoming and the kids are a lot of fun too. They all made me feel very welcome and were eager to help me

Spent 3 months with this lovely family at this amazing rainforest property. Learned a great deal about the rainforest and all sorts of skills (planting trees, chopping down trees, chainsawing, welding).
Jay-sen is a welcoming person and very willing to learn you everything you need to know about rainforest maintenance - or every thing else he

The house is located in this amazing piece of rainforest near Ballina with its own waterfalls, and lots of different areas to explore! Amazing views over the forest and you can see the ocean too. There's some wildlife too, although I didn't see much because I was there in winter.
Last but not least, the food was incredible and dinnertime with Kim, Jay-sen and the kids was always a lot of fun. Good people, good place!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I stayed with Jay-sen and his family for 2 weeks. They are truly living in an extraordinary place. The property is just beautiful and the work is very fullfilling. Jay-sen is a very good teacher, he taught me about native plants, rainforest recreation and how to use certain power tools. The work can be physical but it's very rewarding and fun. It

Jay-sen and Kim are well travelled and very open-minded and welcoming. I felt very comfortable from the beginning. I definetly recommend their place!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
