I think Joyce and Scott don’t need my review but it’s the least I could do for them after all they did for me. First of all, they welcome me with open arms really quickly while I’m trying to escape from a difficult first helpx experience. My saviors! Indeed, I even get lost an evening on a trail, just few days after my arrival, and they did… read more

Dingwall is a piece of paradise. Their backyard is a sea inlet, soft-sand beach and a mountain range. Joyce and Scott are open minded and easy going. Joyce is a great cook and she cooked us authentic local food, like jigg's dinner, fish cakes, halibut, snow crab. And we were spoiled with the best tea biscuits and pie. Joyce knew a lot about local… read more

Joyce and Scott will treat you like a family member. we did a lot of different stuff like buildings walls for an old garage and help to renovate it, doing concrete, picking oysters, cleaning the airbnb trailer... we had always fun even at work.

I spent 10 days with Scott and Joyce! Be prepared to be welcomed in their family and be served great food since Joyce (and Scott too, even though he says he's not a good cook) makes delicious meals! They also have lovely pets, and if the cats like you enough they might even bring you a gift from the garden - don't worry, it's not a viper ;)

AMAZING! I was 2 weeks at Joyce and Scott’s place and it was my first Workaway experience. I was able to see the amazing landscape of Cape Breton Island and I had the pleasure to meet amazing new people with a big heart. I had a lot of fun going oyster picking and doing some gardening or helping cleaning the camper. Although I was able to eat and… read more

I spent a nice week at Scott and Joyce's. The work was fine (grass cutting and painting mainly), and I got to work a bit with wood, which was quite interesting.
Though they didn't have any bike in shape, I could still discover the surroundings by hiking from their home. They have very beautiful landscapes nearby. And they also drove me around to… read more

I stayed with them for two weeks! The weather didn't cooperate so that we only did 2 days of oyster fishing, which is fun, where you get your oysters with a beautiful mountain backdrop, then you take them home to clean them. The rest of the days we're mainly cutting woods, splitting woods and piling them in the basement. We did some yard work and… read more
