Wow! What an amazing experience. When I arrived by bus, Hassan came to pick me up on his motorbike, and I immediately got to meet some of his many friends. Arriving at his home, the spectacular view of the mountains took my breath away, and the quiet atmosphere is calming in the best possible way. Hassan is a kind, trustworthy and warm person, always willing to help. He cooked amazing food for every meal, with a highlight being berber pizza! When I wanted to cook myself, this was warmly welcomed, with Hassan helping me pick up groceries in Tagounite. There was a lot of freedom. Each day began with Hassan guiding us through some tasks, which we worked on for about 2 hours before the heat made outdoor work impractical. The rest of the day is spent relaxing: on most days we read, made music or talked; on others, we visited Hassan’s garden to enjoy cool water from the well. I also joined Hassan on a trip to the dunes behind Tajin mountain, which was simply phenomenal and would heartily recommend!

Damian is an easy going and intelligent young man. He stayed with us for 2 weeks and helped us out a lot with all types of tasks. Be it heavier work with clay and stone, gardening, transportation, cleaning, he was open to all of it. He even proposed us to make a sketchup drawing of a small natural building we are about to build, which is very helpful and a fantastic skill he has. Apart from all that he also brought some very fun card games to the table during the evenings with which we all had a lot of fun! We are very grateful for your help Damian and wish you a fantastic road ahead!

It was a total delight having Nicole visit my place as a workawayer! She has such a beautiful, calm, easy going energy and was so lovely to have around. She had a great attitude to working in the garden and then took charge of a project doing a huge mural on the side of the house which I totally love. I feel as though I made a lovely friend and hope to see her again in Maleny one day soon! x

What a top experience in a gorgeous location spent with fantastic company! Feel very blessed to have done my first Workaway experience here. Couldn't speak highly enough of our host Maria and her son Ivo! Both very kind, thoughtful and fun to be around. I was very lucky to have another workawayer Liz with me during this time which made the experience even better! The food was genuinely incredible, Maria is a 10/10 cook and the work was varied and enjoyable. Main two jobs were cleaning up the bottom of the olive trees and painting an outdoor verandah along with watering of the plentiful garden and feeding the animals. There's so many beautiful beaches around and Maria gave so many great recommendations to fill in all the free time we had. Maria also took us out for dinner in Villisimius and to a few other places while we were there! Going to miss the great company, food along with the lovely animals - Poldo, Macchia, Margot and Gigi were always nearby for a cuddle during the 2 weeks! If you're planning on visiting Sardegna, I'd highly recommend spending a few weeks with Maria!

I stayed for a short time but I was lucky enough to get to know a calm, beautiful place with a small, family-like team... The hosts are kind and respectful and the work in the garden was mainly not difficult and in good condition.. I would like to mention Sven the gardener who has experience and knowledge and is always happy to share it and explain it to others - thank you for that... I wish them continued success in their project... I recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm place with a family-like team - and the view from there is simply amazing

Yanis, was a very welcome part of this home, he pitched in at meal times and contributed greatly with discussions on life and living well. He worked really hard in the garden, and garage tidy up. He was easy to work with and finished all the tasked asked of him. We had fun traveling to places for him to explore and tracks to walk. He will always be welcome to stay here again.

Janna fitted in right from the start. Even though she stayed with us for only two weeks, I felt comfortable with her from the very beginning. She works very independently and is always up for a chat. If you enjoy open and interesting conversations, she's your girl. We shared many great discussions, and she also makes a wonderful cuppa! Janna is very easy company to have around. She gave us a fantastic start on our shoebox Christmas project by making stuffed cuddly cats and creating patterns for the library bags. Thanks to her sewing machine expertise, I finally got my kaftan and pants made. I received lots of compliments the very first day I wore them out. Janna also happily got stuck into the everyday tasks and was a great help around the house and garden. She approaches everything with dedication and attention to detail. She was also a wonderful support with our local charity work and a lovely companion when I attended ladies' fellowship and church activities. Janna brings commitment, common sense, and discretion to everything she does. I loved hearing about her impressive adventures during her stay. She made time for bushwalking and running and completed a number of hikes, including exploring the Blue Mountains. I wish Janna many more adventures ahead and would happily recommend her to any future host.

I would rate my experience as positive. Nik (the host) is a pleasant, creative person with a liberal outlook, treats the volunteers well, and is very generous. Over the course of two solid weeks, I learned how to mix and lay cement, work with new tools, and work with bamboo. I didn't hike the surrounding jungle trails, but the area is very beautiful. There are lots of monkeys and birds. The volunteer rooms are comfortable, although there is no hot water. Since the resort is located at an elevated level, it can get chilly in the evenings, so I often want to wash my hair in warm/hot water. There can be issues with Wi-Fi (mobile internet doesn't work there), and sometimes it can be down for an entire day, but overall, I didn't encounter any long-term issues (like 2 days or more). I was able to gain not only useful experience working with my hands but also interact with the locals, exchange views and experiences, and sample a variety of local dishes. Volunteers from all over the world come to Nik, so this place is also a great opportunity to meet new people. There's a place to cook food, and there's plenty of space for walking and relaxing on the grounds. I'd say it's an ideal place for one or two weeks, especially since it's close to the capital.

Anushka volunteered with us in May 2026. During her stay she helped with reception work, and in keeping a lively atmosphere at the hostel. She was great at connecting with the rest of the team within a short time span of getting to know each other, and became an integral part of the team really fast. One thing that struck me almost instantly about her is that she is exceptionally intelligent, and is able to grasp and discuss abstract concepts, whilst also having a keen eye on practicalities, which is a rare combination in my view. Overall it was a real pleasure to host her and I wish her all the very best in her future endeavours. And we will be delighted to host her again if the opportunity arises. Highly recommended if you are looking for a dedicated volunteer with a lot of enthusiasm, passion and intellect.

Laura was a delight. She is a charming young woman, bright and articulate, warm and open-minded. We so enjoyed her company. Work wise, she tackled the most boring and tedious of jobs, hand- weeding rock- hard ground, day after day and often chose to work longer hours than expected or required. In addition she was eager to offer help generally . Despite her short stay, Laura became part of the family, sharing life- stories and her famous Brazilian ' Brigadeiros' . We would recommend her highly as a Workawayer and would welcome her back as a friend at any time in the future. Thank you Laura, for all you did. Xx

I had a fabulous time staying with Sylvia for just over a week. If you stay here make sure you're an animal person. Whilst I loved being constantly surrounded by the dogs, sheep, goats, cats, chickens and horses, if you're not comfortable with that it might be quite full on (especially Rex, although he improved so much even during my short stay!). Whenever you sit down expect a dog to be there too. I was also able to go on a lovely hack on Mabel who is such a nice horse. Despite not liking cooking much, Sylvia makes great food, but I took over most evenings cooking from the Nadia Lin book. I definitely recommend trying out her recipes! It was really nice to be able to relax after work, either staying at the house or going to nearby places. It was really easy for me to get my car fixed in Invercargill and drive to the Stewart Island ferry terminal.

Alberto was a very positive and open-minded person and we really appreciated the support he gave us. He was very patient with our children and he worked with dedication on the projects in the garden. With his ideas the fireplace has become more beautiful than expected. And we have learned a few great vegetarian Spanish recipes. He is welcome again anytime.

Sabine and her entire family are just absolute gems! I had a bit of a rocky stay in Canada due to an injury, and Sabine has gone above and beyond to help me out, and I have seen her do so for everyone else who needs it. What an amazing woman! I stayed with her and Cliff at their beautiful farm, but I also had the privilege of meeting the rest of her family, and she organised for me to work in a way that required minimal physical work, helping me recover. This is how I got to meet her brother and her mother, who is just the most brilliant, smart, and funny woman I've met in my life. I miss her dearly. Sabine's brother is also just as funny and generous as the rest of the family, and I will also miss our sarcastic jokes and silly talks. Sabine has become a dear friend, someone I could chat with about pretty much anything at all! The working days are organised by yourself, usually about 4-5h of work per day, 5 days a week. Sabine will show you round and what needs to be done, she will also write it down (or you can do so yourself as well), and it's up to you to choose when and how you do it. It is mostly weeding and watering, but also any other little tasks that need to be done around the farm. It's never too demanding, and Sabine checks in with you all the time to make sure you are happy. We agreed on my days off to be Saturday and Sunday but you can also agree with her for any other day of the week to be your day off. Sabine and Cliff offer a separate acommodation for their workawayers, you will have your own kitchen & living room, bedroom, bathroom, with the most breathtaking view of the lake and mountains every single day. The accommodation is equipped with everything you need, and they also provide a car to get groceries and whatever else you need. You will also meet Scotty and Tuscon - the best horses (I may be biased cause they were also the only horses I've met!), such unique and wonderful personalities! I had the honour of feeding Scotty during his foot fluff trimming, and I think it was my favourite task I've ever been given. What a special soul. I wish I could've stayed longer, but my injury had me flying back home to seek treatment sooner than I had planned originally. I would highly recommend for any workawayer to come to this oasis, Sabine is a superhost in my opinion, from the day I messaged her until the day I left, it has always been clear communication, lots of laughter and deep conversations. I feel honoured to have met her and gotten close to her family; it has been such a beautiful and amazing experience. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Until I see you guys again, goodbye, and I miss you already!

My 3 weeks in Fukuoka was nothing short of wonderful, and absolutely flew by. Looking back just days later, it feels to me almost like a dream--the house really felt like home. That's due in no small part to the hardworking staff, especially Mari and Chisato, who do so much to make the volunteering process smooth and productive: both at the schools, while interacting with the students, and at the house, working on other tasks such as social media, blog posts, and general housework--one of our tasks was even to attend a cooking workshop, where I received a masterclass in miso soup that probably singlehandedly doubled my cooking capabilities overnight. The moment I walked into school on my first day in the field, I felt instantly the warm and glowing optimism that the students all exude--it was almost overwhelming the number of bright and friendly greetings I received all at once, and I felt instantly welcomed--like I was in the right place. With the opportunity to interact with so many different students at the different campuses, I felt that while I was partly there to help them practice English, I must have learned far more from them than they from me. From what I can see, KTC and the Club are doing something really right--it has been an honor to be a part of their mission, and to have hopefully made some small shred of positive difference to it. Thank you again for everything. See you on Yakushima!

Christian and Mauro were perfect hosts! I spent an amazing 2 weeks helping with their nursery. I really enjoyed meeting their friends and trying all of their fantastic cooking! I highly recommend staying with them for anyone who will be in the area. Thankyou both so much I had a wonderful time!

Aladin was such a pleasant volunteer! He wanted to come for two weeks and stayed three months. Amazing what he can do with woodwork! I wish you all the best!

Dani is such a wonderful being! Loved to have her soul and spirit around. And wow what she can do with food! Such an amazing human being

We had the most wonderful week with Ashley ,Olivia and the additional Bonnie. They were an absolute pleasure to host. We had so much fun, good conversations and learned a lot about “Tassie” . Besides the lovely company, they are incredible workers. They understand very quickly can use all kinds of tools. Chainsaw, bush cutter and what not. When you tell them they have done enough, they go on to finish the job. With the animals it was love at first sight . They leave the place cleaner than when they arrived. Even without the work it would have been a pleasure to have them around. For ever in our harts, hope to see them again some time.

I came for few days to join the family and it was super :D ! It was very easy to feel at home and confortable. Everybody seems so happy and close to the nature:) Hope I will see all of you again, even in France ;)

Julie and Leo were the most wondeful workawayers from the minute they arrived we clicked. Nothing was a problem, Julie is a fantastic cook and great Yoga teacher. They were wonderfull with my dog Sonrisa and my cats. I can t but recommend them and I sincerely hope they can come back and stay. They are super people and were an honour to have them staying.
