I am incredibly grateful to Patrick and the girls for this wonderful experience. I spent three months at the villa, helping during the yoga retreats, and it truly felt like a relaxing holiday thanks to all the activities we shared—hiking, yoga, meditation, exercise sessions, and exploring Valencia. Patrick is not only friendly and funny but also an amazing cook. His meals were definitely one of the highlights of my stay! The neighbourhood is peaceful and beautiful, perfect for outdoor activities. We went on many hikes, and I also enjoyed running — the hills provided a great challenge and made it even more rewarding. The dogs added an extra warmth to the atmosphere and made everything feel even more welcoming. As my first Workaway experience, I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

Frédéric est venu m'aider pour du petit bricolage et le séjour s'est très bien passé.C'est une personne discrète, respectueuse des lieux et des personnes. Il a fait tout ce que je ne sais pas faire et m'a rendu un service énorme. Il s'est investi dans l'aide apportée en donnant ses idées, en prenant des décisions et en s'adaptant parfaitement à la situation. Encore un grand merci et bonne route à lui.

Giulia and Francesco stayed for two hectic weeks and they were a great help for me! They agreed to work long days and rather have a extra day off, witch was needed both when we had a celebration in the house with 20 guess. And afterwards had a timelimit to paint in my spare apartment. And we made it. Both Giulia and Francesco are positive people easy to ask, and they challenge themselves with new tasks both regarded to work and on their free time. My experience with Giulia and Francesco was a good one and I would like to recomend them for everyone. Giulia is eager to learn languages, and Francesco has bees on his brain :) and is interested in everything related to bees. Please give them a good exchange and many happy memories!

Stayed here for a month, did some various gardening and some painting. Emma was very convenient with me regarding the time of starting, and if I wanted to do more hours to get more days off I could do so. Van is comfy, useful and well organised, if you don't carry too much stuff ofc. It was overall a great experience and great way to visit Tasmania for me. Emma was very kind and communicative, and Stanley is basically adorable. And the house/garden/forest ... so calming and quiet. Highly recommended!

Well what can I say…exceptional workawayersI I felt lucky and blessed that they chose to come to Normandy…when they arrived I had a long list of tasks i wanted to accomplish in 2026. These guys smashed the list and suggested and delivered more! Very polite, friendly and willing, highly recommended.

I felt incredibly comfortable right from the start and wasn’t just welcomed as a guest, but truly treated like part of the family. The atmosphere in the house was very warm, open, and relaxed, which made my stay really enjoyable. The kids were just so cute, full of life, and a lot of fun. It was lovely spending time with them. Kathrine and Sebastian are also wonderful, open-minded people who you instantly get along and can laugh a lot with. The time we spent together was definitely one of the highlights for me. The location is also ideal: it’s very easy to get to Wellington by train, which is perfect for day trips. At the same time, the beach is just a short bike ride away. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat. I can wholeheartedly recommend this family!

Charles est une personne facile à vivre, qui aime les animaux et qui s'entend très bien avec eux. Toujours disposé à donner un coup de main à la maison. Il a beaucoup d'énergie et les travaux qui exigent de la force lui vont bien. Il a beaucoup amélioré son niveau d'espagnol pendent son séjour chez nous. C'était un plaisir de travailler avec lui.

We had a fantastic week volunteering with Bernardo, Maca, the kids and the other volunteers! The farm is beautiful… good vibes and lovely people sharing and building together! We will miss the morning yoga in front of the fire under the giant Oak tree… the home cooked lunches by volunteers from all over the world… and sharing travel stories while we work on building the house together. We hope to visit again soon, thank you!! 🙏🏼

Luckily Cordelia reached out to us and we got to spend almost two weeks at her stunning place in West Auckland! She's a very intelligent, inspiring and generous woman and her dog Suzi is truly the cutest and easiest dog ever. We had a lot of nice conversations, went to a nice river, she showed us the beach that's just a short walk through the bush away and we played lots of games together! Her profile is very accurate and everything is like she described it! Our accommodation was a lovely private cabin in her beautiful garden! The work was really fun and depending on your skills she'll find stuff for you to do! It never got boring and the working time was totally fair. We would always work in the mornings and then have lunch together and in the afternoon we had plenty of time to go out to explore! If you like to cook, she'll be more than if you make dinner on some days. If that's not the case she's a great chef and will make you delicious vegan whole food meals! The area is full of beautiful beaches and places to explore and Cordelia gave us a lot of great recommendations! We also loved to spend time with Suzi and are very grateful that Cordelia let us take her on walks and adventures on our days off! We would 100% recommend her place if you love being in nature and are into gardening or working outdoors!

We spent four great months with Julie and couldn’t have asked for a better Workaway experience. From the very beginning Julie made us feel very welcome, trusted, and at home. During our stay we helped with a wide range of DIY projects around the house — painting, tiling, log stacking, and lots of small fixes that were genuinely interesting to tackle and learn from. In the garden we built new garden beds, remodelled the compost area, created a natural hedge, and took on plenty of hands‑on outdoor tasks. Julie gave us a lot of freedom to choose what to work on, which made the experience relaxed, creative, and satisfying. A real highlight was spending time with her lovely dog, Barney. Our frequent walks with him became one of the best parts of our routine. Julie herself is a generous, understanding, and flexible host. She communicated clearly, supported us whenever needed, and always treated us with kindness and respect. We felt trusted and appreciated throughout our stay. She was brilliant and accomodating. We’re grateful for the months we shared with her, and we’ll definitely keep in touch — hopefully returning in the future. Highly recommended.

Easily one of the most productive, and skilled people we have had help around our property. Enjoyed spending time with Thimo and providing an environment where he could relax and enjoy our farm.

We have had such a lovely week with Grace, which was so nice with us. We had to help her with gardening in the morning. She was there with us to give us indications and advice. She is also a wonderful cook and tried to adjust her meals so we could always eat and feel welcomed. We definitely recommend anyone to stay with Grace, you will love your stay there !

Andre quickly became a part of our family. We enjoyed getting to know each other and spending time together, both while working and on weekends/evenings. Andre is a very hard worker and very skilled. He helped us build our chicken pen and he is a skilled mig welder. We would recommend Andre to anyone and would readily welcome him back for a visit or vacation.

Mey and Björn were great to has as workawayers. They kind of came to us somewhat last minute, for us perfect timing as we had spring break and the kids were home. We had a chat beforehand and it, right away, felt like a good fit. They communicate very clear and polite. Right from the start they worked hard and asked questions if needed. They did so much ( spring cleaning!) , and played with our youngest a lot. He had a blast! At night we played so many board games, this was so fun! We had great conversations, laughs and liked sharing of our culture and language . I loved giving Björn and Mey a home away from home. What a lovely, hard working, generous and adventurous couple! We will miss them

This is was my first ever volunteer experience, and I don't think that I could have chosen a better place. The hosts, Martina and José, are brilliant business owners and very kind people. The manager of the hostel, Wendy, is extremely kind and was always patient in showing me the ropes of my tasks. The main tasks for volunteers includes checking people in and out, fixing beds, and some small miscellaneous tasks that may come up. After a couple of days and with the warm help from the hosts, Wendy, and other volunteers, I was able to manage the tasks well. My work schedule was very reasonable and gave me plenty of time to explore Bogotá and even other parts of Colombia. Bogotá is a wonderful city with so many things to do. I visited other cities in Colombia like Medellín and Cartagena, but still prefer Bogotá over them. The hostel is a great environment. It is a smaller hostel, which encourages more quality social experiences. Even though I am a little more introverted, it was so easy to make friends and speak to others at the hostel. The guests are all respectful and I never had a negative experience with any of them. Even if you cannot volunteer here, I highly recommend staying at the hostel if you pass through Bogotá. I had an unforgettable experience volunteering here and cannot recommend this place enough!

I had an amazing time here , from the very beginning, I was welcomed so warmly and the people made me feel completely at home. During my stay I learned a lot about Colombian culture and had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful people, which made my time in ZIpa very special. The apartment I stayed in was fantastic as well, and a perfect place to relax after teaching. Teaching the classes was fun, interactive, and I really enjoyed connecting with the students and being part of their learning process. It has been an unforgettable experience, and Zipa will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything!

I stayed with Camilo and his family for a few days back in 2025. He is a great person to hang out with and his family is amazing! His mum cooks the best food and welcomed me like family. I was there from Camilos and Felipes birthday so I joined a Cabelgata with family and friends, where we ended up doing an activity catching bulls with a lasso. What a crazy experience! I was also invited to join to a bonfire with all his friends. The horses are all in great shape and healthy. In general the whole place is beautiful and well taken care off. If you go there please beat Camilo in monopoly deal for me!!!

the stay on the Farm was very chill and super easy going! Clive picked me up at the train station and than I could do some shopping for the week. the tasks where not too much to ask for and if you are looking for some peace and a quiet place to stay you are absolutely right. if you want to explore a lot and get in touch with locals or other people you will a 100% need a car or they give you sometimes a lift to the train station if you ask to go into town for example. very beautiful property and a stay I would recommend with a lot of privacy!

Gina and Miza are awesome creatures. They are both so very talented in music and have many laughs. The first couple days I helped load their gear for some music shows at local venues. They are both very chill people and know a lot of others in the community. I really enjoyed going to the venues and listening to the performances. They always made sure I was enjoying my time and introduced me to their friends. What was really appreciated was the amount of English that they and all their friends spoke. OMG that made it so much easier and more enjoyable because my Spanish is terrible. I laughed so much sometimes at Gina's and Miza's stories. Thanks to them and their friends the brewery stays in business. We had a BBQ with delicious chicken and beef and many other delicious food. Meche and Annie, their friends are incredible couple. Gina's brother, Edoardo, is a great guy and very talented, too. Monica, Gina's friend is, well, absolutely adorable. The projects involved repairing plumbing and electricity in the house, and clearing a water main from flooding. Also, the gazebo at the beach was a huge project that required greater detail and consideration. We had a good time in the pool and sun during the visit. We ate tasty food from a small local restaurant, fresh fish from the sea. It was really good. Miza and Gina wouldn't let me pay for much so I had to insist on getting rid of the pesos because I was leaving the country. They made sure I had everything I needed and include me in all the activities. This really felt more like a vacation than a work project, which is difficult for me because I recently retired and am only know learning how to shift gears to slower pace and enjoy life. We laughed about that and always me wanting to schedule more work. They are awesome and so is the dog, Matiki. I hope to return some day soon.

I had such a lovely stay with Jess and Jeremy, they’re incredibly easygoing, flexible, and made me feel welcome from the very start. The workload was clearly structured, which gave me the freedom to organise my time in a way that suited me. I also felt very spoiled with the delicious shared meals each evening! All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend staying with them, it truly felt like a home away from home. And their little son is an absolute delight full of charm and such a fun, sweet personality!
