Chin Lai was a great workaway to have stay with me. She is quietly confident, interested in nature and very respectful of our native wildlife. Chin Lai was keen to take on many different challenges... she learnt new skills with ease. I had complete confidence in her ability to work independently with many projects. Jobs included painting my paver weeds with vinegar (to kill the weeds), scrubbing and oiling some house weather boards, weeding garden banks and replacing mulch onto the gardens after floods had washed much off. She patiently varnished an old stool i had sanded and made it look beautiful again. Chin Lai is a creative person and was able to help me problem solve some small tasks. She made a yummy vegie noodle stir fry. Her English is good and we had some interesting conversations about her home country Hong Kong, and her traveling adventures in Australia. She got on well with my friends. I would easily welcome her back into home again. She was an absolute delight to have around. I can recommend Chin Lai as an excellent workaway who has great work ethics, a beautiful smile and gentle nature. Wishing you all the best Chin Lai for your future and happy traveling . I hope to hear from you again. :)

I had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Michael and Jess. What was initially planned as just a few weeks turned into six weeks in the end – which already says a lot. From the very beginning, I felt truly welcome. The work was varied and enjoyable, including helping around the house, cleaning the pool, dusting, gardening and general maintenance. It never felt monotonous and I always felt that my help was very appreciated. One of the absolute highlights were the boat trips. I was lucky enough to be taken along several times including a trip out to an island, where I even got to snorkel. I also had my first fishing experiences on the open ocean, visited different beaches by boat and enjoyed many beautiful beach walks. The location itself is simply stunning, just a 3 minute walk to the beach. Also the accommodation I stayed in was very generous, well equipped and comfortable. It was perfectly located close enough to the main house to be part of daily life, but also offering plenty of privacy when needed. This balance made the whole experience even more special and really added to the warm, family-like feeling of the stay. Michael and Jess are incredibly kind, warm-hearted and open people. They didn’t just treat me as a workawayer, but truly integrated me into many family activities, which made me feel like part of the family very quickly. I’m very grateful for this experience, all the shared moments and interesting conversations and I can 100% recommend them. I would come back anytime, thanks again for everything!

This was our first workaway, our stay was so nice, thanks to nich for being such a nice host ! the house and its surroundings are splendid and was such a good break from Melbourne ... we saw so many different wildlife species, I do wildlife photography so I was in paradise ! thanks to nich !!

This couple is the best you can have to take care of your place! They are open, hard working, taking initiative and responsibility right from the start. Manon helped a lot with mowing the grass ,) and building projects, Gittan in the garden and kitchen. He is really good with fermenting food and making the best sirops in the world! We loved the nice combinations. They are caring people, love to play with kids and talk about live. So if you want to have a nice extension of your family, please welcome them and you will not be dissapointed!

It was lovely to have these two friends over at our place! After a few days it felt like they were already here for weeks! And the weeks flew by...:( They were really helpful, liked to be in the kitchen, did a lot of cleaning work and playes with our kids. Game nights were the best!! They took initiative, were responsible and welcomed guests. Definitly girls you want to help at your place!

je viens de passer une semaine très agréable chez Odile et ses deux fiston dans la banlieue de Casablanca à dar bouazza . Le travail au jardin était très agréable ainsi que de préparer les repas pour la famille. Odile est une personne très accueillante, je recommande fortement se Workaway. au plaisir ! olivier

I have really good memories of my workaway with Vilté. She was calm, sociable, and cooperative. She got along from the start with the other workawayer she shared the same apartment with, and this made me happy and relaxed enough to dedicate ourselves to various activities. Vilté demonstrated, with good skills and results, her interest in the island's sports and nature. We tried new trekking routes together and checked the condition of the trails. She was helpful in moving and cleaning the kayaks, preparing recipes shared with the other workawayers, and tending to the small vegetable garden. Vilté, I was truly pleased to read your review, even though many months have passed since your experience, thank you for your kind words.🙏 I wish you the best in everything 🌞🌊🙋

Maggie stayed with us for almost a week, and we truly had a wonderful time with her. She supported our project in every possible way whether it was working with the children, visiting schools, or helping with household responsibilities. She contributed wholeheartedly in every area and became a valuable part of our journey during her stay. We sincerely hope to meet her again in the future, and we send her our very best wishes from the bottom of our hearts.

We had one of our best weeks in Australia with Adele and Andrew. They were very generous and sweet! They lived at a beautiful place with plenty of things to do in the area and the work we did was nice and relaxed. Highly recommend 😊 Hopefully see you again! 🇳🇱 Jacob and Daan

Kristen and Steve are truly amazing people and put up with me for 10 whole weeks! From my first day to my last day, I felt right at home and welcomed into their family. I arrived in late March at the start of spring and stayed all the way into June and early summer. The town of Peshastin and the whole valley will always have a special place in my heart and feel like home. Kristen is a genuinely wonderful person and is absolutely on top of everything you could need as a Workawayer. She gives detailed instructions and is always clear with her expectations. She has incredibly detailed lists for anything that needs to get done and is always fair with what is asked. She works hard as a teacher and truly cares about her kids, which is a joy to see. Her care, empathy, and excitement for her guests (and everyone in her life) are evident. She’s the best person to share a laugh, have a meaningful conversation, play a board game, or work in the garden with. Her animated character and high spirit make this home feel lively and fun to be in. Kristen is someone that I will always feel grateful to know. Steve is a great man and the calm to Kristen’s upbeat attitude. Like Kristen, Steve is incredibly kind and inspiring. Although you might find him quite at first, Steve has such a wealth of knowledge and experience that he will happily share with anyone who asks. Steve consistently blew my mind with his many adventures and skills. As much as I want to brag here about all the things that make Steve so incredible, I should let future Workawayers hear it for themselves. (P.S. If you ask him about his whitewater rafting career, you might get lucky enough for Steve to take you on a float!) Beyond the warmth of Kristen and Steve's hospitality, the setting itself made this experience unforgettable. Peshastin is a hidden gem nestled in the Cascade foothills, where the surrounding mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop to daily life. Watching the seasons change with the spring wildflowers and Kristen's amazingly prolific gardening was a wonder. Between the snowy peaks of the Enchantments and the orchards in bloom, there are few places more beautiful. The town's charm is matched by its natural beauty. The crystal-clear river and nearby mountain lakes became regular spots for swimming and soaking in the scenery. What made the experience even richer was sharing it alongside 7 other Workawayers throughout my time here. Kristen and Steve did an excellent job hosting so many of us at once, and their experience as hosts really showed. Every single person I met was an absolute pleasure to know, and everyone added another layer of joy to the work and adventures we shared. Between Kristen and Steve's exceptional attitude and experience, the area's natural wonders, and the wonderful community of fellow Workawayers, my stay offered everything I could have hoped for and so much more. Together, Kristen and Steve make an excellent pair, and I feel so grateful to have gotten to know them. I cannot recommend staying with these folks enough.

I am so glad my path crossed Ulises'. I've had an amazing stay at his place, he has been so welcoming and generous. He shared so much about the history of the country and many other things that it made my stay in Mexico more rich. I also got to meet a lot of his friends and share a lot of beautiful moments. Hours of hammock talks. He really has a gift for explaining in a fascinating way. I loved navigating in between langages with him and my spanish has gotten so much better in the process ! I helped him in the general maintenance of the house and also to paint. I could do the work at my rythm, which I loved Thank you so much for everything And I can't wait to visit you again or meet you somewhere in the world :)

We loved having Lena and Phillip to stay - they are really lovely, considerate guests and easily fit into our family. They worked hard and completed their tasks to a high standard every time. We shared many lovely meals together, especially one they prepared for us - so delicious!! We warmly recommend Lena and Phillip to future hosts.

My stay was the best! I was supposed to stay 1 month and I ended staying 2 months 😅! The place is very peaceful surrended by nature, beautiful animals and humans. I learned to much about natural horsemanship thanks to Saita. The poneys are awesome! All of them have they one personality and it's so rewarding to see them getting more trustfull towards you, with time. My job was to take care of the poneys: - feeding, grooming, bringing them to the paddock, ground training The other part of the job was to sometimes give some support to the staff with the clients of the hostel. As they don't speak a very good english it's helpful for them if as a volunteer we can facilitate the communication. Saita is a very generous and patient person, always kind to transmit her knowledge and make you feel at home. She is a pretty busy women so she needs people who are able to work in autonomy and take initiatives. I recommend the place 200%! I hope I will have the opportunity to see again !

Our experience was wonderful and positive! The work wasn't too hard, and the natural surroundings were fantastic. We learned so much about plants and Tayrona culture, and what we enjoyed most was the cultural exchange with the Kogi community. The atmosphere with the staff was also relaxed and friendly. It's a very peaceful place to relax, enjoy the river right there, and in the afternoons, if you're up for it, you can also explore the area, which has many beautiful things to offer! We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a few days in a place that's so much more than just a hostel!

Rouven was an amazing volunteer! He was always kind and respectful, and made a great addition to our community. He was also SO helpful in upgrading, fixing and installing different electrical systems which was a HUGE help. I would highly recommend him for any Workaway needs. Rouven, please come back and visit us again soon!

Maxence and Jeanne were the most fabulous couple in every way. We loved welcoming them into our family on their honeymoon. We were SO sad they were on such a tight schedule and we only got to enjoy them for a week yet we feel we have known them for much longer. They are intelligent, fun, helpful, respectful, tidy......and more. They were so interested in the farm and helped with drought feeding, cleaning troughs and anything else that needed doing. The set up our new Robot mower and vac/mop. They helped with meal preparation and some spring cleaning. Absolutely threw themselves into anything that needed help with We cannot recommend Maxence and Jeanne too highly and miss their company!

I had such an amazing time staying with Jane in Greece! it was my first wok away experience so I was not sure what to exepect, but Jane was so welcoming and very kind. the work was enjoyable, helping pick olives and some garden work. the island is so beautiful and one of my favourite places I have ever been. I only stayed one week but I wish I could of stayed longer!! I would recommend this Workaway with Jane to everyone!

This was my first Workaway, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from the experience. Miguel is one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met, always going out of his way to make you feel welcome. From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The hacienda is absolutely gorgeous, and the work was fun, varied, and filled with plenty of laughs. Miguel truly integrates you into his life through time spent with his family and friends, which is an amazing way to meet people and improve your Spanish! Caring for and riding the beautiful horses is an experience I will never forget. Miguel made sure to teach us everything he could, from saddling and riding, to cleaning, caring and training the horses. The animals at the hacienda are all stunning — especially Tyler! Overall, this was an incredible Workaway with so much to offer. Thank you so much again, Miguel, for the unforgettable experience and memories. Until next time, my friend! 💙

We spent the pre-season in Madarao with Dan and Andy, and it was such a special and rewarding experience! Communication with them was extremely easy from the start, and they really want you to have a great stay: Dan even helped me (Héloïse) getting started driving on the left side of the road. We had a very comfortable studio and free use of a car, which was amazing to explore the area (Togakushi, Nozawa Onsen, Lake Nojiri). Dan and Andy are very fair about working hours, pay, and days off. They are flexible and always open to feedback. We did various tasks getting the properties ready for the winter season: sanding, deep cleaning, painting, general DIY, organizing, and even sewing! It was a real pleasure to work for them and we can’t recommend this workaway enough. Dan and Andy, thank you so much for your kindness, and we hope the winter season is and will be incredible!

We spent three weeks and a half at Midori-san’s in January, and we had an amazing time at her house in the countryside. Even though it’s a bit remote, the bikes make it easy to get around. We were able to go to local New Year’s celebrations (Noh theatre and Iwami Kagura) and one of her friends drove us to a beautiful onsen. We were lucky to experiment a wide range of activities: calligraphy, glass art, chashaku making, and kendo. Being able to play the piano was a huge bonus. Midori-san is always ready to put some time aside to share her interests and knowledge, and if you commit to learning, you’ll really reap the benefits! This was the case with Japanese lessons, tea ceremony, yoga, and Japanese cooking. We did various jobs around the house and the garden, and the working hours were very fair. We would recommend this workaway to anyone who wants a peaceful stay and to discover Japanese culture. Thank you for everything Midori-san!
