Alejandro and his partner Joans were an absolute dream as Workawayers, and it was truly an honour to have them here. From the very beginning, they were proactive, reliable, and highly motivated, always seeing what needed to be done without being asked. They worked independently, took ownership of tasks, and consistently went above and beyond… read more

My girlfriend Joans and I spent last summer as Workawayers with Rolf, and it was a truly meaningful and enriching experience. His project is exactly as described: small-scale, with very few clients at a time, highly personal, and driven by a genuine passion for nature observation, sustainability in every aspect of the services provided, and very… read more ethical wildlife experiences.

Rolf runs a very special place — a private B&B (which may not reopen in 2026), combined with wildlife photography tours where Workawayers can occasionally join when space allows, as well as a garden and small farm that produces much of the food served to guests. I personally helped expand the garden and build two worm beds for soil production, and overall this is a place where you truly disconnect from chemicals and industrial processes. The work is varied and engaging, ranging from guest-related tasks such as preparing rooms and food for boat trips, to gardening and growing organic fruits and vegetables, and general property support like mowing, building paths, and small projects around the land.

What I appreciated most was the trust and autonomy Rolf gives to Workawayers. He values people who are proactive, independent, and willing to take ownership of their tasks. In return, you are treated with respect and genuinely included as part of the family. Every weekend we were invited to join family activities with his partner Selda and his two sons, Alex and Danny, which made the experience feel warm and authentic.

The environment is calm and deeply nature-focused, perfect for those who enjoy tranquillity, learning new skills, and spending time outdoors. Being able to observe bears, whales, sea otters, and other wildlife — not only on Rolf’s tours but also independently during time off — was an unforgettable highlight.

Rolf is a dedicated and hardworking host who communicates clearly and fairly. Expectations are transparent, work hours are reasonable, and the experience feels much more like a cultural and personal exchange than a job. As this is also a family home, it is important to be respectful and comfortable in that setting.

I would highly recommend this Workaway to mature, reliable, and nature-loving people who enjoy being useful, learning, and contributing to a small but purposeful project. I left with new skills, great memories, and a deep appreciation for the lifestyle Rolf has built.
