Laissé par le workawayer (Benjamin Shahin & Nina) pour l'hôte

Our week at Lizzies was very disappointing and had a very sudden and unfortunate end.
There are many things to it. First of all, we never really felt welcome or appreciated around the house. The information she gave was often very unclear, and there where rarely any appreciation for the work that we did, only about the things that wasn't good… read more enough. There where absolutely nothing to do in our sparetime, and she never offered anything in that time. Besides that, it would have been great if she had told us beforehand that there where absolutely no internet at the house, as her page says.
Furthermore, she told us in her message that she would need help with her horses (why we came there in the first place), but we never had any interaction with any of them, or where offered it. The only things we did was fixing the garden, so her house would be easier to sell. Which is fine, but not if you claim that you are a horsefarm and that you need help with that.
We felt okay with all these things, enjoyed the nature instead, (the weather was luckily amazing), talked to her sweet kids and animals, and enjoyed her great cooking! We wanted to get the best out of the situation.
We would never had written any of this, if it wasn't for the sudden ending.
The agreement was, that we would stay there for two weeks (the place is in the middle of nowhere, so if you dont have a car, you are kind of stuck), but on the 6th day (working 5 of them) she suddenly tells one of us that she was running out of water, and that she wouldn't have enough for all of us. So in her very confusing way of explaining, she said something about that she wanted us to leave "in a couple of days or maybe today or tomorrow" (again, very unclear). Then she offered to drive us somewhere if we would need that, but no sorry for having us working 50 hours without getting anything out of it.
She told us to have a chat about it and figure out what to do, so we went to the nearest internetspot (1 km from the house) to figure out what to do. When we came back, she asked if we had found anything, and we told her that we had texted a few places but we waited for answers. Then she told us that we had to leave immediately because we had left the house without telling her and that it was not fair to her (!).. As we understood it (unclear again), she expressed that she didn't want people to leave on a working day (even though she just told us that we had to leave as soon as possible, and we actually asked her in the morning what she wanted us to do, workwise). We told her that it was impossible to find anywhere to stay that quickly (especially without internet), and that we needed a little more time. She said that, that wasn't fair to HER.
We felt treated very unreasonable and got upset. She wanted us to leave immediately because she couldn't have people staying without working (apparently forgetting we had been for 5 days). Then (unfortunately) one of us lost our temper and said some things we wish we hadn't, and the situation was escalated a bit. Probably because of all the unsatisfying things during the week had to end with HER feeling treated unfairly.
Everything was about her and her family needs, and because her son apparently had to go visit his girlfriend at that moment, we had to rearrange everything to fit in her schedule.

Imaging waking up in the morning, wondering if you have the day off or not - then 20 minutes later being told that you have to leave soon (or in a couple of days), expecting to have some time to figure out what to do, but then 3 hours later being dropped off in a very small city with nowhere certain to go.
Credit to her for driving us to the nearest city, even though one of us had said some bad things in anger (apologized for it afterwards).
We left feeling used only as free labor - not as a two-way exchange of help.
We got dropped off without any kind of apology...

Manon was lovely to have around. She was especially good with the horses and I was able to leave her to do this alone once she learned what to do wit each horse. Manon is a very capable rider too. She loves working with all animals and happy to spend time with them. She was also very good with other jobs around the farms. She is very nice to talk… read more

I would definitively recommend this farm to everyone, especially people who loves horses! Lizzy is a very giving and spiritual woman that I was happy to help. I learnt a lot during my 2 weeks stay. There is plenty to do with the horses (feeding, grooming, ridding, handling). I could ride up to 4 times a day, so if you have some experience with… read more

I spent about two weeks at Lizzy's and had an amazing time. There were other volunteers as well (at one point there were four of us!) and it was heaps of fun. We were doing jobs on our own as well as with the other volunteers. I helped cleaning out the saddle shed and with the horses (feeding, grooming, riding), as well as some gardening jobs at… read more

I stayed with Lizzy and her beautiful family for 2.5 weeks. It was my first workaway experience and definitely think I gained a lot during that time. The work was varied (inside or outside), at a few different locations. The first week I was alone and after work there was a lot of time to spend by yourself as the family is doing their own things.… read more

Victor was a great help with anything that needed to be done around the place.
He loves sorting things and cleaning out sheds etc and doesn't just throw everything out! I could just let him potter about!
From someone who is busy and a bit of a hoarder this is a true blessing!
Thankyou Victor for your help...We will see you again one day......

I spent two weeks with Lizzy and her lovely family. The living area was away from the city and peaceful. Meals were hearty and filling.

I helped with one of her properties that will become a lovely getaway. After doing some carpentry work for a few days, I continued with cleaning and reorganizing the large storage shed. It was a great challenge,… read more

Nicole stayed with us for a week over the Christmas and she was a good help with gardening and tidying over this period. She gets stuck in and does a good, thorough job.

Lizzy's place is a great spot if you want to experience remote tasmanian farm lifestyle and quietness. Lots of farm animals around, Wallabies jumping in the paddocks, possums running over your roof and many birds singing in the surrounding bush.
The next town (Wynyard or Burnie) is like half an hour drive away and it could be better to have your… read more

We enjoyed our stay at Lizzy's farm. Lizzy, Ken & the kids are very friendly and we really enjoyed getting to know them. There was always something to do to help out, from mucking out paddocks to building a kitchen extension. It was a great opportunity to try something new.

I suppose the only down side was that we had hoped to get some personal… read more

I stayed on the farm for 4 days and had a mixed experience. I believe it was only bad timing when I was there so would recommend everyone to make up their own mind on their stay.
