Andrew and Monica were very welcoming, and did their best to keep me happy during my stay. I had to leave early because of the virus and travel, but did have concerns about the Workaway itself too.
Hopefully this won't be the case with future visitors but the house was quite rough, dusty and a bit unprepared for people to live there. Andrew was in… read more

Andrew is a nice, generous host who made us feel very welcome :-) Everything was well organized and a very cozy separate sleeping area was prepared for us upon arrival. Transcriping the dairies was a very interesting and easy task. Andrew did not have much work for us. That left enough time to explore Vancouver ;-)

The apartment is a nice and… read more

Jasmine is a sweet lass, and is undertaking a brave cycling trip across Canada with her dog. We had an enjoyable few days playing music, throwing the ball for Fiji, and sharing meals. Good luck, Jasmine!

Andrew is a rare spirit. He's philosophical and full of meaningful conversation. He and his partner, Veronica, made my doggy and me feel very welcomed. Even though he didn't have much work for me, he was a super nice host, and I wish I could have stayed longer. His property I'd also gorgeous and I am sad to leave from it. Andrew will be in a… read more

Patrick is a wonderful soul- intelligent, communicative, and people like him. He has a background in theatre and he plays bass guitar very well. We had a successful jam session with him sitting in, and he sang kerioki at the bar. Patrick is a decent worker and keen to try new tasks.
Bon chance, mon ami!

Andrew is a very good host, generous and comprehensive. We had a good time, shared thoughts and played some music. The property is beautiful, with the sound of the river and the mountains way up in the sky. With downtown Hope, a 10 minute bike ride from the property, as well as a hiking trail, it's hard to get bored. Hope is filled with a lot of… read more

Nais and Max were two happy, lively young people who stayed two weeks at the house. Nais was helpful with food preparation and laying floor coving, while Max was quite handy laying laminate flooring. They both had a good energy, and were fun to play music with. I shall miss them both.

Andrew is a nice guy. We enjoyed staying in this beautiful area, with a lot of nature around and just next to the river. Watching the salmon swimming up the river was so cool! Having bikes to explore the area and cycling to Hope was good, too.
The work varied a lot, so it didn't get boring (clearing trails, gardening, building etc.)

Staying with Andrew was a joy! The surroundings were so amazing and being right on the river was an experience we will both remember for years to come. I was super excited to help Andrew with many projects, including working on his music studio and helping clear some trails for hiking along throughout the property and other various tasks.

Lovely, respectful couple. Kyle shared his gifts of carpentry, electrical work, and clearing brush, and he's a personable fella who got on well with my musician friends. Veronika was very meticulous and tidy with her work, bucking up large wood pile, cleaning a large roof and skylights, and repairing the driveway potholes. We enjoyed meals and… read more
