Living nearby, I came to help at Sabine's place punctually, and I can only recommend! Sabine and her family are wonderfully kind people :) Already on my short stay there I started to learn a new skill, the place is peaceful and I ate delicious things :))

Jonathan was a good help and we stayed in touch.

Jill è stata una presenza positiva nella nostra casa. Durante il suo soggiorno si è presa cura dei nostri cani con grande affetto e attenzione, dedicandosi alle passeggiate e al loro benessere quotidiano. In casa è stata molto ordinata, rispettosa degli spazi comuni e sempre pronta ad aiutare quando ce n'era bisogno. Si è mostrata disponibile, collaborativa e gentile durante tutta l'esperienza. Ha apprezzato la nostra zona, i mercati locali e i luoghi che le abbiamo consigliato di visitare, mostrando curiosità e interesse per il territorio. Inoltre, ci ha preparato un'ottima cena che abbiamo molto gradito. È stata sempre molto gentile con i nostri bambini e ha contribuito a creare un'atmosfera serena e piacevole in famiglia. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene con lei e la consigliamo come ospite e come aiuto in casa e con gli animali.

Marzia and Tomasso were an absolute dream team. They followed directions exceptionally well while also bringing their own valuable ideas and creativity to the project. They adapted easily to changes, showed great initiative, and were always resourceful when faced with challenges. One of their biggest contributions was organizing my entire Google Drive, creating order and structure that will continue to benefit the project long after their stay. They treated the property with care and respect, as if it were their own home, and they were genuinely kind, pleasant people to have around. I asked them to create social media content, and they delivered exactly what I was looking for—and much more. They took their responsibilities seriously, maintained excellent communication, and regularly reported on their progress so I could easily follow what was being accomplished. I would not hesitate to host them again. Any host would be lucky to have Marzia and Tomasso as volunteers. Highly recommended.

I appreciate this recommendation very much.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Alex & Katharina and would welcome them back anytime. Although their arrival was delayed, they kept us well informed throughout and communication was excellent from start to finish. Once they arrived, they settled in quickly and became a wonderful part of our family life. They are the kind of people who don't wait to be told what to do. They notice what needs doing and simply get on with it. Whether it was helping with projects, household chores, cooking, tidying up, entertaining the kids or lending a hand wherever needed, they were always looking for ways to contribute. What we appreciated most was that they didn't just help with the physical work, they also reduced the mental load. Having people around who take initiative and genuinely want to help makes such a difference. They were genuinely interested in learning about our family, our lifestyle, permaculture, New Zealand, and the local culture. Conversations were always enjoyable and they brought a lovely energy to our home. Their son and our daughter got along beautifully from the very first day. They spent countless hours playing together, laughing, exploring, and creating memories. It was wonderful to watch their friendship grow, and remarkably they never had a single disagreement the entire time they were together. Hosting families is always special, and this family was no exception. They are warm, thoughtful, hardworking people who are a pleasure to have around. Anyone considering hosting them can do so with complete confidence. We wish Alex and Katharina all the very best for the rest of their travels and adventures. We hope our paths cross again, whether here in New Zealand or one day in Germany.

Susan y su grupo son maravillosos y grandes trabajadores. Hucimos arte y dibujo. Invito a todos apoyar este proyecto que tiene muchas necesidades. Gracias a Babadogo Y Susan

I just got back from my first workaway experience with Louise and I couldn’t have wished for a better stay! Louise & Abby were super welcoming and I loved that they included me in their day to day life - i really felt like part of the family :) The work is very reasonable and super rewarding. It’s a good mix of chores around the animals like feeding, mucking out stables, brushing and lots of cuddles! I also got to do some groundwork with the horses which was definitely one of my highlights. Around the farm I got to help with planting vegetables, lots of gardening and weeding and general maintenance to keep the place nice and tidy. Louise is very patient and specific with explaining everything so it’s easy to get into the tasks and she’s always happy to answer any questions. The animals will forever have a special place in my heart. Each one has a unique personality and I still have a huge smile on my face when I think about Tuxedo finding me anywhere on the farm to get his daily cuddles. Being greeted by 3 dogs everyday was so lovely and seeing the horses in the field from the kitchen window was an absolute dream for me. Like so many here have said before, every dinner was amazing. We even got to taste the first courgette of the year! I also really enjoyed the routine with fixed lunch and dinner times that gave me loads of energy even on very hot days working in the sun (paired with afternoon naps at the river :)). Confolens itself has a lot to offer: from going to the movies, cafés and restaurants to swimming in the river and going on beautiful walks to Saint Germain. I’m so grateful that I got to enjoy the backyard of my dreams for a while! Thank you for everything Louise & Abby! Miss you already and hope to be back really soon! Sending love from Berlin, Laura

I had an amazing experience staying with this family for two weeks through Workaway. From the first day, they made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Lenka is a kind and inspiring person, and I really enjoyed learning about her natural garden and daily life. The work in the garden was enjoyable and rewarding, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn new things, especially about plants and sustainability. Zuzka and Michael are also very friendly and respectful. It was a pleasure spending time with them and sharing conversations about culture and daily life. The place is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful nature, perfect for relaxing and reconnecting. I also loved the activities like walking and enjoying the countryside. Overall, it was a great cultural exchange experience. I highly recommend this family to any Workawayer looking for a meaningful and friendly stay. Thank you again for everything!

It was a pleasure hosting Tristan and Sara..! For 2 weeks they helped out in the farm with many tasks. Each task was done with much care and done well - they take pride in doing a great job. We spent time exchanging experiences and stories of our travels. 2 weeks went by too fast - but if you ever come this way again, you are welcome to the farm again.. your village in Malaysia. This couple is is highly recommended..!

It was a real pleasure to host Sarah in the Valley, she showed a real enthusiasm for the natural environment and all its wonders and our interactions always left me smiling. We shared some really deep and insightful conversations and I took inspiration from what she shared. I trusted Sarah with some important tasks and projects to attend to and she showed great commitment and attitude. I was also very pleased to receive professional photo's of the land, Sarah being a keen photographer. Thanks again Sarah and you're welcome to return anytime!

Thank you so much for everything. It was incredible to host you!!?

It was so wonderful to host you :)

Oh Mackenzie, where do we even start on this review... She's one of those truly nice people, through and through. The kids absolutely loved her and are still asking for her months after she's left. She taught us how to make a fire coffee with our new machine. She was a resting point for the other volunteers we had here and fit in great with the groups we had through both her stays, even though the groups had a very different vibe! She applied herself greatly on any task she was asked to do and calmly went really quick. Overall an amazing person to have around. Our place was not the same after she'd left, but we know she'll be back. Pinky promise to our 5yo daughter, she won't forget! We're looking forward to that moment and we hope you're doing great meanwhile 😘

It is difficult for me to say much about Catherine as she was here for such a short time; she had to rush home to look after here mother who had a bad fall. Her arrival was a huge relief to me as much as her untimely departure left me with a lot to do.That's life!

Jakub and Ewa hosted and worked with us in our home and garden. They are very hardworking, diligent people, and eager to learn new tasks. They were also open to spending time together and are musically talented, which made my time enjoyable. They prepared delicious meals several times and took care of our dog. We would gladly invite this couple back if they are in the area. Thank you, Ewa and Jakub, for your contribution to our project, and we send you our warmest regards.

Leonie and I stayed over two weeks at Nikki and Nathan's lovely place in Nelson. From the beginning, they made us feel really comfortable around their property. Communicating with them was really easy and we could manage our workings hours as we wished (and their work expectations were really clear). The sleepout was absolutely fantastic, big, warm and clean. Sharing time, especially dinner, with them, was always a pleasure. We recommend staying with Nikki and Nathan for sure ! ps : I'll miss your cat Chipie :)

Sophie is an amazingly nice and funny young woman. We've had so much fun hosting her, we miss her giggles so much! She fit in great in the group, even took other volunteers along with her when she went to meet with family in London over the weekend. The girls loved her and loved to play with her. She was always up for a game and always seemed in high spirits. She brings exactly the kind of positive energy you want in your home 🥰 We can highly recommand her to any host she applies to! And we secretly hope that will be us again 🤫

Béla has volunteered with us over the course of 5 weeks and it was a very nice experience! He's a genuinly calm, nice and kind person, making sure everyone's okay. We feel like he was a good support for the other volunteers and fit in great in the group of 7 people we had at the time. He executed every task we gave him with great care and concentration, making sure everything he did was done right. Overall a great volunteer, fitting in great in a group but we're sure he'd also be great to have around when it's just him. We hope to see you again someday Béla!

Juli has a calm and easygoing personality, which makes her easy to connect with. Although she is very young, she is remarkably mature, responsible, and responsible. She spent almost three weeks at our school and was wonderful with the younger children, engaging with them in a fun, caring, and patient way that they really responded to. We would be very happy to welcome her back in the future.
