The perfect team – friendly, helpful, and a joy to have around. They were wonderful with our children and such great company. Thanks to their hard work, our garden area looks brand new again. We’re so glad to have met you and are truly grateful for the time and effort you shared with us.

We were lucky to have a great week staying with Rachel and helping out with some odd jobs around the house and weeding the vegetable gardens to free them from their Spring growth. The meals were excellent and Rachel was great company to chat about the various overseas places she had worked in and travelled to over her life. Her daughter and… read more

Steve and Kaye were such a pleasure to host. They had excellent gardening skills and seeing the garden becoming more manageable day by day was a delight. I am so grateful for their help. They were good company too and we shared some enjoyable times during their stay.

Steve and Kaye were amazing workawayers. Great company, fun and laid back. They stayed with us for a week, cutting wood, gardening, making apple chutney and stripping some furniture. They have never-ending supplies of energy and always wanted to do more than we'd planned. They got on well with our dog Lias and took him off on some of their… read more

They fitted in immediately as part of the family and were very willing to help with
whatever was thrown their way.

We had a really great time with Mim and Jonathon and highly recommend a stay in Aurignac, south of France. Lots of variety in our jobs to do and at the end of each day a fantastic meal and a couple of Jonathon`s beers or wine to wash it down. Our room had a magnificent view towards the Pyrenees, a joy to wake up to each morning. Mim and Jonathon… read more

The most wonderful couple full of beans, joy and hardwork. They made the time we spent together really enjoyable, mucked in and exceeded all expectations. I only wish we could have persuaded them to stay longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our work away experience with Terry and Ernie in Bretagne. We were given freedom to work at our own pace at a variety of tasks. The accommodation was excellent in our own private apartment in the Manoir close to the Chateau, although we did provide our own meals. We had lots of opportunity to travel throughout Bretagne on… read more

Linni and Trent were fantastic hosts for our very first Work Away stay. Right from the beginning they were warm and welcoming, even picking us up from the bus station on our arrival. The work involved was gardening, mostly weeding, and replanting garden beds. After working our designated time, we got to cool off in the amazing salt water swimming… read more
