Deixado pelo Workawayer (Mégane & Paul) para o anfitrião

A feedback won't be enough to describe our lovely stay at John and Judy's and how grateful we are to have met them. What should have been 2 weeks became 3 months "because" of the Covid, but we didn't feel stuck at all because we enjoyed every day we spent with this family. There is no better place to be : a caring family, AWESOME homemade food, a… read more

Well where does one start.....Paul and Megane were coming for 2 weeks and stayed 3 months......Covid-19 lockdown enforced the longer stay not being able to travel. But we made the most of their enjoyable stay. In their time with us purchased a car and prepared it for their continuing travels, chopped plenty of firewood, built fences, mortared… read more

We spent five days with John and Judy and even though the weather wasn't the best, it was a great experience! They made delicious meals, gave us very good tips for our journey and drove us to the train and several activities. We also spent a day with their lovely grandchildren in the Healsville Sanctuary.
Thanks for everything John and Judy :-)

We had a great week at John and Judy's. We mainly weeded and did a few jobs around the house, cleaning etc. They included us in family activities and made us feel very welcome and comfortable in their home, and we enjoyed chatting about travels with them. They were always kind enough to give us lifts on our days off- Thank you again for having us!

We had our best Workaway experience so far with John and Judy! They welcomed us warmly in their beautiful house and we instantly felt like part of the family. They were so nice to us, sharing yummy meals, evening games, movie nights and even invited us to the theater and the opening season game of AFL in Melbourne! It was so much fun to see a… read more

This family is absolutely wonderful! We loved getting to know John, Judy, and their children. They focus on cultural exchange and we were able to learn so much. The work was fun and they made sure we enjoyed what we were doing which was such a bonus! We were able to live life like a local and we couldn't have asked for a better Aussie experience!
