Marie-Theres initially came to stay for 2 weeks and ended up staying about 10 weeks. We have formed a great friendship.
Always smiling and helpful, it was an absolute pleasure to host her.
Marie-Theres got on extremely well with my Japanese student, my sister who lives closeby and all of my visitors ranging from children to seniors.
She assisted

My time spent at Roland's farm was amazing! The jobs are never too difficult, I had a lot of fun feeding the alpacas and horses and even vacuuming poo was an amusing experience. Roland is a really kind and considerate man, who can teach you a lot of things about alpacas, Australian culture and whatnot. There is always someone stopping at his

Roland was thoughtful, considerate and went out of his way to ensure our needs were met.
He checked-in regularly to see if we'd learnt anything new... we learnt heaps!
We enjoyed helping Roland with specific projects during our 2-3 week stay e.g. installing new gates, building an Alpaca shelter and shearing the herd - never a dull moment!

Roland generously drove us around Alstonville and introduced us to other Alpaca farmers in the area - a real highlight; as was dinner with his family, celebrating their Mum's birthday as soon as we arrived.
We bonded with Alsonville; it's red soils and coastal breezes - we plan to stay in the region for sometime!

We spent only a week in the magnificent Eden Valley of Alstonville. Unfortunately, like all the most beautiful things, time has really flown. We spent our most beautiful time in Australia with Roland,his biped and quadruped family. Roland is kind, has a big heart and loves his animals very much. Coral, her sister, is a special woman who hosted us

We loved spending time with their mom too, listening to all her stories. She is such a lovely woman. And Roland's best friend, his dog Baster and Pam, we've never met a woman like her before. We loved being with this wonderful family, swimming with Coral in her pool, visiting the Koala Center in Lismore, the Friday pizza at the club, the fantastic food, the Christmas parties with their friends and the training with the beautiful Alpacas. We would hope to spend more time with all of them, it seemed we have been part of their family after few hours with them. We could not have wished for a better experience than this here in Australia. We met some special friends who took part of our heart. We just can say Thanks Alstonville family !!!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

We stayed for 10 days with Roland. We had so much fun with Pam (she's also livin in the house). And a lot of fun with Vacuuming the Alpaca-Poo. The most of our work was weeding because Roland was very busy with his 2nd job. We really enjoyed the dinners shared with coral (the sister) and inge (mom).

Sono stato da Roland solo 10 giorni che sono passati come fossero 1 mese. Dopo poco tutti in quello strano ambiente diventano estremamente familiari. Roland è un tipo che all'inizio va conosciuto, il suo carattere ha degli alti e bassi e in principio può confondere. Il lavoro è semplice e mai troppo impegnativo a condizione che voi siate disposti

Pam è l'anima pulsante della casa. Nonostante la sua età avanzata è estremamente divertente e attiva. Bloody hell!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

It was great to spend time with David. He has a good work ethic, is hard working, efficient and energetic. David had no trouble completing any tasks. it was great to have his help with the animals and on the property in general.
David was also interesting to talk to and fun to have around. I recommend him to any future host.

Spent almost a full month at Roland's place. Had such a great time with his family and all the animals.

I almost saw a little baby alpaca (little friiiieda) get born, and we even made it in to the newspaper and the news on tv for taking to young alpacas to the library in Lismore haha! Not everyone get to say the did that, haha such a good experience! We also took the animals, Benny and Lighthouse, to a few preschools (they all read a book called “alpacas with maracas”) and it was so lovely to see the kids get so excited about seeing the alpacas! Roland even took me out on a rescue boat he operates on the weekends, to see the boat race and take part in holding up the flags at start and stuff! Soooo cool!!!! Because of a lot of rain I did not really work much, which Roland was so easy going about, but when it finally didn’t rain the work was easy! Usually drove the lawnmower with the poo-vacuum on the back and just sucked up alpaca poop from the paddock - easy and actually surprisingly chilled job to do haha!
I cannot thank Roland enough for my workaway experience and I can only highly recommend other people to come stay in Alstonville! Thank you !!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Staying with Roland was awesome. Working was fun and included cleaning the paddocks with kind of a poo vaccumizer, cleaning, help with drenching and cutting toe nails of the alpacas as well as cooking and a bit of gardening.

Everyone who visits Roland and his animals will make new friends as there are always students and friends staying with him therefore the atmosphere is very good and there is a lot to talk about.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

It took me a while to write this because time really flies when you’re travelling but you totally deserve a good review, because the three weeks in Ballina were a pleasure. Roland loves to tell you stories about the alpacas and makes sure you won’t get bored. I was lucky to even see two alpacas get shorn and I took care of three baby chooks.
