It has been an amazing experience to join Carol and Trevor family.
They included me in their daily life. I've enjoyed Carol's amazing dinner, and Thanksgiving around the campfire.

I stayed with Carol and Trevor for about 2 months from September to October 2024. They where incredibly welcoming and kind to me. Both are very easy to get along with and accomodating to take you places as needed.

They have many pets that give wonderful cuddles and generally the house is very laid back and friendly giving you a wonderful base to explore the island and the excellent hiking in the area.Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Lily )
It was a please to have Lily . Lily worked throughout her stay painting, moving wood, raking leaves and even cleaning windows.

Thank you Matt!
Matt was a great addition to the family. He was conscientious and very generous with his time. He worked hard and completed his jobs quickly and thoroughly. He had no problem working independently and managing his time.
We really enjoyed his sense of humor, his kindness and appreciated how good he was to our pets and livestock.

Matt was easy to feed, he ate anything and was thankful and generous. Matt was tidy and always helped with the dishes, just an ideal house guest!
Matt is an extension of the family and is always welcome to come back at any time!
Happy travels, Matt. Come back soon.

What a great guy! Jerome is a very hard, steady and consistent worker. He moved and stacked a lot of firewood!
Jerome was considerate, clean, and welcome extension of the family. He was loved by all our pets and farm animals and he was extremely kind to all of them.
Jerome is always welcome to come stay again and we wish him happy travels!

Carol and Trevor are a fantastic couple of hosts. They were very nice by taking care of me like a member of their family and I spent Chrismas and New Year with them.
Carol is a great cook and Trevor is very funny. Both are very friendly and they will do everything to be sure that their workawayer will enjoy his travel to Canada.

I stayed with this family for 6 weeks and I enjoyed every single day in Canada. I was very lucky to meet them.
Take care and see you soon maybe, you never know :)
Deixado pelo Workawayer (George) para o anfitrião
I had a great time at Carol and Trevor's.
I was mostly sanding and painting as well as a few other jobs like lighting fires.
Carol and Trevor are both really friendly and have a great sense of humour. They make you feel like part of the family.
I miss them (and the dogs/cats!) very much. I hope to visit again!

What a fantastic guy!
George was a pleasure to host. Always pleasant and always game to jump in and help out. He was clean, tidy and very responsible. He blended into our family and was so much fun to have.

George has a fantastic personality and was quick with a grin when we teased him. He was kind and loving with all our pets/animals and our poor chihuahua misses him terribly.
George is welcome back to our house any time, at the drop of a hat. Thank you for all your help and good memories.
Good luck and please have safe travels.
Please keep in contact!

I had a wonderful experience with the family in Westholme. This family made me feel immediately at home with a warm welcome and freshly made cookies. They are all very intelligent and funny we had amazing conversations and I loved joking around with them. (great sense of humour). Every night we would eat dinner together and it was always a
… read more pleasure Carol is the best cook iv ever had, the range this woman has in the kitchen is insane iv never eaten this good in my life, the only problem is you have to save room for dessert which was my favourite part. Best pecan pie on the planet!!! The work wasn't difficult and they were happy to let me work on my initiative. The house is a beautiful 100year old building surrounded by huge old-growth trees with amazing views from the front porch also just a few minutes from the city of Duncan. They have 3 dogs and 3 cats that are always available for pets/snuggles I miss them so much especially little missy, the most adorable little Chihuahua you will ever see I spent a lot of time feeding her treats she was twice the size when I left ha. I would highly recommend staying with this family. They are down to earth nice wholesome peoples. I would consider them family iv never felt so welcome if I didn't have to go back to Ireland for work I'd still be staying with them. I miss chilling and watching shows and movies with Trevor talking shit and telling dirty jokes. And I miss my conversations/bitching sessions😉 with Carol in the kitchen in the evening while she made dinner or on our way to Costco. Carol is an amazing woman who literally works 24/7 running her business her family cooks and cleans non stop, it makes me tired just thinking about all the stuff she does but it's also inspiring. All of the family have a place to stay in Ireland any time your more than welcome and I'll be your personal tour guide. Thank you all for the amazing experience I had and I hope to see you in the future!!Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (DanTinz91)
We miss him so much!
Daniel was such an immense help. All we had to do was point him in the general direction and he took care of everything. His work ethic was outstanding and he was comfortable and happy to work work independently or with us. He certainly earned his keep and then some! He mended fences, repaired sheep pens (building gates and

Daniel was always kind and loving to all our animals. Our little Chihuahua misses him terribly. Our Great Danes miss "treat time" in the evenings, and the cat is sad that he can't knock all his belongings on the floor.
He was always quick to gently tease and smile. He always had a cheeky grin when we teased him back. He never once complained.
He blended into our family completely and our only disappointment was that we didn't get to keep him longer!
We sincerely hope he make his way back to us soon. We would be thrilled to have him stay with us again. He is just like family, but better.
Come back any time Daniel!!

Thank you so much Alexandre! What a super nice guy.
Alex was a pleasure to have in our home. He was always helpful and did every task we asked him to do with a big smile on his face. He paid attention to detail and always jumped to help during the day whether he was asked to do so or not. He even helped us process meat chickens. Not everyone's

It's a very nice family, they are very accommodating. it was with great pleasure that they lent me a bicycle so that I could discover the surroundings and go swimming in the river.

She is now our Swiss extension of the family!

I spend 3 weeks there. Carol was a great host, and almost the embodiment of Canadian kindness. Her cooking is great, her family is nice and the view from her house is beautiful. All in all a great use of my time in Canada.
