It's remote area but there is a workaway car and a local bus infront of the house.
I only stayed there for two weeks but it was wonderful.
I've never worked at a farm before but it was so easy to get into it. Everybody is so patient and always willing to explain. It's mostly outdoor work which also is a great exercise;)
