We had a wonderful experience with Huw and Rhianna - after the initial shock of discovering they were both English, not Welsh :) Huw and Rhianna are both lovely, enthusiastic people who came prepared with their own gloves - a very good sign. `We had many enjoyable chats over lunch and they truly helped us knock the garden into shape, putting in long days of weeding without complaint - not the most glamorous job. Both Huw and Rhianna were wonderful with our kids - they really connected and our boys thought they were great fun.|| We were very happy to have them and pleased when they extended their stay an extra week. Highly recommended!

Deborah and Albert were an absolute joy to host! They joined us on September 13th and stayed until September 24th. During their stay, they were incredibly helpful in every way – from organising, cleaning, gardening, and cooking. Thanks to Deborah and Albert, other guests felt welcomed, included, and inspired to contribute as well. Their positive attitude and friendly nature made everything run so much smoother, and they got along wonderfully with everyone. I can only speak in the highest regard of Deborah and Albert and am confident that they will be an invaluable addition to any team, bringing dedication, positivity, and a collaborative spirit that uplifts everyone around them. I feel very fortunate to have met them. I would happily welcome them back anytime and hope our paths cross again someday!

I had such a wonderful time with Bronwyn and her dogs/puppies. It was great learning about her business and the process of breeding, training and selling her puppies. Bronwyn was such a lovely and kind person towards me and everyone who came. It was really an amazing time and place to be. Hopefully, I can come back soon.

Momoko is a truly wonderful person who quickly won everyone’s hearts with her charm and kindness. From the very first day, she showed a genuine willingness to help and a positive spirit that made her presence unforgettable. She was always ready to contribute in any way needed, and her support was a great gift for us. One of the most beautiful qualities she brought was her incredible patience and tenderness with the children. She connected with them in such a natural and loving way that every activity became a moment of joy and learning. The children adored her, and we all admired the calm, caring energy she shared with us. Having her with us was a very special and heartwarming experience. She left not only her help but also a lasting impression filled with love, joy, and gratitude. If anyone has the chance to welcome her, don’t hesitate — she is 100% recommended and will surely make a difference wherever she goes.

Michael and Rachel, Where do I even begin?! This was my very first Workaway experience and this family and property has set the bar high! I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU!! From the moment I met them I knew I was being guided into a great experience. Beginning with the drive up to their property—I could already feel my nervous system relaxing. Their home is beautiful, accommodations left me feeling spoiled and I appreciated the delicious and healthy food. Eli, their lovely dog and Brio their rescue bunny were welcome cute companions. I was so happy to have my hands in the dirt most of the time. I got to work on amending, planning and designing their beautiful Hugelkultur garden. I really appreciate the trust Rachel and Michael put in me to help plan and execute their garden. Michael is so knowledgeable, but was open to my ideas and vision which the creative in me appreciated. I also enjoyed my time cooking and meal prepping for them as I love cooking. I really appreciated the variety of tasks that kept the experience interesting and gave me opportunities to learn new skills. Rachel is a fantastic cook and I still dream of her salad dressings and veggie burgers, which I have yet to try recreating! Michael is a great teacher, patient and held me capable to most anything thrown my way. I appreciated the freedom to work on my own most days, enjoying the elements while listening to a podcast or the sound of the wildlife. The sound of ravens swooping by or frogs at night and on my drives home was a fond memory. This opportunity really helped build my confidence in myself, my abilities and reiterated my deep reverence for and connection to the earth and plants. Mocking up the garden on iPad was a fun experience! I got to be part of weeding, tilling, starting and caring for seedlings, shopping for seeds, some landscaping (leveling out sloped ground), learning about irrigation, creating their first asparagus patch, and experimenting with companion planting and bringing some beneficial flowers into the garden beds. It was so fun to learn new gardening methods and get to apply some of the knowledge I was learning about plants and flowers in my Community Herbalist program. My schedule was indeed chockfull between school, the commute to Victoria and my hours, but it was a beautiful and meaningful experience and I’m so glad I still had time to also connect over games, meals, walks and a bonfire. I appreciated their down to earth nature, open communication and humour. I capped off my stay with a lovely crab dinner and a peaceful evening painting rocks and a sign for the new asparagus patch—pinching myself that this is the life I got to live for 7 weeks! On my very last afternoon, I enjoyed a meditative solo hike and river cold plunge, as well as some nettle harvesting from the abundant trails right on their doorstep! A bittersweet ending. Such great energy in this home and in Duncan. Do yourself a favour and discover it for yourself. I only wish I had more time for rockhounding, local explorations with them and to work on silversmithing projects with Michael (he is a talented silversmith and helped me craft my own copper bracelet). I hope to come back for a visit soon 🙏thanks for taking a chance on me and leaving such a lasting Workaway impression.

Albert and Maria were an absolute delight to have in our home, we now consider them family and did not want them to leave. They stayed 3 weeks and integrated well with us. They were a huge help around our property and in the kitchen. They weeded, dug out agapanthus and lillies. Moved a lot of mulch, helped spring clean and cooked some delicious meals. All our animals loved them particularly the dog and cat!! Thank you for the photos you took. We look forward to seeing them again soon and highly recommend them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Naama, una chica tranquila, muy atenta y trabajadora, nos ayudó mucho con Julia en la limpieza de nuestra chacra. Ella es además una auténtica cocinera, preparó un delicioso Shakshuka israelita. La recomendamos muchísimo!

I am 20 years old female, staying here for 10days in September. That was my first time trying workaway, but I believe it would be the best forever. Even thought that was quite a short time, I enjoyed talking with Pollie and living a local life in the beautiful city of cronolla!! there's one Latin American also doing the workaway, he also kindly helped me get a ride to the station. The overall connection of workawayers and hosts is really close, which made me feel relaxed. Because of my work back in my country, I needed to do a zoom meeting every night. Neri allowed me to use the space though it might have been a bit noisy. WiFi was good too. I won’t forget Neri's kindness and care for animals, people, and nature. Such a beautiful experience. Appreciate everything!

It was great to stay here! Everyone is super friendly, the place is right next to the lagoon and you get great food provided and even cooked for you once a day. The accommodation is a shared room with 3 beds and a bathroom. The job was reception tasks or helping with service in the restaurant and at times easy maintenance jobs. Overall I really loved staying here and can just highly recommend it!

We had an amazing time staying with Carmen and David. They’re relaxed, open-minded people who made us feel at home right away. We spent late summer evenings eating together in the garden and trading stories. They gave us great local tips, from the best ice cream and breweries to scenic drives and neighborhoods worth exploring. We also really appreciated the bits of indigenous linguistics, history and culture they shared with us along the way. The work was hands-on and enjoyable: we stained two decks, pulled weeds, and helped clear out the back garden from invasive plants. It was satisfying to see the progress, and we always felt our help was genuinely appreciated. Roke🐱, Ishk🐱, and Mino🐶 added to the relaxed atmosphere. This was one of the best Workaway stays we’ve had. If you get the chance to stay with Carmen and David, take it!

A great volunteer. Very helpful, proactive and with good initiative. Was great to have around and helped a lot. Highly recommend

Fiona and Louisa stayed with us in Dublin for four weeks. They were very pleasent, flexible and fun to have in our home. They taught us a lot about films during their stay. They took on a large variety of work while staying with us and always did it very cheerfully. We had another workaway from a different country staying with us at the time and they got on very well with her. I cannot recommend them highly enough and hope that they have a fabulous time for the remainder of their workaway adventures.

Gabe and Hannah were a lovely young couple who were a pleasure to have stay. Always happy and engaging and nothing was issue for them. I wish you both all the best in you next adventure in Germany. You are welcome back anytime! Huge thanks for all your contributions.

We spent 10 amazing days with Barbara and Jakup. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and comfortable. They are truly lovely, kind-hearted, and fun people, always respectful, friendly, and easy to talk to. The place itself is absolutely breathtaking, very peaceful. The work was well organized, they gave us clear tasks, the tools we needed and full independence to manage our time and responsibilities. They respected the agreed working hours and gave us the free days we had arranged in advance, which allowed us to explore the area and truly enjoy our time there. It was an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this Workaway exchange, it really brightened up our summer, thank you for everything!

What a great experience we had with Lotte. She was not only an attentive, interested, and skilled worker, but also part of our family from the very first moment. So easy-going – we all (including all our animals) loved her and already miss her. She worked with all our horses and was open to learning new things. She also proved to be a responsible tour guide, riding at the end of the line and observing the different needs of our guests. Even her cooking was amazing… what more can I say? The hardest part was letting her go. Whenever she’s knocking on your door, make space for her – you won’t regret it!

Asia war ende Juli zwei Wochen bei uns, und wir haben sie absolut lieb gewonnen. Sie ist eine erstaunliche Person die sich jeder Situation unkompliziert anpasst. Sie hat mich während meines Deutschlandsaufenthalt vertreten und alle ihr gestellten Aufgaben zur vollsten Zufriedenheit erfüllt. Sie hat mit viel Liebe sich um meine Tiere gekümmert und abseits davon auch im Haushalt Aufgaben übernommen die nicht ihre Aufgabe gewesen wären. Schade das ich soo wenig Zeit mit ihr verbringen konnte. Bei Alex und tim hat sie einen bleibenden positiven Eindruck hinterlassen. Wir danken Asia von Herzen für Ihre Hilfe und wünschen ihr alles Liebe und gute für Ihre Zukunft.

I had a very nice two weeks at the camping! Natalia was very kind, always checking I was doing ok, and her mother is a great cook Very chill during the week, with more activity during the weekend. I had the chance to go rafting, which was my first time ever, so thanks for the opportunity! We got to have pizza night and a cool night out in the village with Natalia's family :D I mainly did work in the garden, a bit of cleaning and used a leafblower for the first time. Adony was very pleasant to work with and yes, he knows his birds. All tasks were well explained and doable. I recommend this Workaway if you enjoy nature!

Brigitte is an inspirational woman and meeting her was a real eye-opener. She works hard and also sets a good example of how to live and enjoy life at any age. She is an excellent host getting out of her way to make people feel welcome. She is mindful of the environment and her garden is home to many species of plants and animals and an oasis of peace. I am so grateful to have spent two weeks with Brigitte. I helped her with gardening, cleaning, cooked some vegetables for preservation, varnished shutters and doors etc. We worked together very often and she was always very kind and supportive to me. Brigitte is a former English teacher, very talkative and I could practice conversation with her and gained a little insight into life in France. She also took me on two interesting trips. It was unforgettable experience. Thank you Brigitte for everything.

Jeanne spent two weeks with her friend Ugné here in our house. They arrived in the beginning of August, when there were tons of vegetables in the garden and everything had to be picked and canned as quickly as possible. They were just perfect, helped in house and garden, picked, cooked, planted, weeded and so on. Both have some experience in gardening and are able to work quite hard, even more than I asked. And they are interested in everything, they wanted to learn how to make cheese and bread, how to milk a goat, and how to make yogurt. We had a very good time with them, beautiful talks and good laughs.

Our first ever work away experience. We were nervous leading up to it not knowing what would be expected of us but the hosts made our jobs very clear - ranging from painting, general maintenance, gardening and some hotel reception work. All materials for the jobs were provided so they could be carried out and our well-being was always a priority. Kim and Flo are really special people and we felt part of the community in Cahuita thanks to them. We had most afternoons free depending on the work and were able to make the most of our time visiting beaches and seeing lots of wildlife! Kim is also an incredible cook and we appreciated her sharing dinner and deSSerts on occasions :) We will miss them and of course their lovely dogs Sherlock and Vito! Thank you so much for hosting us and for the memories.
