John Paul is great with people and very open and kind hearted. He is very experienced and competent at working on his own. He could also manage the other workawayers and teach them the tasks that were needed to be done. I would highly recommend John Paul to work with you.

Nik was a fantastic addition for us. Very easy going, adaptable and worked very well takeing care of rescue pets. Nik helped with some needed home renos and outside jobs. He worked well independently and as a team on various projects painting, flooring, organizing ect. He really likes outside work and visiting with the community here. He would be a trustworthy and helpful volunteer for other workaways. Wishing you the best of luck on your travels Nik. Sunny, Giszmo, Peppers and October.

What an amazing experience for my first workaway opportunity! Leo was managing the co-living and is such an fun, upbeat and friendly guy. He really did a great job making everyone feel welcome and keep a family vibe in the space. We had fun weekly meetings that kept everyone on the same page and figure out what our events are going to be. We had 3 shifts a week and they were pretty simple without a lot of responsibility, but being available and open to the guests. Some people took their job as volunteer a little less seriously (didn't do everything expected of them during shift) but overall we worked as a team and I can say everyone at the co-living felt apart of the family. We had people leave, but still come back for family dinner or even move back in after a few weeks elsewhere. The community is what really locks people in! Leo was awesome and I can't thank him enough for a great stay! I even extended for an extra week because 4 wasn't enough :) *I had one guest reach back out to me after I left because people are still referring to the bbq around the street as "Meat Salon" which I made up and I'm so happy to see that it's lived on in the IYKYK of the place :) :)

Alexandrine spent six weeks with us and we absolutely loved having her here. She assisted in all areas including admin. She could turn her hand to anything; gardening, DIY, creative tasks. Alexandrine is an emerging artist and we would love to work with her in the future. She is a general all rounder, skilled in many areas and a lovely person.

Sarah needed clear instruction at first but once she understood how we work here she was able to work independently. She is a very lovely, kind and good natured person. We had a lot of good conversations and we enjoy that here. She was able to see through each task. She is diligent and pays attention to detail. Thank you for all of your help Sarah.

I had a fantastic experience staying with Fe as my Workaway hostess. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel incredibly welcome and comfortable in her home. Fe is kind, polite, and an exceptional host who went out of her way to ensure I felt at ease. We connected over our shared love for Japanese culture, which led to meaningful conversations and a genuine exchange of our respective cultures. Fe also shared captivating stories from her extensive travels, which added a special dimension to my stay. Her warmth and openness made this experience truly memorable, and I would highly recommend her as a hostess to future Workawayers.

Esta fue mi primera experiencia con Workaway y al principio tenía un poco de miedo porque mi español no era muy bueno. Pero ese miedo desapareció de inmediato. El refugio es un lugar mágico y todos son muy amables; te hacen sentir bienvenido desde el primer momento. El trabajo es físico, sí, pero al mismo tiempo muy divertido gracias a los animales y a los otros voluntarios. Definitivamente volveré algún día. La lengua principal es el español, y yo aprendí mucho allí aunque no tenía muchos conocimientos previos. Todo es muy agradable y siempre hay apoyo para mejorar el idioma :) Voy a extrañar a todos <3 ¡Gracias por todo Benzi y Sandra!!!

i spent an amazing week with andreas in his garden. the activities we did together were very useful (e.g., chopping wood, gardening, cutting trees, using the gravel etc…), he was always clear at explaining the task requested and available if there was any doubt. he was also good at cooking delicious meals, along with his friend carlos, who was truly fun to have around. he introduced us to some of his neighbours, that were all nice and enjoyable people. a special moment was when we all had dinner in front of a fire in the garden. hillerød is a nice city, with a beautiful castle (frederiksborg castle) that is definitely worth visiting. the city is close to copenhagen (40 minutes by train), which makes it easy to reach it when there’s some spare time. there are some enjoyable bicycle routes in the area, such as one leading to the fredensborg castle (very close to a beautiful lake). besides this, I really enjoyed the time I spent with andreas and the other two guys he was hosting, as there was a very nice and funny atmosphere when we were all together. I truly recommend him as a host

It was a pleasure to host Paul for the time he was with us here. Paul is an artist and we had a lot of interesting conversations. He is a very polite and well-mannered guy. He requires clear instruction yet he happily follows through with the tasks. He observed the house rules well and was very respectful of our space. Thank you for all your help Paul and we hope to see you again.

Mina and Friedo are a young, lovely couple and truly pleasant company. Both are very artistic in spirit: they spent time drawing and painting on paper and wood, and even created a beautifully designed scarecrow for the garden that looked like a piece of art. They worked with great dedication during their stay. Together we harvested all the grapes, pressed them, and set the juice aside for winemaking. Although I found them to be rather slow workers, they were consistent, reliable, and never gave up until the job was done. As vegetarians, they prepared meals that were delicious for me as well; the plum dumplings they cooked were especially tasty! They have a clear love for potatoes and tomatoes, which often made its way into their dishes. Their style of clothing and overall appearance was unusual for me at first, but in a positive and refreshing way, which reflected their unique personalities. Mina and Friedo stayed with me for two weeks, and it was a truly enjoyable time, I recommend them warmly to anyone!

I had a wonderful time staying with this host. They were very kind and understanding, and even though my English is not very strong, I was able to have such a valuable experience. The work included cleaning paddocks and flowerbeds, as well as moving firewood for the wood stove. Some tasks required physical strength, but they never felt overwhelming. I also appreciated that there was always enough time to rest and recharge, so the work never felt too hard. The meals were always delicious, and I even had the chance to try kangaroo meat, which allowed me to experience the unique flavors of Australia. The host’s home is surrounded by beautiful nature and lovely animals, and the star-filled night sky was absolutely breathtaking. The two weeks I spent in the great outdoors were truly unforgettable and full of happiness. Thank you so much! Seishiro, Yusaku

I had nice experience having you this few days my guest , the weather was not always good but still we have been doing some usefull work and felt a nice vibe . Hope you keep having nice journey and hosts but i am Shure you do . All the best

Jonah and Dana came to stay with me for a month while I was recovering from a foot injury, and they brought much fun and joviality with them! They helped with the daily dog-walking, various menial tasks, and house-sat all the animals for me while I took a trip down south. More importantly they were very good company. Dana is a good cook and we enjoyed many leisurely breakfasts to start the day. I was very impressed by their inflatable flamingo and unicorn, which they would take down to the river when it was sunny. The three of us even had a 'date night' one evening with music and wine. And how could I not mention the chicken hats? Hilarious.

Staying at S. Fiora with George and Sophie was such a special experience. Life off-grid in the Tuscan hills wasn’t always easy, but it was real, rewarding, and full of small moments I’ll always remember. The kids are just wonderful!! So smart, funny, and curious. I loved chatting with them and sharing those simple everyday moments; they brought so much warmth to my stay. George and Sophie welcomed me openly and trusted me in the work, which made me feel included right away. I left S. Fiora not only with memories of the place, but also with a deep appreciation for the family and their way of living.

Baptiste came to us in early July 2025 with his two friends, Zac and Noé. Initially, the plan was for them to come just for one week to pick up about a kilometre of large, old hardwood fence posts from our smaller farm, cart them all back to our principal farm, and chop them up into manageable firewood. What ended up happening was that they finished this job in lightning speed, including immaculately cleaning out the old woodshed and stacking their chopped wood as if it were an art installation. By the end of the week, it was quite clear that we didn’t want them to go anywhere, and they, thankfully, didn’t want to leave. They ended up staying with us for three wonderful, seriously fun and highly productive months throughout winter (with fires burning every night and wood stores continuously restocked) and into spring. Turning to Baptiste specifically (aka Bat or Batman): he is polite, has impeccable manners, is extremely driven, a perfectionist, has an excellent work ethic and is really good company. Every single morning he was up at the crack of dawn, well before anyone else, and straight to work. He preferred to get stuck into his jobs early so he could spend his afternoons either at the gym, going for long walks with our golden retriever, Honey, or playing the guitar. Baptiste is very strong physically, with a clear passion for fitness, music, and food - and motorbikes. He’s an excellent singer and guitarist and we were really lucky to be serenaded in the evenings in front of the fire with his music. I’d get up every morning to find an empty dishwasher and a spotless kitchen. Washing in the laundry was always folded, and tea towels and towels were rolled in a way that I'll never be able to replicate! Baptiste is also an extremely talented cook and treated us to countless delicious dishes during his time here: crêpes, brioche, the best pizza dough, his mum’s lasagne, bolognese sauce, homemade pasta, biscuits, caramel, coconut shrimp curry, French toast, and more. He cleared the dining table every evening and was always first into the kitchen to help tidy up afterwards. His English is completely fluent, truly impressive, and he constantly surprised me with his vocabulary and knowledge of the language in general. Some of his other jobs during his time here included: washing the house (it's a big house) and walled courtyard with a high-pressure cleaner; spending several days cleaning out the sheep yards of manure, then loading it into the ute and spreading it over lawns and garden beds; mowing expansive lawn areas; cleaning our oven until it sparkled; restoring several Victorian hinges for repurposing; raking the front gravel; conditioning our leather chairs; taking Honey to the vet for her arthritis injections on two separate occasions; cleaning my car inside and out; moving a huge number of boxes and pieces of furniture to storerooms (including up and down very steep staircases); bringing the contents of the barn at our smaller property to the barn at our principal property; taking a ute load of wood to our beach house and stacking it; clearing the working farmyard and building/burning a bonfire there; and taking numerous rubbish bins to the local transfer station once a week. In addition to this, Baptiste spent three days in the sheep yards with our team, lamb-marking the spring lambs — a physically demanding job involving drafting off ewes from lambs, picking up each lamb (many weighing up to 15 kg), and placing them in a cradle to be vaccinated, castrated, tail-ringed, and ear-tagged. Baptiste tackled this tough job as though he’d been doing it for years, and his help and work ethic was appreciated by everyone. And then, on top of all of this, probably Baptiste's two greatest achievements during his time here with us were: 1) His involvement in the complete renovation of an old bedroom with an existing but decommissioned ensuite (now known as The Frenchies’ Room). Baptiste meticulously prepared the space for painting — cleaning, sanding, filling gaps in the timber ceiling panelling, repairing plasterwork, applying layers of BondCrete — and then finishing all the painting just in time for the carpet to be installed a few days before they left. 2) Taking on the enormous task of restoring three large early-1900s Oregon wood farm gates. Baptiste spent weeks sanding, repairing, and restoring the wood and metal hinges and bolts, bringing them back to life beautifully. They were re-hung just two days before the boys returned to France, complete with custom spacers to prevent them from dragging on the ground. As a memento of his time with us — and as a nod to his musical talents — Baptiste carved a beautiful miniature guitar from wood, which will form part of the décor in The Frenchies’ Room to forever remind us of him and the incredible work he did here. Baptiste is a beautiful soul and when he smiles, his eyes do too. He’s wonderfully polite, well brought-up, thoughtful, kind, and considered. He’s a deep-thinking young man who speaks from the heart. Bat has been an absolute joy to have with us. His contributions were many and varied, and his presence was deeply appreciated every single day. If you’re reading this because Baptiste has applied to stay or work with you — just say yes. You’ll be very lucky to have him. We are sincerely going to miss all three fabulous Frenchmen. They’re the best and will always have a place to call home here with us. I know we’ll see each other again. Thank you so much, Baptiste, for everything you have done for us — we’ll miss you. x

What a fantastic experience staying with Knut. He's a real outdoor adventurer, and I went fishing and crab fishing with him. I had a really great time, and he lets you share in his everyday life—it's great for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Norwegian traditions. Knut cooks very well, and I tried freshly hunted deer and fish. Paul, a long-term workawayer, was staying with Knut, so I could only stay for two and a half days... but it was worth every minute. He showed us the area, and we helped in the garden and with organizing the outdoor area. His home is like a museum, and you can find many interesting things there. This was my first workaway, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would have loved to stay longer. Thanks Knut.

I had an absolutely amazing three weeks with Kiki and Mo! Their place is truly wonderful, and they are such kind hosts. I’ve brought back so many special memories from my time there—it was a unique and unforgettable experience. I’m still smiling when I think about the beautiful women’s circle with Kiki, and the long, relaxing days at the beach with Mo. Those moments, along with the overall atmosphere, made my stay truly special. Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t even begin to describe the love and gratitude I feel for Steve and Sandy—but I’ll try. These past two weeks have been truly incredible, and I only wish I could have stayed longer. From the very first day, I was welcomed into their family with open arms. Sandy and Steve are some of the most caring, genuine, and loving people I’ve ever met through Workaway. One day when I was struggling, Sandy spent hours helping me heal with her bio essence, while Steve gave me the kindest emotional support. I quickly grew used to speaking clearly and loudly with Sandy, and I loved being able to help Steve with little everyday things that his blindness makes difficult. The food was always delicious and plentiful, and the accommodation was more than I could have hoped for—I even had a double bed and drawers (which I was especially excited about!). On top of all that, I had the chance to connect with other amazing Workawayers, which made the experience even richer. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone—it’s not just a Workaway, it’s an experience filled with love, care, and unforgettable memories. I’ll be back within two months. This isn’t goodbye, it’s just a “see you later

Simon was a very good and self-going person. Easy to communicate and easy to have in our home. Even when I had double-booked some activities, he was understanding and helped me with a solution. I only have good things to say about Simon. 😀

I spent a wonderful few days with Sarah in the casitas. The location is wonderful. Quiet, remote, and yet the charming little village Cadiar is only a few minutes away by car. Car is certainly a benefit to be more independent during a longer stay. Sarah is a wonderful host. She has almost inexhaustible energy and is always up for a laugh. I learned a lot about the garden, the emerging of the farm in the mountains, where barely anything existed before. And there was also a lot of handicraft work to do. There was also plenty of enjoyment to be had with good food featuring fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. Sarah cooks very well.
