Christina and Gustav are incredibly welcoming and kind hosts. We stayed with them for two and a half weeks and truly felt at home from the beginning. We usually worked 4–5 hours in the morning, which left us plenty of free time in the afternoons to explore the area. Our tasks included garden maintenance, feeding the animals, helping in the workshop, and repairing part of the roof. We shared many delicious meals together and had great conversations, which really helped us improve our English. We also enjoyed playing board games together. Thank you so much for this wonderful stay. We would definitely come back without hesitation!

My two weeks with Barbara and Jude were wonderful. They are both very special, kind and warm hearted people, and I enjoyed every minute I spent with them. The house, the land, and the surroundings are beautiful, there are lots of animals, and you can really switch off and relax. My tasks were varied; I painted the porch, built fences, repotted plants, did gardening and some household chores. I was able to work freely and learned many new skills. I will take a lot away from my time in the Tablelands and would like to thank them both very much!!!

In 2 weeks with John and Laura we learnt so much! The cosy cabin is tucked away on a part of their beautiful land surrounded by trees and birds. It has everything you need from a comfy bed to a double gas stove. The hours are fair and give you lots of free time to explore. We are in awe of John, he is incredibly hard working, super patient and kind, and has lots of knowledge to share! John is a pleasure to work for as he demonstrated everything, his instructions were clear and reasonable and he carefully explained tasks to help us understand. John taught us so many practical skills and things about the environment and nature, and how to take care of it which we were really grateful for! Laura is kindhearted with lots of interesting stories and theories to share. She’s open to talk about anything and a very free thinker which we love. I enjoyed the little, lighter tasks as well and (maybe too many) conversations during! Brandon really loved playing her piano and learning about the different places to visit in the area. Laura showed us great hospitality and was very welcoming. Thank you both for a lovely stay! :)

Beatrice is a true artist and an incredibly talented and skilled person. She helped us beautifully complete a stove project and created an amazing mosaic that we will truly cherish. She works quickly and efficiently, getting things done with great attention to detail. In addition to her artistic contributions, she helped extensively in the garden with harvesting, planting, weeding, and other tasks. Beatrice is not only highly capable but also super fun to be around, environmentally conscious, and full of positive energy. I would strongly recommend her for any artistic or gardening work—she excels at both and is a wonderful addition to any team with her lively spirit.

Alicya stayed with us for a month, which really gave us the opportunity to get to know her well. From the beginning, she was enthusiastic and willing to help with whatever was needed. She was always excited to join tasks and brought a lively, happy energy to the farm. Alicya helped with all kinds of work and also shared her yoga and dancing moves with us, which added a lot of joy to the experience. She is very communicative, fun to be around, and was truly a great addition to the team so I would really recommend her for future hosts.

An absolutely wonderful stay with Russell and Petra, never a dull moment and always something engaging to do! From planting tubers and marigolds to harvesting peas and working in their beautiful veggie garden, there was always a chance to engage with nature and savour the artwork of previous workaway folk. And of course a top highlight is Russel's guided tour of the town of Oamaru, the kind of behind the scenes knowledge that only a local can bring and a real highlight of my stay. This is a brilliant place to stay and swap some culture!

Wei is a highly passionate and knowledgeable person when it comes to farming. He was a great help in the garden, assisting with planting, weeding, and the general care of plants, always working with attention and dedication. He also played an important role in building a water system and contributed to various construction projects around the farm. Wei is naturally curious, eager to learn, and thrives on challenges—he never likes to sit idle and is always looking for ways to be useful. On top of that, he is a funny, kind, and pleasant person to be around. I would strongly recommend him to future hosts, especially those focused on farming and permaculture projects.

Alysia was a wonderful presence at the farm. She is a very positive person—always smiling, communicative, and bringing great energy to everything she did. She was a huge help with daily tasks and especially contributed a lot of hard work and care in the garden. Alysia is a quick learner who takes initiative and adapts easily, and she built great connections with everyone at the farm. It was a pleasure hosting her, and I would strongly recommend her to any future host.

Two incredibly skilled individuals, good - and even better - at everything they mention in their profile: DIY, construction, pet sitting is what they did at mine, not just with practical skills but also theoretical and technical knowledge, their advices were as precious as their work. I highly recommend Johannes and Steffen.

Tive a sorte de poder passar os últimos dois meses com Isis, Anselmo e a filha deles, Verena. Esses dois meses foram uma experiência maravilhosa, que recomendo a todos. Isis e Anselmo são pessoas muito simpáticas e abertas, que me incluíram em todas as atividades familiares. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer a família de ambos e sou muito grata(o) por ter sido recebida(o) com tanto carinho. Quando surge algum problema, Isis e Anselmo são muito prestativos e tentam resolvê-lo juntos. Caieiras é uma cidade pequena, mas tem tudo o que é necessário para viver, e São Paulo também é facilmente acessível. Há boas conexões de ônibus e trem. Os três cães da família são muito dóceis e brincalhões. O trabalho é bem viável e há bastante tempo livre, que também pode ser aproveitado em lindos passeios com Isis e Anselmo. Quero agradecer de coração por essa experiência maravilhosa e vou sentir muita saudade de todos vocês.

Camille est quelq'un avec qui nous avons pu avoir de beaux échanges humains. Elle nous a beaucoup aidé au jardinage/élagage. C'est avec elle qu'on découvert nos premiers oeufs bleus 😂 Nous la recommandons aisément pour vos prochains workaway 😉

This is very secluded paradise. Kary and Nhung are wonderful hosts. The food was very tasty. I stayed there 3 weeks and I was working in the garden. We did a very nice hike to Panama. The room was very nice, you hear the waves all the time.

This place is amassing. Beautiful location in the forest far from town. There is nice river, that you can swim. The atmosfer is great, everyday something interesting to do like live music at the fire, salsa class. Work is very simple and you can learn little bit about gardening.

This was my first Workaway trip, and I'm so grateful I chose to stay with Uky and Tule at their hostel. I had an amazing time, the girls dorm was quite large and clean, and the guests that came through that I had the pleasure of meeting were of all backgrounds and so friendly. The job itself was a breeze, with ample time to go to the beach, surf, take yoga classes or any of the other peaceful activities Santa Teresa has to offer and shops and the beach are in walking proximity so there's not a huge cost for transportation. Overall I had an amazing time and definitely plan on coming back. Thank you Uky and Tule for hosting me, and best wishes, Pura Vida!

Emma and Griffin are fantastic volunteers. They helped me a lot with gardening, weeding and opening up more space for new garden designs in our hill project. They are completely independent, responsable, with own initiatives, in a good mood, hard working, very respectfull and observing. It was beautifull spending time together, with a lot of good and very interesting conversations and laughings. With both you can really say, you have the exchange spirit of workaway. I recomend them warmly for any host who wants to have respectfull and hard working persons around. Hope we will see us again and spend more time together.

Nous avons passé un super séjour avec Léa ! Son humeur particulier et sa passion pour les bouquins nous ont valu de beaux fous rires. Léa est très agréable, à l’écoute, applique avec sérieux les missions qu’on lui confie et c'est ok. 😂 Nous la recommandons sans hésiter. Alors, à quand la prochaine partie de Skull King ? 🏴‍☠️

I really enjoyed my experience with Mira and Krsna. This was my first Workaway, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. They are incredibly generous people who love to share not only delicious food, but also their stories and life experiences. Our open and honest conversations gave me space to reflect on my own journey. The food, the yoga, the meditation, and the mountains all contributed to a very grounding stay. Living close to nature and learning more about off-grid and minimalist living was enriching. I would recommend this place to anyone who is curious about a simpler way of life and values human connection.

I fell in love with Elodie! She is an amazing, interesting and highly talented person. Elodie demonstrated a real and very special connection with the animals at my shelter, well beyond normal interactions. Her efforts and commitment to animal welfare was inspiring and she gave me a huge sense of relief in that I had such great support with the care of my animals. She was equally good at working as part of a team or doing it alone. Nothing was too hard. She is a passionate person that is excited about life, about everything. She was serious, but she was fun. Elodie was also fantastic in the kitchen, and she made the best crepes ever – voted best meal by the other volunteers. I had the joy of Elodie’s help for almost 7 weeks which was over in a flash, and she only left because someone needed her more, which reflected her selflessness and compassion. Taking Elodie to the airport for her return to France was one of my saddest days. I want her back!

Eric! What can I say—this wasn’t just a Workaway experience, you became part of the family. And since you left, there’s definitely an Eric-shaped void here! To any future host: what are you waiting for? Eric is fantastic company, thinks for himself, loves a good laugh, enjoys being part of a team, and always notices what needs doing. A true team player—you’ll be wondering how you ever managed without him! I always try to find something a helper could improve… for Eric… don’t work so hard! It was hard to keep up with you!
