I stayed with this beautiful family for 10 days and helped with gardening, organizing spaces and other things. It was easy to communicate and they were always available and kind for every request or need.
Lesley, Mark, Jaden and Nathan are wonderful people, friendly, funny and love sharing good moments overlooking the ocean!
Thanks again for all

I really had a great time with Lesley, Mark and the kids! I was staying in a RV that was parked right at the waterfront so the view was breathtaking! I even got to use a kayak and go swimming which was amazing! I mostly helped in their garden because the farm on their profile doesn't exist anymore which I didn't know. But it didn't stop me from

Spent 5 awesome days with Lesley and Mark assisting them with their hobby farm and other ad hoc jobs. I had lots of fun learning basic farming and gardening principles, they're both good teachers and warm hearted people who will make you feel right at home!

Lesley and Mark were absolutely lovely hosts/people of the earth!
We were greeted with a big smile and hug from Lesley, which was nice.
Their abode is fantastic and our quarters were cosy and had everything we would need.
The food that was cooked up by Lesley was superb, our belly's were always full with delicious treats! :)

This was our first Workaway experience and we absolutely loved it!
The hours are great and being able to use the bikes when you want is brilliant as the surroundings are just lush and peaceful! This amazing place and its animals are well worth a visit!
Have a grand ol' time here when you come! :)
