About Me I moved to Australia in 2003 and have been passionate about helping international students and backpackers experience this beautiful country through study and cultural exchange. To unwind, I’ve created a 12-meter pool and enjoy life on my small hobby farm, home to pets and rescue animals. Having traveled extensively, I cherish the opportunity for cultural exchange and love welcoming responsible helpers to care for my pets, plants, and property when I’m away or busy. 🌿 If you love nature, living in the bush and being surrounded by tropical sounds—this is your place! 🌟 Flexible Hours & Exciting Projects If you’d like to help with my websites, you can enjoy flexible hours to fit your schedule. 🦆 Animal Care Tasks need to be done early in the morning (around 7 AM - 9 AM) and again in the evening (6 PM - 7 PM). 🌿 Outdoor Projects For gardening or property maintenance, early mornings are the best time to work. 🌟 Join us to experience the beauty of nature, develop valuable skills, and create unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to welcome you! ✨ For more information or to get involved, feel free to reach out via our website: www.berryspringsfarmstay.com.au About us: www.berryspringsfarmstay.com.au/farmstay-australia-darwin-northern-territory/

This was definetly an unique experience! I slept in a shipping container next to geese and cooked outside with my daily companions: the flies. My daily task was to cut grass for the super adorable donkeys but that wasn't the only task. There's always something to do on the farm therefore it never gets boring and you won't get sick of monotone work (I even learned how to groom dogs).
I enjoyed being surrounded by so many sweet animals (bunnies, cats, the donkeys etc.) and always being outside. After work you can use the pool or discover the area around & go to the Berry Springs :)

My experience was very short as I left on the same day I arrived. In my opinion it might of worked out if I would have had a different room. Although I was honest and said that the room that I was put in I couldn’t stay due to many reasons, the host didn’t really help me with that problem.
The animal situation is in my opinion in some cases difficult.
I do think that the host is trying her best. It just didn’t work out for me.

Sorry, Tami! I’m so used to outback and outdoor life that I sometimes forget it’s not for everyone. We've improved our screening process to ensure that applicants fully understand what to expect before arriving.
We truly love our native animals here, especially the frogs and geckos—they’re an essential part of our environment and a joy to have around! 🐸🦎
Wishing you all the best!

Despite the 2 star review, I enjoyed the farm by itself. I stayed for a little over 2 weeks and was mainly responsible for pulling gras out of the ground, and cutting bamboo/bananas. It’s exhausting work but reasonable for farm work. Others, who stayed longer, had significantly more contact with animals. I stayed in both a shipping container (cyclone safe, not rain proof) and a room with a talking parrot. Both spaces were reasonably clean and insect-proof. My problem lay with the host who did not communicate clearly and never seemed to answer a concrete question.

Hi Tizia,
I hope you're doing well. All the necessary information was provided on the website, which you had access to throughout. It would have been great to discuss any questions or concerns you might have directly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything you’d like to clarify.
Best regards,

Staying at this farm was unforgettable. Surrounded by nature, it’s perfect for disconnecting and enjoying a peaceful environment. The variety of animals is fascinating, and tasks like caring for them and helping with cleaning offered valuable insights into rural life.
The host was kind, and the shared experience with other volunteers was enriching. Though the farm is remote, it adds to the sense of adventure. Ideal for those seeking simplicity and a connection with nature.
