Mi experiencia en la casa desde el principio fue muy agradable y confortable. Estuve en contacto con la naturaleza, con animales y personas buenas con corazones bonitos. Definitivamente me encantaría poder regresar y la recomiendo ampliamente.

From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcome. The people living there are kind, and Anita herself is an easy going, open, and patient person. Most of the tasks involved watering plants, weeding, or picking cherries. Besides the work, Anita showed me some beautiful spots around Duncan, and we often went swimming at the river. Anita was very supportive when I struggled to find the right English words. She's also an amazing cook. Every day there was something fresh and delicious to eat. As my very first Worldpackers experience, I couldn't have asked for a better place.

Anita is super friendly. Super good with communication. Her food is super healthy and I love her passion for healing cuisine and gardening. She made me feel at home. I enjoyed all the insightful conversation. She is super flexible with work hours as long as it has been discussed and communicated ~ 5hrs/day. I mostly did gardening work, weeding, planting, watering and sometimes helping Anita in the kitchen. Met some amazing people in her community. She has the most beautiful garden and love the ambience. I miss Anita, Willow and all the humming birds :) But I plan to stay in touch:)

Sunlotus was my first worldpackers experience and it was great! Anita has a lovely property, the cabin I stayed in was very cosy and the food she made was AMAZING. There was a nice range of simple tasks and it was enjoyable to work outdoors. I only wish that I could stay longer to see all the garden change and flourish. There are lots of cute cats and dogs on the farm too. I learnt more gardening skills and I enjoyed exploring the island. One thing that others applying may want to know is that there is a bus strike in Cowichan since Feb and it's hard to get around with no car. Thanks Anita!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the farm. Anita, the host, was more than welcoming and made incredible food every day. I socialised with the other people staying on the farm easily due to Anita going the extra mile to help facilitate day trips to local areas that were breathtaking. I enjoyed the work and no job was too difficult. I would highly recommend the farm to any Worldpacker looking for an authentic Vancouver Island experience.

Anita was a very welcoming and open minded host. It felt like I could talk to her about everything without being judged. The property is lovely and all the other people living there are contributing to an easy going and nice atmosphere. The food Anita makes is great aswell. The only downside during my stay was that I didn't have wifi in the RV I slept. As far as I understood that is only a temporary problem tho:)

If you like gardening, healthy food and a really cool environment, this experience is for you!! I had a very calm and relaxing time at the farm. The work consisted of watering the plants, some harvesting and help package products which was really fun for me, because i had the freedom to listen to music. It is important to know that Anita only has one volunteer at a time so you will have some time by yourselve. Anita is a very interesting person, whom I learned a lot from and the work is super fair! I was very well taken care of at the farm and I really recommend this experience!❤️✨

I had a really great experience at Sunlotus. Anita is very welcoming and she is also a fantastic chef and we were served healthy and delicious meals. Her garden is beautiful and it's a perfect place to relax and experience the Canadian countryside lifestyle. She gave clear direction and guidance for the work and the hours were as described. She also took us to Victoria on the weekend and her property is close to nearby towns (accessible by public transport). I'd definitely recommend Sunlotus if you're going to BC :)

This was my first world packers experience and it really set the bar high. Anita is so kind, understanding and is an absolutely incredible cook! The food is so healthy and delicious. The work hours is super reasonable, no early morning starts, lunch breaks, very laid back and enjoyable. The work itself is also reasonable, very manageable and easy, you are mostly working outdoors and I had no previous gardening experience so I learnt a lot, which was great!

It was a great experience, since it had several tools in its favor, highlighting patience to coordinate actions in another language and flexibility in unexpected situations.
