My experience with Haiko and Susan was really good they are a really lovely couple and really sweetheart both of them. Haiko has a lot of knowledge about permaculture and interesting life vision so is never boring talk with him. Also he has really good skills in cooking and you will never be disappointing in the dinner he makes. Also he has organic and handmade preparation and you can taste as a BlackBerry and Raspberrie jam , and beutiful eggs from the chicken in his garden. About the work it was really okay, and I didn't feel I was working too much . I recommend this experience

This was my first experience with worldpacker, and it was absolutely amazing. Heiko and Susan were wonderful. There wasn't too much work, and it varied a lot day to day. I had a comfortable room to myself. Heiko is an excellent cook, and so we always ate well. Everyday we took the dog somewhere for a walk, so I was able to see a lot of the surrounding area. It's very beautiful there. Heiko is extremely knowledgeable about the edible plants, and I learned a lot. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience.

I strongly recommend this place. Heiko and Susan are two wonderful people, full of vitality and knowledge about permaculture, willing to share with you as much as you want to learn. It was my 4th volunteering, so I know what Im talking when I say that this place is fantastic... the work is not so much, and they always adapted it to my abilities. Sharing time with them, the dog and the cat was wonderful. Thank you from for receiving me. It was super cool.

Heiko and Susan are absolutely lovely. I stayed in their farm for two weeks looking after the ducks, the chickens and Ted (he's a wonderful cat). The duties were really easy; feed the animals and water the plants. They were abroad during 12 days so I was on my own in the farm, but I spent the two first days with them. We shared interesting chats and tasty food. Heiko passed me on his knowledge about permaculture and he showed me what I had to do.

If you want to learn about foraging and permaculture, Heiko is definitely your guy! We foraged for seaweeds and other things on the shore, as well as in the forest. Heiko cooked really nice food every evening, often using foraged foods, and you get to enjoy free range eggs from their chickens and ducks. I felt very healthy, nourished, and sustainable whilst I lived there,and I have been inspired to take a permaculture course to learn further how to implement this way of life for myself in the future.

Absolutely recommend it. Heiko and Susan are really cute and nice people. They would instantly welcome you as one of them. The chores are easy and doesn't require any previous experience. Do as they tell you and take warm clothes. Lovely and nourish experience.

This volunteer experience was nice. Heiko and susan are kind people. And they have a lovely dog; Finn. Who is very playfull and will cuddle with you all the time. We had some good food in the evening, Heiko lives up to the other reviews, he is a good chef. Sleeping there was good as well, you will have your own private room. But just to give the next volunteer a heads up, the house is not very clean. And if you are not really someone who drinks a lot of alcohol, it can be a bit strange to see them drink a lot of beers everyday. But I did not feel uncomfortble there. Thank you for everything!

Heiko and Susan are the most lovely people I've ever seen. They are open to teach me how to do the work and enjoy the experience. I'll be eternally grateful that they helped me in a really bad moment as I was part of the family. The peninsula is beautiful and the food really good

Heiko and Susan are great people and they made me very welcome in their home. The first night we played guitars. Heiko's songs are amusing and performed with irresistible enthusiasm. They both have a great sense of humour. My job was to house sit and look after their beagle, 'eddie', and geese and ducks. Heiko is very knowledgeable on foraging and has written a book on the subject. Heiko and Susan are very interesting people and great fun. The plot is beautifully private and peaceful, especially at night. Eddie the dog is adorable and I really bonded with him.
