My partner and I had a fantastic two weeks at the shelter on Jana's amazing property. It was the perfect first Worldpackers experience for us. The house, facilitates and rooms were great (even better than we were expecting). The work was varied and fulfilling, ranging from preparing hay for the donkeys, taking care of the cats, joining the shelter walks and even picking olives. We had plenty of time to explore the island and relax, including riding Jana's bikes around the island on our days and afternoons off. It was a great way to slow down and experience local life on Croatia's islands!

My time at Jana's farm was nothing short of extraordinary. From tending to the animals to immersing myself in the local community, this experience truly fostered a connection with nature and left me feeling enriched. Jana's genuine care for the animals was evident in every interaction, and her flexibility in assigning tasks ensured a well-rounded and engaging volunteering experience. The accommodation was simply delightful, with each volunteer having their own cozy space. I wish I could extend my stay, but I carry the memories forever. Jana's farm is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend

Had a great time at the shelter, the donkeys and cats are adorable (especially Queen Lucy and Toto the dog ). Beautiful rooms and property. I felt really at home and will miss the place. Jana is a joy to be around and very inspiring the way she cares for her animals. Will definitely be back!

Janas place might just be heaven on earth. Can't recommend it enough to anyone who are looking for a calm lifestyle close to nature and animals. The work is not hard and quite enjoyable, carrying hay, painting and cleaning up by the donkeys. The view is amazing and it was still warm in October. Jana is a loving and kind superwoman taking care of the whole place herself. A true inspiration and interesting person. The cats were everywhere and all sooo cute. Me and my friend went together and we are both eager to come back. Thank you Jana for this experience <3

My experience at Jana's place has been incredible. This is the perfect place if you want to get in touch with nature and animals and live a slow life. The cats, donkeys (+ Zenna, the pony) and the dog are super sweet and funny, i miss them. Jana is a great host, she's very goodhearted, her house and the rooms are amazing. You work just a little bit in the morning and then you have the whole day to chill and enjoy the beautiful island. I feel super grateful and I absolutely recommend this experience to everyone who loves animals 💗

The other volunteers are very welcoming and helped me learn all of the tasks around the farm! The hours are great, the property is beautiful, and so is Stari Grad. It's about a 40 minute walk into town which isn't too bad and the locals are really nice. I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone.

My time at Jana's was so lovely. Firstly, the place is beautiful. It's in a gorgeous location with nice bedrooms and a nice kitchen which is super refreshing as a backpacker. Jana has such a beautiful connection with her animals and it makes you feel inspired to help. The animals are so cute, I especially loved sharing my room with a rescue kitten and always having animals around. You mostly work early in the morning and have the whole day to yourself to explore Hvar. I really admire Jana's dedication to animals and it made the work not feel like work. I would recommend spending time here.

Volunteering at the shelter farm was a great experience! It was beautiful to see how deeply Jana cares for her animals and the level of commitment she has. I learned a lot and met other wonderful travelers. We volunteered in the morning and got to explore Hvar island after. Highly recommend!

Jana was a great host. Loved every minute staying there. I'd recommend it to any travellers. The work fly's by and then you have the whole day to explore the island. The donkeys are great and it's a lovely facility
