I want to sincerely thank Stu and Will, as they were always very kind and nice to me, and welcomed me so warmly! I had the chance to meet several of their friends and I will fondly remember the moments we spent together. I also got to learn more about gardening and painting while helping them, and taking care of the chickens was especially enjoyable. The place where I stayed is super cozy. We also visited some nearby towns, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. I wish you both lots of success!

It was a good experience. They are smart and kind people who are always open to new ideas and share time. They have nice chickens and a beautiful house. I recommended this experience.

The owners are relaxed and treat you like a friend. They are flexible, they give you the option to make your routine or make plans with them. I arrive when they were in time to be in the house so we share many moments together. I really enjoyed work in the garden, and the company of the haha. They are very close to the town tralee, and also they recommend places to go. Thank you very much by the lovely moments together and share your life with a visitor!

This was our first experience with worldpackers and it was truly above expectations. We had a great time helping out in the garden and hanging out with the chickens. Since it was only 4 hrs a day we had plenty of time to explore Tralee and the surrounding area and the hosts were so helpful with recommending places and driving us to several. The accomodation was great, we had an entire house for ourselves with kitchen and bathroom. Overall we really loved this experience and we got to see something new everyday, we would definitely come back!

I ran out of time to review Elix and Linus who stayed with us for 10 days a few weeks ago. I would recommend both as they were really helpful, polite self motivated and self sufficient guys. They kept the house clean and tidy and did some great work in the garden. Would recommend completely - good luck in your travels guys. Hope to see you again in future
