This was my first experience with worldpacker. I was very well received by Simona and Josip, they made us feel at home, willing to take us to see some tourist attractions and even take photos of us with the horses 🫶🏼. The food is WONDERFUL. About work: be prepared for heavy work, most days we help Josip with repairs and construction on the farm. The only thing I could say is that we ended up not spending much time with the horses, probably because of the weather, which didn't help much (because it was winter). But otherwise everything was incredible!!!. I would recommend this experience!

Thank you Fernanda! If it was nicer weather and longer days, we would definitely spend more time with horses. You have a reason to come back ;) Sending hugs and kisses from Croatia!

Beautiful experience. the farm is surrounded by the greenery of a magnificent village. I recommend checking it out on Instagram. Josip, Simona, and Viki are excellent hosts, always available for anything. We learned a lot. I suggest everyone to go there to disconnect from everyday life and return to living in a simple way.

This was our first experience and we felt really welcome. We learned a lot about how a the farm works, the language of horses, local traditions. I enjoyed playing with Viki and Lessie and laughing together. It's definitely for you if you want to live in harmony with nature and reconnect to simple things. We'll miss you 🥰

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. Simona and Joseph were absolutely brilliant hosts. The food was great, especially the homemade pizzas that we would bake every other evening. The work was pretty straightforward and not complicated. I loved working with and learning about the horses. A perfect place for a getaway with it's amazing forests, mountains and tranquillity.

My first experience and it was amazing. I really enjoyed the time spent with the family. Josip has a lot of knowledge about horses and he always has a good story to tell you. He introduced me to real life in Croatia, far from the tourism. I very quickly felt at home. It's a perfect place place to take time for yourself. During my stay I Helped with daily tasks to take care of the horses and we have done several construction and renovation projects. Josip has a lot of projects for his the farm and I very excited to return soon to see the progress. I arrived as a stranger, I leave as a friend.

A wonderful experience, Simona and Jossip are both extremely loving and generous people who made my time at the farm truly special. I worked with Jossip to help look after the horses and build some DIY projects around the farm. It was a lot of fun and I'd recommend who has an interest learning more about horses or sustainable living in general. I'll definitely be back!!
