Gaye is a wonderful host, easygoing, full of life and an extraordinary woman all around! Also an amazing cook. Got to meet lots of locals and see local events. The work/hours asked of you are also very flexible.

Gaye is a wonderful, powerful & lovely lady, who is always concerned about everyone's well-being & always prepared fantastic, healthy food. I had a lovely time with her, weeding her garden, helping her volunteer in the off-shop & in return she gave me an insight into life in Katherine as well as Pine Creek, where we spent the weekend on her enchanting property in the bush. She took me to the cinema & we celebrated International Women's Day in good company. She gave me a contact in MEL & managed that I can stay with her daughter in SYD♡! A great experience that nobody can take away from me♡!

Had a great time at Gaye's. She is a really impressive lady and good cook with no issues to adapt to me being a vegetarian. The work was mostly weeding so I was really glad I had another girl working there with me which let the time pass a lot faster. Hours weren't exactly fitting at all times and it was only one day off per week, but a part from that I had a great experience:)

Gaye is a lovely host. I spend two weeks at her place in Katherine together with a girl from Germany. We did a lot of work in the garden and we helped out in the op shop where Gaye works as a volunteer. Gaye took us to some events in Katherine which was really nice! Also the food she makes is great and there is a really cute dog Dolly :) Thank you for having me Gaye!

My time with Gaye was wonderful. I felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveller. Gaye's homestay helped me feel connected to nature and the beautiful environment in the Northern Territory. I would absolutely recommend fellow travellers to this stay. Be prepared for lots of sunshine, delicious homely food and good fun!!

Gaye is amazing! I got the chance to spend time at both the Katherine property and Pine Creek. Gaye was welcoming and kind! It was about 4 hours of different jobs in the morning then lounging by the pool or going for a walk for the rest of the day. Gaye made delicious food and kept everything satisfying and healthy. Such a wonderful experience and learned a lot about nature and had the chance to attend many local events!

Gaye is a wonderful host who immediately made me feel welcome. The tasks were varied and rewarding and she was more than happy to share her skills and stories and included me in all the town life around Katherine and Pine Creek. The food was delicious and I had plenty of time to explore or relax in the surrounding nature. Thanks for such a lovely experience in the Territory !

I absolutely loved staying with Gaye at Green Valley! Her cooking was amazing every day. The housing was cozy and isolated from the rest of the farm which was lovely to have your own space. Just get used to seeing spiders! Her dog Dolly is an absolute cutie. I can't recommend coming to stay there enough!

I was lucky enough to stay with Gaye over Christmas and New Years. She took me with her to meet her family and made sure to include me in every activity possible. Outside of the holidays she also took me swimming with her friends and made sure that I met so many different people. The work was physical but not too hard and she always made sure that I was okay with what I was doing, drank enough water and took breaks. The food at her place was also amazing Gaye is a great cook and I truly enjoyed every meal she provided. And all of the food was very healthy and filling.

I spent a week at both of her properties doing tasks such as rock removal, light gardening, tidy/sorting, raking leaves, and other tasks. You were definitely busy but she made sure to give you breaks. I do wish I had one complete day off to recover instead of working every day, but the hours did add up to a little over 25 for the week so it balanced out. She also took me into Katherine a few times to community events which was fun. Food was great & tasty! One thing- if you have a major frog phobia like me, just know there are a LOT that hop around so just think if you can truly endure them!
