General help at home, helping in the garden

New Zealand

Had a truly wonderful time at Tenderden the farm. It was my first time volunteering with worldpackers and Simon and Eileen were so welcoming, generous and kind, with great senses of humour! I felt very taken care of. They were very adaptable to my needs relating to injury, also doing things like very kindly altering work schedules so I could do some sightseeing in more ideal weather! I thoroughly enjoyed helping out in their lovely garden, and spending time with them in general.

Staying with Simon and Eileen was a wonderful decision. We came with the mission of helping out at the charity dinner that was going to be held at Christmas. Simon, who was the organizer, was very clear in each task he gave us, always willing to answer questions in a very friendly way ❤️ They were always concerned that we had a good experience and for that we will always be grateful. I hope we can see each other again 🥰

Simon and Eileen are really kind. Eileen has a great sense of humor and Simon is always open to answer any questions if the task is not clear. The tasks are very varied and the weekly time is respected. We really enjoyed our time there. The place is very cozy and Ullapool is a must-visit place if you want to experience Scottish culture. I hope to see you again Simon and Eileen!

I had an amazing time staying with Simon and Eileen! They were very welcoming and made me feel at home in Ullapool. The hours and tasks clear and easy to understand. I also got to try different things, like painting, gardening, apple picking, and housekeeping. In addition, Ullapool is such a scenic place and also had lots of events and live music to see :)

Fernanda left a good 'feeling' where ever she went. She worked hard, effectively and picked skills up really quickly.
Socially , a very nice person to be with. Here in the village several people have sent their regards and asked if she would be coming back.
Scoring a 10 out of 10 from us.

Holly, Rory and Kitty were the best hosts I could ask for. They were very kind, respectful and worried if I was happy with everything, with food, activities, bed, room, company, the tasks...I'm very grateful about this awesome experience, they became real friends now. I recommend this place for everyone that has a good heart, cause this family is special and deserve good volunteers around! Thanks for everything!

Simon and Eileen were wonderful hosts. They were always thoughtful and welcoming, eager to help with any queries. The work was always reasonable and clear. I had a great time in ullapool. I learned multiple skills that will be useful, I hope, in the future. Doing garden chores, cleaning and minor construction worked with clear instructions made everything easier! Besides, they are always eager to exchange their experiences with the volunteers, which translated in really interesting conversations

I was very happy in my time in Ullapool! Simon and Eileen are great hosts with big hearts that made me feel as part of their family. Working in the garden was gratifying and I learned a lot of new skills. Simon is a great leader, always sharing his knowledge and explaining in detail what is required. I also enjoyed very much the conversations with Eileen and Simon when they invited me to lunch or supper. They also had great suggestions of activities I could attend in my free time. The whole experience was healing and inspiring. Thank you for everything I hope to come back very soon.

We were welcomed during winter time with Eileen and Simon! They were always really kind to us! When the weather was good, I did some work ouside with Simon help, he always explained me properly how to do all the things If we had any question we could always go and ask again! Simon's daughter took us hiking one day and everyone were nice to us and gave us advice on where to go! Simon got us tickets to see a DJ from Glasgow in Ullapool even if they were sold out which was really nice! We shared some time together talking about life and many places where they have lived! Awesome time :)

We had an awesome experience staying with Simon and Eileen! They were always really kind with us, we enjoyed many suppers and good chats with both of them! We went to Ullapool for a month during winter time and we got to meet their family, all of them are really nice people! Simon took us to see and hike around a waterfall and gave us good advice of what to do or places to visit. Simon was always really clear on the activities, flexible with schedules and time off; and the daily environment was peaceful and enjoyable! Go with them and you will not regret it at all! It is totally worth!
