Diego and I spent almost two weeks at Andrew's house and it was a great experience. The working and resting hours were as agreed and the tasks varied, depending on the needs at each day. It was very nice spending time with him and his kids, cooking together, having dinner, playing games, getting warm by the fireplace, chatting and getting to know more about the Australian culture. We are very thankful for sharing these moments with them!

We stayed with Andrew & The Kids for 2 weeks and had our own room during this period. The tasks vary from day to day, depending on what is going on in the house, but most of our work was carrying materials, painting, gardening and organizing the place. We had most meals together, with a lot of good conversation, some Portuguese funny classes and games by the fireplace almost every night. It was a great opportunity to learn about construction projects and the Australian property industry. I recommend this experience if you want to work & like being into a family routine. Muito obrigado, Andrew!

Andrew is a fantastic host, I had an amazing time staying with him, Liam and Annaliese. They are very welcoming and great fun to be around. Andrew has a huge amount of experience in the construction and property industry, and is happy to pass on knowledge so it was great learning from him. He is very organised and takes pride in working efficiently which was impressive to see. On days off we visited local breweries, cafes, did the Newy Parkrun and Andrew kindly gave me use of a bike to explore Newcastle. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I would highly recommend this project to others!

My two-week stay was so much fun and a really fulfilling experience! I had such a great time cooking with his family, going for runs in the park, and learning a lot about carpentry. I was even put in charge of the roof, which gave me a solid foundation in construction—something I'm sure will be useful in my life ahead. Although my English isn't very strong, I really appreciated how patiently everyone guided me. Spending time with your family was truly wonderful, and I can't wait to see you again in Japan!

I want to say thanks to Andrew. I v got a good time at his hole in Newcastle. He is fun and welcoming and the house is very quite. The work was carpentry and I had not much experience but he was very patient with me.

I had a slightly different experience as advertised due to Andrew being away but nevertheless the experience was memorable. Andrew and his family are super lovely and the tasks I undertook were easy to learn but felt valuable. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants to learn tradie skills or just experience Newcastle!

Andrew and his kids are a great family! I felt respected and appreciated for everything I did! He was always very helpful whenever I had questions and always took time to explain things well, and when I didn't understand something never got frustrated! Overall just a chill guy!

I really enjoyed my time with Andrew and his family. They were all wonderful and very respectful. The work was fair and though I was inexperienced with most of it, Andrew found tasks that were better suited to my abilities and was there to assist whenever it was needed. There was also a lot of independence on my days off and I was able to come and go whenever I pleased and really do my own thing which I enjoyed a lot. I'm very grateful for Andrew and his family for giving me this opportunity!

Our stay with Andrew and his kids, Anna and Liam, in Newcastle was amazing. We had the chance to help with a variety of tasks, including construction projects, gardening, household chores, and maintaining the pool. The work was always straightforward, and Andrew was clear with instructions, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident in what we were doing. One of the highlights was the flexibility in the working hours, which allowed us to balance our tasks with exploring Newcastle and the surrounding area. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you Andrew!
