Really grateful for my 2 months here at the farm. Was a perfect place for me to stay at, especially while I got everything sorted with my WHV when I landed here in Australia. The jobs is really easy if you just listen to the instructions, every week is mostly the same so you will learn more and more the longer you stay there. Your schedule is very flexible as well but you're isolated at the farm if you don't have a car, Warren do rent out a car there if you want to explore the area around or go shopping. I had a pleasant stay here and Natalie made my stay extra special and all the puppies!💓

My trip to Australia started on the farm, and I have to say it was a very pleasant start. Warren and Natalie are super nice and always ready to help. The work is really relaxed, and living together with the other backpackers was amazing. I'm very grateful for this experience and can only recommend going there to everyone. A big highlight was definitely the puppies. Thanks for everything! I'll be back :)

We are a French couple who stayed on this farm for a month. We were able to meet some wonderful people that we will never forget. The work in the community is going relatively well and we are well housed. We were able to pay more attention to English and learn a lot of things we didn't know in a very short time. It was really beneficial for us and we are off on new adventures.
