So happy this was my first Worldpackers experience! Faye was very welcoming and kind to me :) Most of my work was pulling weeds and it was nice to be outside in the sunshine. The place and nearby town was pretty quiet but there were lots of nice walks to do. Very beautiful scenery🤗

I had a great experience volunteering at the home. Faye was an amazing host, very warm and welcoming. Tasks were well-explained, and working hours were respected. I definitely recommend it!

I had a great experience at the home and highly recommend! Everything was as expected work-wise. I started work in the morning, but I could have started later if I wanted to. Hours were flexible as long as I worked at least four hours a day. The accommodation was also really nice and the food tasted great. But the best part about the experience were the other volunteers and all the free time we got go spend together.

I had a wonderful time at the home, I got to do lots of different work like laying floor tiles, gardening, installing rose arches for the garden and demolition of old structures. You will work hard, but Faye is organized so you always know what to work on and expectations are clear which makes it very satisfying. the home is located in a quiet peaceful rural environment, and i found such a nice little community of other travelers working at the home along with faye and her family who are very welcoming. This was my first Worldpackers stay and it was a great choice :)

We really enjoyed this Worldpackers experience and felt very welcomed by Faye into her family. The work tasks were well structured with clear instructions that were easy to follow. The bikes and game room were great at fostering community, and we enjoyed the nightly family dinners. The property was very nice and the dogs were so friendly! Highly recommend!
