Help with horse riding lessons and outdoor forest rides

It is a worthy experience if you like the camping want to have contact with the animals. I worked mainly in the Bar/ Restaurant, the restaurant can be really busy mainly during high season, but the staffs and guests were friendly, and the girls in the apartment were good company. Also, Naduah was flexible with the schedule and patient when finding solutions. However, there are some points that could be improved, the apartment is small for 7 people people and was quite messy and dirty making the routine challeging. Also, Nadia's husband was often incensable of volunteers.

I'm leaving with great memories but also some challenges. The farm work, especially with horses, is long and demanding, so free time is limited. Living with seven girls in a small apartment can be tough and often messy despite everyone's efforts. Food is usually enough but sometimes left out too long, which can feel unsanitary. People are mostly kind and helpful, though I was often corrected and reprimanded after mistakes. Come with an open mind and you'll leave with great memories and friendships, ready for both the highs and the lows.

I worked as an au pair and here's some quick notes for any future au pairs for Maya and Dayo: * You really need to know some Dutch to do the job effectively * It took three weeks of hard work for them to adjust to my presence and not to see me as an invasive stranger * But also keep it mind that it also takes time for you to get to know the kids In addition to taking care of the kids, I also had to do housekeeping and sanitary, so you won't be spending all your hours with the kids. If you don't mind the mess, the apartment is quite good. But the BEST time was spent with the girls playing!

I arrived at the volunteer program with enthusiasm, but the experience wasn't what I expected. Communication was confusing, and at times I felt unappreciated. There was a lack of clarity and better organization was needed. I share this with a constructive spirit, hoping it helps improve the experience for future volunteers. The project has potential, and with a few adjustments, it can offer a more welcoming and enriching environment for everyone.

The farm is truly beautiful, fully immersed in nature. I met wonderful people there and had the chance to work closely with horses, which was a special experience for me. While some things were a bit unclear at the beginning, everything went more smoothly after the first week. Overall, I'm grateful for the time spent there and would recommend it to open-minded people who love animals and rural life!!

I absolutely loved my experience! All the people here were so kind and I loved being around everyone. The work was good and the hosts were really flexible with it. Another Highlight were all the different sweet animals, the horses we were working with and the cats in the apartment. I would recommend this place to everyone and also definitely would come back 🫶🫶

I had an amazing time at the farm! Naduah, Martijn and everyone working at the farm were so nice and welcoming! The work was absolutely adequate and the schedule was always flexible if we needed some time off! In our free time we could go wherever we wanted and if we asked we could take the ponies for a ride in the forest or in the arena! 💞 I feel like you have to be independent at arrival and ask if you don't know something. But once I got settled in, the apartment really felt like a second home to me! I will miss the camping the girls I met there 💓

Amazing! This place left a mark on my heart and I hope it does to yours as well. <3 The host, Naduah went out of her way to help volunteers and was so supportive and fun to be around. The cats that live in the apartment are the best cats in the world! If you're an animal lover that doesn't mind hard work, is good working on a team (and loves it!!), wants to disconnect and be among nature (the forest trails are incredible) and wants to feel like you're at a big sleepover every night, do apply. You can ride horses when they're available, borrow a bike to go to town, and swim in the lakes.

This was my first volunteering experience with worldpackers and I loved it. The host family and all the other people on the farm were really nice and friendly. I also liked Naduahs flexibility with the shifts. I've learned so much during this month and would highly recommend this place!

Naduah and her family are extremely kind and welcoming, and I grew very fond of them during the two months I spent on the farm. It was an incredible experience being immersed in nature, surrounded by animals and such generous people. Naduah's flexibility with the shifts and work made everything feel lighter and more relaxed. She also joined us for some shifts, always very patient, friendly, and kind. I highly recommend this experience and hope to return one day!
