We had a lovely time at the farm Valley! Natasha is a sweet, busy, and welcoming person, and all of the animals and other backpackers were great company. The work was clear and fun and it felt like we actually made a difference to the farm, animals, and Natasha. You're quite reliant of a car if you want to go to the city as there is no public transport close to the farm (but it's also very nice to stay at the farm and get a break from the outside world😌) Even though, the family was in the middle of moving, and we therefore didn't have any WiFi, we still enjoyed our time here

My stay at Natasha's farm has been exciting from day one! It has been so many fun things to do and see in the area, she has wonderful neighbours and friends around her! She's such a lovely and including person that is really fun to hang out with! My tasks at the farm has had a big variety and I have learnt a lot of new things! I also had my own big bedroom in the garage that was separate from the house, which was really nice with great air conditioning:) Natasha is always on the go, but she always makes time if I need to go to the shop or needs help with other things☺️

Natasha made me feel right at home. Every night I slept well, excited for tomorrow's schedule. For me it meant work mostly in the morning, and the rest of the day off with time for swimming in the pool, going for a scenic drive with wildlife sightings or to check out a local attraction. Mostly I enjoyed my time in nature, with Natasha and with the lovely people surrounding her.
