Natasha was incredibly welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the very first moment. Her place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature and so many beautiful animals; horses, goats, parrots, dogs… it truly feels magical. Being right in the middle of the mountains, it's a little piece of heaven. I highly recommend staying here!

Natasha was a welcoming and friendly host who taught me the ropes of farm life. I had no experience with farm work but she was more than willing to teach me about how to look after the animals, use farm equipment and complete everyday farm tasks. The farm is absolutely beautiful in the middle of scenic Victorian hills, with a multitude of wildlife and farm animals. There was plenty of down-time to explore her property which overlooks the valley, and time to spend with her horses and pony's. I would definitely recommend this stay for people looking for a nature-escape.

Natasha is a wonderful woman with a big heart! She has a few horses that are all fun to work with and the job is clear and flexibel. As I had riding experience before, she even gave me lessons which I greatly appreciated! The property is a bit outside, which means you get nature and peace all by yourself, I loved that. There is much wildlife to see and it is all in all such a beautiful place to stay at :)

This place was a home away from home. Natasha slotted me into her family so quickly and everyone was so welcoming. i felt like a 2nd daughter! Natasha took me to SO many beautiful places and introduced me to so many people. Natasha was always there for a chat and if i ever needed anything she would be there to help. The work was super fair and fun you will never be bored there is always something to do here ! i will miss this place like CRAZY! and i will miss zac SO SO much:( i would 100% recommend this place for anyone who wants to slow down their life for a couple weeks!!

Natasha is a very warm, kind and welcoming person. She made me feel like I'm at home from the second I met her. She was very flexible and in spite of having a very tight schedule herself she always had time to talk to me or came up with extra activities. Not to mention that she is a FANTASTIC horse rider and teacher. Wish I could spend more time with her on the farm. Highly recommended!

Bogna was great to have around. So much achieved, despite the weather! The time was too short. I do hope one day we will meet again. Have a fabulous time on your adventure.
