I absolutely loved my time at Natasha's place, I felt right at home and will miss the dogs and the random kangaroos. Natasha is so lovely and very busy but somehow manages to get everything done. I am very happy that I was able to lend a hand. Thank you for looking after me and I hope I can come back someday.

We had a great time at Natasha's place, surrounded by picturesque scenery and amazing wildlife right on your doorstep! We even had the opportunity to meet another traveller helping out at the property which was great and we learnt a lot from each other during our stay. Thanks so much for having us and taking the time to show us around the area!

Natasha's property is a great getaway from the city. Set in a scenic valley with lots of wildlife. There is a never ending list of jobs at the ranch but Natasha is really appreciative of any chores you manage to get done. She took time out of her busy schedule to make sure we got to see some of the surrounding towns and up into the Yarra Valley as a thank you for our hard work which was great. We will miss Zac especially.

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.
