I had a great time staying at John's place in the home! The house is beautiful and cozy and the location is great. A really nice place to relax after exploring the Blue Mountains. John is a really warm and kind person, always happy to recommend great spots, answer any questions, or just have a good conversation :) The work was easy and fair. Definitely recommend staying here!

My stay here was amazing! The work mostly included housekeeping and a little gardening and learning how to ride the lawnmower was a lot of fun haha Johnathan is very hospitable and I felt very well looked after :)

I loved staying at John's place! He is the nicest man you will ever meet and we had so much fun hanging out with him! 🤩 He gave us great recommendations of things to do in the area and was so generous! When I got sick during our stay, he made sure that I was well and that I had everything I needed.☺️ Even though he couldn't find much for us to do for work, I enjoyed the work we did. We mostly cleaned.👍 Thank you so much again John and hopefully I'll see you in Sweden soon!🇸🇪

Staying with John has been amazing!! He is such a good, friendly and helpful host. He is always there if you need help with anything or if you just want to have a good chat :)) The house is incredible cozy and the surrounding area is lovely too😍 At our stay here we've mostly been inside working with different cleaning tasks but that depends on what he needs help with. But in general the work was very easy! Thank you so much for having us John🫶🏼 Hope to hear from you when you visit Sweden!!

I had a great time during my stay in the blue mountains! The work was very fair and the house was extremely cosy and nice to live in! John is a fab host who made me feel very welcome straight away and it was great to get to know him over my stay. Would definitely recommend to travellers who are into hiking/being outdoors and looking for a break from fast paced travelling.
