Awesome work stay! Really nice piece of land, and there is enough work to be done. Nevertheless, you work the agreed hours and nothing more, so that's perfect. Darren is a really nice guy, amazing cook, and will drive you to the train stations if needed. Really nice place, good work, and a friendly host!

Had a wonderful time and volunteering experience with Daren! The work and hours asked of you as very doable and relaxed. Daren is a great guy, who makes you feel welcome the moment you arrive. He was also kind enough to take me out on a boat trip with him which made the experience even better!

Couldn't of asked for a better host! My time at the home was my introduction to Australia and it was a great one. You feel like your really in the jungle at the home but its still only a couple of kilometres to the Tram station and the next stop is a big shopping center, Which Daren was more than happy to take me to multiple times. I will truly miss Daren & his project at the home drive. Great Place, Great bloke!

Had a great time at Daren's! The work was varied, we had so much free time and I was really happy to meet other volunteers. Would really recommend, just keep in mind that it takes you around 30-40 min to the beach with the tram.

I had a great stay at the home drive!! Daz was very welcoming and picked me up from the train station which is what we agreed on. The house was very spacious, me and the other volunteers had our own rooms so we didn't feel on top of each other. Some of the other volunteers would show me the daily tasks but they could all be done in our own time in order to avoid the mid day heat! Then Daz would text us if there were bigger jobs :) The house is a little far from the beach but Daz would sometimes take us or it's a cheap 40 minutes bus. I would definitely recommend, my stay was very smooth!! :)

I apologise that I was under the weather for a portion of your stay. It has been a pleasure to host you, you strived for excellence in any task that was in front of you. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective host
