We had an amazing time with the Camerons. The work was really laid back and flexible, and Lily made a real attempt to tailor your jobs around what you enjoy/your skills. They were amazing hosts, and even made us fresh bread for when we arrived. We were only there for a short time, but felt we learnt so much about farming, the local area and much more. The Camerons are a very hardworking family, and we feel really honoured that they took the time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge with us. Thank you again for everything.

Great family, very friendly and welcoming. They essentially adopt you! Had great fun learning about the farm and the local area. Would definitely recommend

This is a nice place. The Camerons all keep very busy, but they still made a point of helping me explore my interests and making me feel welcome.

I've already recommended Konik to all my friends. Lily and her family were so welcoming and kind. I felt so comfortable and calm, as if I was staying with family friends. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

I couldn't have imagined a better experience in my 4.5 weeks with Lilly, Fiona and Darren. The three of them are great people and welcomed me with open arms right from the start so that I immediately felt at home. They showed me what Australia has to offer apart from the classic touristy things and I was able to have experiences that I would never have had otherwise and was also fully integrated into the daily routines. I enjoyed every second on the farm and already miss everything. The weeks on the farm and with the Camrons will definitely be one of my highlights in Australia.
