I had a wonderful two weeks on the farm! Dave and Kylie were welcoming from the start, with a cozy bedroom and plenty of shared dinner time and TV in the evenings. They went out of their way to take me on local trips to vineyards, breweries, and even their gym, which was such a fun way to explore the area. Tasks were varied, easy, and a great chance to be outdoors. An added bonus were the rascals Rusty, Shadow, and Ollie—playful, loving and hilarious dogs! I had lots of fun and look forward to coming back when I return to Victoria.
