I had an amazing time staying with Jo and Andrew! They are very kind and humorous people, and they do their best to make you feel welcome. The work here isn't too difficult and they are very flexible with the hours. While the location is a bit remote, they are willing to drop you off in town on your days off which is really nice if you want to do some exploring. The cottage is gorgeous but it does get a bit chilly at night, so make sure to bring warm lounge/sleeping clothes if you visit in winter!

I had the most amazing time at Candelbark! Jo and Andrew are two of the kindest, most caring, and helpful people I've met during my travels. The cottage is cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The tasks vary depending on what's needed, but they're always different, so you're not stuck doing the same thing every day. Waking up to birds chirping and watching kangaroos every morning while sipping coffee were definitely moments to remember. I'm very grateful for the experience and feel lucky to have met such lovely people. Thank you, Jo and Andrew! I can't wait to come back.

Andrew and Jo are really nice, and the whole family in general. Waking up with kangaroos around me and living in the wilderness has been a very enriching experience. I would definitely go back again. It is a place with a magical energy. Just as Andrew and Jo make it magical. Thank you for welcoming me in such a way.

Jo and Andrew are amazing people that made us feel welcome from when we first met them. The work was fun, and jobs and hours were very flexible, and you could see kangaroos everywhere around the house! Wish we could have stayed longer because of the cozy atmosphere. So far this has been one of our favorite experiences here, we cant wait to come back and spend some time with Jo and Andrew! Thanks a lot!

Was great to have Sofia and Cam stay with us. They both were excellent in the jobs they did especially the eradication of gorse bushes.
They were very dedicated and were a pleasure to host.
We would have no hesitation in recommending them to other hosts. 😊

I had an amazing time at the guest house. Jo and Andrew are wonderful hosts who truly made me feel like part of the family. I loved sharing meals with them, talking about my home country, and sharing music with them. I spent half my time in the RV and half my time in the cottage and despite some unfortunate plumbing issues, both were quite comfortable. The work consisted of maintaining the property by weeding, organizing the tool shed, and the occasional help with cleaning the house. Hours were respected and Jo and Andrew were flexible with my schedule. You'll have a great time here.

It's been a very fulfilling month. The warmness, kindness and laughter that Jo & Andrew shared with me, the lovely little mud brick cottage that has been giving me protection from the horse flies and the sun, the beautiful surroundings, the animals; kangaroos, peacocks, ducks, cockatoos, parrots, ibis, kookaburras, carps, and the cats (Loki I'm gonna miss u buddy). I did a lot of gardening jobs, like digging, raking, leveling the ground, and planting a lot of Agapanthus around the property. We destroyed a caravan, that was real fun. Jo & Andrew kindly gave me lifts to visit surrounding areas

Jo and Andrew are wonderful hosts. They do everything they can to make sure you feel at home (e.g. a nice welcome dinner). We spent two weeks there (good length). Our days were filled with playing, painting, playing guitar, visiting towns and lakes, baking... We stayed in the motorhome, which wasn't as luxurious as the cottage, but it cozy and comfortable. One of the nicest things was getting to meet other volunteers. We would choose this volunteer position again in a heartbeat. So, if you're okay with working five hours a day (except weekends) and being in a remote location, this is the place

Staying with Jo and Andrew was an absolute pleasure. They are the kindest people and do everything in their power to make your stay comfortable. They are very easy to talk to, flexible with the work hours, and fun to be around. They are a true Australian couple and I really enjoyed the experience. Bonus: This is a great stay to immerse yourself in local culture, practice sustainability, and learn about water / energy conservation efforts.

Jo and Andrew are some of the kindest people you could ever meet, and they truly care about making your experience at their property a positive one. They have an 8-acre property that you'll help turn into a beautiful glamping site. Tasks include raking, moving stone and wood, pulling plants, and organizing sheds/tool areas. The work is always within your capabilities, and you can always ask clarifying questions. With 25 hours a week, you have the flexibility to work whenever it best fits your schedule. We'll miss it here!
