I had such a great experience with the guys and their puppy. I truly felt how warm and welcoming it is to live with this beautiful family. I learned so much from them. They showed me their lovely town and even introduced me to some locals. I learned a lot and had the chance to practice my English. Actually, I spent some time studying—they had some great spots for focus and concentration. The tucker was delicious! They are excellent cooks. We did some small fixes around the house and collected firewood to prepare for winter. I feel lucky to have had such a valuable experience with them.

We have had the pleasure of Darwin’s company this past month and it has been a delight!
No task requested was too much effort for him and was executed in a positive, enthusiastic manner. Darwin has a wonderful personality and fitted into our routines effortlessly. Our dog Cleo absolutely adores Darwin and has been his constant companion and l believe the feeling is mutual.
Darwin is respectful, curious, enthusiastic and the most pleasant company.
We are sad to say goodbye to Darwin!

I spent the last two weeks of my 4,5 months in Australia with Vicki, Paul and their adorable dog Cleo. It was honestly the best ending of the trip I could have asked for. They are one of the friendliest, most generous people I've meet. They are so welcoming and genuinely gorgeous people. I did easy tasks, mostly mowing on the ride-on (super fun!) and they let me work on my research. Moreover, I spent time by the pool and we had fun together in the atrium. We also shared great meals—I got to try a roast dinner and kangaroo!—and they showed me around in the area. Can't say thanks enough <3

Vicki and Paul were an amazing host. They welcomed me and I felt right at home! The tasks were fun and varied, I got to learn a lot from both Paul and Vicki. Cleo (the dog) is such a cute and lovely dog, so fun to play around with. You can see kangaroos around the backyard too if you're lucky :) Definitely recommended for all travelers who are looking to have a chill, relax, yet productive stay in Australia. Love you, Vicki and Paul! ❤️

We had a great week here with Paul and Vicki. The tasks were fun and varied. We both learned new skills such as mowing grass and using a petrol wippa snippa. They are great advocates for their local area, they made sure that we saw the highlights in our spare time.

We had a great week staying with Vicki, Paul and Cleo. The tasks were fun and varied, with Paul teaching us how to use the tools for jobs in the garden. Vicki and Paul are both great advocates for the local area, encouraging and helping us to see all that is on offer, and also made us feel so welcome to relax in their lovely home. We'd definitely recommend it as a worldpackers experience! :)
