The Experience

We're looking for volunteers to help set up our home food forest, help with gardening, cleaning, home repairs, building projects, or support for our online business (marketing, content creation, etc.). In exchange, you’ll enjoy a private, self-contained unit with a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and kitchen—with separate access from the main house. A short walk to the train station and surrounded by hiking trails and waterfalls.

Quincy and Krish are a lovely couple and we felt welcome staying with them. It was very rewarding to be able to help them with their needs, specially the creation of a new space for the chicken coop. Great to see that Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner have more space now :) We enjoyed everything about our stay in the home and 100% recommend the experience to other travelers.

We stayed with Krish & Quincy for almost 2 weeks and had a good place for us, with privacy and everything needed during this period. Their property is beautiful and quiet, perfect to relax and do other activities during non-working hours. We also had home made bread and fresh eggs for a good breakfast before our daily duties! We made many different tasks, but the main one was the preparation of the land and assembly of a new and bigger chicken coop, wich was amazing after we finished! I recommend staying with them if you want to relax a bit and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Everything was great, the place, the sights, the work, and Quincy and Krish were excellent hosts. The train station was just a short walk, as well as the shops. Being in the home was an experience we recommend to everyone!

Staying in this the home in the home with Krish & Quincy was a dream! I learned so much about his method of gardening, about different trees and compost methods, weeding, and creating a sustainable way of life. The work was labor intensive but enjoyable, and Quincy made sure that I got to do all the activities around the area that I wanted. They were so kind and hospitable, baked me bread, and took me on a hike. The accommodation was perfect - my own space and kitchen to cook in was a nice break from hostel living. Highly recommend! Thank you Quincy & Krish for a wonderful time :)

This was my first woldpackers experience and I absolutely loved it! Krish and Quincy were so nice and we got along well. You get your own little apartment which I seriously loved, it's well equipped and nicely decorated. The work in the garden was so much fun and Quincy is always open for new ideas and suggestions which is amazing. I got to grab eggs from the chickens every morning and even got a freshly baked bread which was a real dream. On your days off you have a lot of time exploring the home and there's so much to see around Hazelwood which is great! It was amazing!
