Sandie and Joe have created a beautiful place and I feel so lucky to have had a hand in their progress! It was a once-in-a lifetime experience to learn from their experience in the whiskey industry and live where the magic happens. the home is a safe place where pademelons and echidnas roam, fresh raspberries grow in the garden to snack on during breaks, and the sunsets on the face of Mt. Roland are breathtaking. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Endless thanks to Sandie and Joe - the absolute greatest people.

This was the best volunteering place I have ever been to! Sandie and Joe are the kindest hosts ever and they made me feel at home 😍 The accommodation is great too and they are very patient and like to teach you new skills :) They were very flexible and made it very open to me with which tasks I would like to help most (garden, painting, etc.). I loved it!!

Lynn, you were an absolute joy to host and you really do have a ‘Ms Sunshine” attitude to life and its tasks.
I still believe you would make a sensational Chancellor!
See you one day soon.
