Roy is very generous and kind. The work was simple and left me with plenty of time to explore the city each day. The property and location is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Staying here was quiet and peaceful. The bus stop is only a 20/ 25 minute walk with a great view and the bus takes you directly to the city centre. This was my first worldpackers experience and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

What a dream experience. This is my first Worldpackers experience and I fear I am spoiled now! The host, Roy, and his partner Tia , are very kind and considerate people. Property itself is stunning with gorgeous views all around & many peaceful nooks & crannies to relax in. I stayed in a beautifully appointed cabin directly across from the main house. It was cozy & serene. The work tasks (housekeeping the Airbnb rooms & clearing the kitchen after guests breakfast) were very easy and didn't take very long. I felt very appreciated & looked after. Thank you Roy & Tia! ♥️ Blessed to know you.

Lovely little Irish getaway 🥹 absolutely wonderful people and animals. I was unfortunately sick through most of it, but Roy was super understanding and never made me feel bad about it. The work and accommodation were also very fair and I enjoyed my stay thoroughly! Thank you Roy, Tia, Roy's mum and her friend Gemma - as well as Tyson and Luna <3 I'll miss waking up to Tyson being the happiest dog all day every day haha. All the best!! x
