Corinne was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. She showed me around, explained projects, and let me choose how to help. I enjoyed removing invasive plants to mulch fruit trees, building terraces to capture water and nutrients, and caring for the chickens. The fresh eggs and well-stocked kitchen were a treat, and my room was spacious and comfortable. There's plenty of time to explore the area, and public transport is within walking distance. A wonderful experience—I highly recommend volunteering here!

I only stayed 3 days unfortunately, wish I would have had more time. Corinne is a very inspiring woman, you will be able to learn a lot about all different sorts of things. the reserve is very cozy as well as the room I was staying in and the food was !DELICIOUS! We celebrated Christmas and played board games, I met many interesting people here. Corinne also took me on a little roadtrip down south - incredible grateful for this experience. My tasks were helping around the house and planting new trees, but I've had enough breaks in between to explore the area and spend some alone time.

I had a short but great stay at the reserve ! The place is full of history, and Corinne is a humble force of nature, full of energy. I met some great people and shared moments with her friends and housemates. Beetle, the dog, will soon become your companion. I spent some rewarding time working in the garden, which I really enjoyed. I mostly got around on foot or by public transport, though a bike was available too. If you enjoy gardening, cooking, lighting fires, sharing with others, board games, music, movies, a friendly dog, and occasional chicken chases, this is the perfect spot for you!

I am incredibly grateful for the time I was able to spend here. the reserve is home to a lovely community: Corinne, Marc, Richard, Paul, as well as the sweet dog, Beetle, and a few chickens. Corinne is an absolutely wonderful, lovable powerwoman who made sure that I got to see as much of Tassie as possible during my short time here. I was always free to take the bike & free to decide when and what I wanted to "work" on – it was very generous, and what I did was really cool, like planting trees, for example. I will truly miss this adorable the reserve and the amazing people here. ♡
