This was definetly an unique experience! I slept in a shipping container next to geese and cooked outside with my daily companions: the flies. My daily task was to cut grass for the super adorable donkeys but that wasn't the only task. There's always something to do on the farm therefore it never gets boring and you won't get sick of monotone work (I even learned how to groom dogs). I enjoyed being surrounded by so many sweet animals (bunnies, cats, the donkeys etc.) and always being outside. After work you can use the pool or discover the area around & go to the farm :)

My experience was very short as I left on the same day I arrived. In my opinion it might of worked out if I would have had a different room. Although I was honest and said that the room that I was put in I couldn't stay due to many reasons, the host didn't really help me with that problem. The animal situation is in my opinion in some cases difficult. I do think that the host is trying her best. It just didn't work out for me.

Sorry, Tami! I’m so used to outback and outdoor life that I sometimes forget it’s not for everyone. We've improved our screening process to ensure that applicants fully understand what to expect before arriving.

We truly love our native animals here, especially the frogs and geckos—they’re an essential part of our environment and a joy to have around! 🐸🦎

Wishing you all the best!

Despite the 2 star review, I enjoyed the farm by itself. I stayed for a little over 2 weeks and was mainly responsible for pulling gras out of the ground, and cutting bamboo/bananas. It's exhausting work but reasonable for farm work. Others, who stayed longer, had significantly more contact with animals. I stayed in both a shipping container (cyclone safe, not rain proof) and a room with a talking parrot. Both spaces were reasonably clean and insect-proof. My problem lay with the host who did not communicate clearly and never seemed to answer a concrete question.

Staying at this farm was unforgettable. Surrounded by nature, it's perfect for disconnecting and enjoying a peaceful environment. The variety of animals is fascinating, and tasks like caring for them and helping with cleaning offered valuable insights into rural life. The host was kind, and the shared experience with other volunteers was enriching. Though the farm is remote, it adds to the sense of adventure. Ideal for those seeking simplicity and a connection with nature.
