The experience was amazing. I stayed for a week with my wife, and it was one of the best experiences we've had. The whole family was very kind, and it was truly inspiring to hear them talk about their projects and see how dedicated they are to their work. the lodge is also a beautiful place, where you have the chance to be surrounded by nature. The other volunteers were very friendly and helped us a lot. We're really grateful for the opportunity and would love to return one day

Volunteered at the lodge for a week and it was an amazing experience! The work is varied and rewarding, the Ramsay family is incredibly welcoming, kind and respectful of work hours. The room was super comfortable and well-equipped. The beautiful house, peaceful woodland and all the fauna around made every day special. We enjoyed great conversations, delicious meals, and little adventures in the area. Bring waterproof clothes and insect repellent! This place truly feels like being part of something meaningful. We hope to visit again one day, and recommended this experience to everyone 💚

My partner Michael and I had a great experience at the lodge. Sophie, Louise and Paul were lovely hosts. We also loved meeting Sandra and Stuart who work there, they were really lovely and helped us out a lot. We enjoyed our tasks and were happy to be contributing to a worthwhile cause. It was fascinating to learn about the rewilding project and learn more about the beavers and ponies. We would recommend this experience to others, particularly those who have a passion for the environment and contributing to change.

Kate and Michael were the most incredible help. They were the perfect fit for the tasks (as well as being massively overqualified)! In particular, they carried out a huge amount of fence removal, which has been transformative for us, allowing animals to move more freely across our rewilding project. I really enjoyed hearing about the state of nature, farming and ecological regulation in Australia. They are both really easy going, personable, hard working and highly efficient. Sophie

Had an enjoyable time here with the Ramsay's. Lots of time to spend doing what you want and they're happy to drop you off in nearby towns to get buses and such/go shopping. Would volunteer again!

Avalon was brilliant. Great paint work (properly trained). Really adaptable and hard working and happy with all her tasks (a lot of different things were thrown at her), good fun with the resident 6 year old! Also has a great sense of humour! Hope to see you again, Avalon! Sophie
