The Experience

We have some escaping chickens! Task for this one-off project is to clear a fence line and attach some chicken wire. Pretty straight forward. This is perfect for someone that like to dig in into a project and get things done, completed, signed and delivered! Any extra time, will be spent to improve the chickens coops and watering system.

I really enjoyed my week with Resi and Vinnie! They were both very welcoming and made me feel right at home in their cosy house. I enjoyed lots of delicious food everyday ( tiramisu 😋 ), and my tasks were well organised, getting to da good variety of gardening, farm help, and joining in on hiking with the dogs - all of which I enjoyed! I had plenty of time to explore the local area on my days off, doing a full day of mountain biking and another of hiking in the beautiful surroundings. I would highly recommend staying at the dog house farm!

This is such an incredible experience! Resi & Vince are so welcoming, kind, and willing to share in great conversation and experiences. I learned a lot about dog training and running a small local business in the community. I also had the chance to plant season appropriate crops. The bike ride to town is super straightforward and they are conscious of you having a great experience while working as well as time off. Staying for the full two weeks is great way to get into a routine and build connections. I loved going on all the various hikes with the dogs and getting some quality doggo time.

I had the best time on the Dogfarm! Resi and Vince where the best Hosts and i really enjoyed to be part of the Dogfarm and their Household! It was so great that everything was so well organized and i always knew in advance what i was going to do! To be surrounded by dogs and other animals (goats/gees/cows and chickens) was my favorite but i also enjoyed the gardening work very much and i have learned many new things for which i'm very grateful! I could use their bikes on my days off and explore the beautiful surroundings🥰 I can definitely highly recommend this volunteer experience!

I had so much fun staying with Resi and Vince! They made delicious dinners and went above and beyond to help me have fun experiences on my days off. I enjoyed the work I did, but wouldn't say it's easy. The three fulls days and four rest days made it very manageable, but expect to do good work in those three days. I would definitely recommend this to travelers that are looking to make adventures for themselves in nature and see Australian countryside living.

Resi and Vince where so nice! The house was cozy and they made so yummy dinners! Work was sometimes really tiring but you learned new things through it. The dogs where all fun so it got never boring in the house. And Resi made sure we had free time after fullfilling our working hours. Thank you for having me!
