Mark was a really kind and amicable host. He made us feel really welcome in his home and we really loved getting to know him and taking part in enjoyable discussions. The work was very fair and Mark himself took us to some amazing places. Definitely a memorable experience.

I had an amazing stay at Marks Place! He is a great host, very friendly and caring. He will let you chose between tasks and also gives you amazing options for your days off and shows you around. He even showed me how to do mosaic works, which I really liked. Very lovely experience, would recommend :)

I had a wonderful time staying with Mark, he was an excellent host. The work was fair and he was always making sure I was comfortable with the tasks I was performing and would allow me to choose which tasks I preferred. I also really enjoyed learning all about the different gardening techniques and methods that he uses to be eco friendly and environmentally sustainable. Aside from the work, Mark made sure I had a good time by having movie nights and game nights and by taking me on little adventures to explore the area. Just be aware, there may be some spiders!

Mark and his daughter were very kind and welcoming. His gardens were beautiful and it was really cool seeing and learning about all the native wildlife and plants. Also enjoyed visiting nearby areas.
