I had a really great time at Belinda's Farm. Being in the Nature and around animals all the time is so beautiful. Even tho you are “working” it doesn't feel like it especially if you like being outside and with animals. It's always fun.

I'm so grateful for the great experience on this farm!! Belinda and Phil are lovely people who made me feel welcome from the first day on. Working here I got to learn lots of new stuff even though I already had years of horse experience. Though you don't need experience with horses you should definitely not be scared of animals and be open to learn! In your time off you can go on walks/hikes, visit the surrounding towns and cities or even take riding lessons!! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves animals and doesn't mind getting dirty. Thank you Belinda&Phil!!

Great experience immersing into life on a horse farm! I had no prior experience with horses but was looked after by the amazing team here and shown the ropes quickly! If you don'tind getting down and dirty and love animals then this is the place to go! You're responsible for feeding all the animals on the farm including horses, pigs, cows, sheep, goats. If you're lucky you get to hand feed some of the new borns! You really get to build a relationship with the horses on the daily feeds, and in the down time get the odd ride in! And the location is unbelievably beautiful!

When I first arrived I felt quite uncomfortable. The room was quite dirty and Belinda didn't say much to me in the morning. The work is what you would expect when feeding that many horses but there are far more than 5 working hours in the day. I felt like I was thrown to the wolves and expected to know what to do. I think the communication on the farm as a whole is poor. If you don't mind the extra hours it is a good spot to gain horse experience if you don't have any. The views around the property are quite nice and there are also a lot of hikes close to the property that are worth going to.

Was a great place to volunteer if you don't mind hard work. Loved the animals and the people were great. Stunning views all around of the glasshouse mountains.
