The Experience

Needing an extra hand with gardening,planting, painting, renovations and general tidying of our beautiful property while im busy looking after our baby and dont have as much time to do it all. Day to day will be gardening, pruning trees, cutting firewood, painting reno jobs, waterblasting or helping us process our meat we gather. We have just bought this property so there's lots to do trying to plant more trees and get gardens going.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here. They welcomed me so warmly and made me feel at home from the very first day. Through them, I got to see so many places and experience things I'll never forget. The food was a dream – everything tasted good:). They were unbelievably kind, caring and so so patient. I'm deeply grateful for everything I experienced. I truly couldn't have wished for a better experience!
