Sabine and Manfred were welcoming hosts, and their home and landscape are truly stunning. The animals are a joy to work with, though you must be confident around large ones. The work environment is strict for safety reasons, and the hosts told us they might yell during stressful or fast-paced moments which is part of the work culture. At times, we were asked to work beyond agreed hours during busy events. Overall its a good experience if you love animals and have handling experience, this can be a rewarding place, but it's not for everyone.

The place is really nice, is a rural area with pine forest and a lot of other farms. The animals are adorable, the camels, the llamas, the goats and cats are just really sweet. I wasnt prepared for the size of the horses, they are REALLY big and this was a lot scary for me. The job consist in handling the animals, which means clean them, their poops and make sure thay have food/water and put them to the fields. We also had a few walkings with the llamas. Not an easy job, but also is not hard. But it can be very demanding on your mind. Good food. Sadly it didnt work out so well for me.

At first, it can be a bit challenging if you're not used to being around animals, but over time you build a beautiful bond with them. The tasks included feeding, grooming, taking the animals in and out of the pens, catching llamas (fun and tricky!), and going on walks with them. The food was delicious. There are forests nearby for walking and bikes available to explore nearby towns. A very special experience—perfect for nature and animals lovers.

Sabine an Manfred welcome you to their house and it feels like your own! They lend you clothes if necessary and the boots for work. It's really cold so I would suggest using thermic clothing and also old ones since you work outside with the animals. Flip flops to be around the house are recommended!! The food is excellent and they are always open to get you to the train station in case you want to visit another city :)

Manfred and Sabine usually always provided a meal they prepared for you. Sometimes you are on your own to cook, which is nice sometimes. It was a nice thing for them to cook the meals and share dinner time together. There were a few time I was insulted for not doing something because I do not normally work around farms, or I was using my own mind to think about my tasks. The animals are amazing. They have unique personalities. Bring slippers and warm clothes in the winter, the house is not heated, unless you heat your own room and don't leave. Don't hit the horses.

I am really shocked about this review. You stayed with us for six weeks, we accepted all your personal differences to us or others and accepted that you did not do all the tasks that we wanted you to do. Well, I guess you need a host who let you do your thing instead of following clear guidelines. But as a host you need to be strict if you have always different people handling your animals. Wishing you and your next host a good experience together.

If you love animals then this is the place to be. I already have experience on a farm but there's always new things to learn. Be prepared for real farm work the tasks are cleaning the animals and feeding them We start in the morning and finish when all our task are done . We always had lunch and dîner together like a big family. Manfred and sabine cooked good meals and meat from the farm. The lamas are adorable and it was a nice experience to go on a walk with them. Be prepared to fall in love with the cats.
