Had a brilliant time on the farm! The food was lovely, and Wayne was incredibly welcoming and a great host. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Wayne is a very warm and welcoming person. He enjoys life and early mornings. He approved us on short notice, cause we were a bit in a pickle. He is a very helpful and generous man, who everyone would be delighted to meet. He taught us great stuff about cattle and life on a farm. His family is kind and warm, all in all, great experience. We will definitely not be a stranger 😊

Wayne is a wonderful host who is kind and hardworking. The meals are delicious and come with great conversation. The camper is cozy and you can use the main house bathroom if you want to take longer showers since the camper uses a limited water tank. Mon-Fri you work 7am-12pm doing a variety of jobs, likely learning new skills along the way. There is limited wifi and reception on the property and no wifi in the camper. Staying in the camper you will hear lots of noise (wind, generators, bird flocks, etc) so I recommend ear plugs for sleeping. Would love to come back!

Had a good time, Wayne was very welcoming and I loved working with the dogs. Work was hard but when the heat got too much for me he let me finish early and was very reasonable. He did make me leave a day early because it was easier for him to drop me off early and I didn't have much of a choice but wasn't too much of an inconvenience

Thanks to Wayne for his welcoming. He was so kind and patient with us. The tasks were very simply and easy to carry out ! It was a wonderful stay. Basically, we had to stay only one week but we extend one more week because we enjoyed so much the host and his farm ! Moreover, thanks to Jenny and Anne for their kindness and our lovely nights conversations. We're gonna miss Zelda and Zeus, the two lovely dogs so much 🥹 Also, we're gonna miss Wayne's cooking !! (Best Australian cooker ever 👌) Thanks again Wayne for our lovely conversations, for your help and for your precious advices.
