I am currently looking for people that can help with small DIY projects. We live on about 4 acres and there are always things that need building or fixing or painting.

I had a great experience in Lagos! The accommodation was exactly as described, and the host was communicative, supportive, and flexible. I enjoyed the peaceful outdoor atmosphere, animals, and hands-on painting work. The tasks were well balanced, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals and the outdoors. Uber may be needed for transportation, but it's affordable!

I had an absolutely amazing time here! The tent was cozy and facilities were great and close by. I had so many wonderful outdoor showers. Laura is an incredible host, she is kinda and patient and clear with the tasks she asks to be done. I didn't find any of the work to be overwhelming and had a lot of flexibility of when I could do it. The property is beautiful and calming. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Laura is a incredible host and James was very knowledgeable and helpful! They are extremely accommodating and laid back, we felt very safe and welcomed at their home. They provide clear tasks and tailor what you're doing to what you feel comfortable with and have experience in. It's about a 10 minute Uber ride to town typically costing 3-5€. Usually on the lower end if you compare bolt and uber. Their home is in a lovely village located a 2 minute walk from a coffee & beer shop, and a 20 minute walk from a very nice cafe which serves Michelin grade food by our American standards. Love🫶
