I really enjoyed my time with Indra and her family! Our tasks included weeding brambles, picking and cutting fruit, and dismantling garden beds. The hours were very well respected and food was nutritious. The caravan has a toilet but, showers and running water were inside the house. Indra was warm and welcoming, even taking us to her second home on Dursey island! She is extremely knowledgeable and taught us lots about Irish history and traditional land use/cultivation. Indra was super flexible when my friend became ill and helped us navigate the Irish healthcare system. Thanks again Indra!

The camping was such an amazing experience. Indra was a wonderful host and has a wonderful family. The facilities were great, with a private caravan (note no running water) but it had power/gas cooking stove/utensils and a heater. I unfortunately had a medical emergency that required a visit to the ER in Cork and Indra was very, very accommodating for me and I was so grateful. Indra cooks amazing food (including fresh from her own garden!), is so lovely to talk to and is very fair with working hours and tasks. I couldn't have asked for a better host and experience.

My experience here was honestly great. The accommodation was one of my favorite parts, as i got to stay in my own private trailer, which is perfect if you enjoy camping but still want your own personal space and boundaries, i was able to cook, sleep and live comfortably on my own. The workload was very light, and i liked that the work takes were random and different everyday. I'd definitely recommend this experience, especially if you enjoy having a balance between social time and your own private space.
