My stay at the home was my first experince with worldpackers. It was an amazing one and I really enjoyed it. I discovered a lot about tropical garden. It was a fun day (as Mike used to say) every day. Every morning we spent time in the garden doing different tasks and then I had a lot of free time to be a tourist and discover the Whitsunday region :) Mike is so kind and passionate, I liked talking with him. I would love to see how the trees are growing ! Thank you for this experience.

Mike was very welcoming he wanted us to have the absolute best possible experience and the work we did with him was fun. Just be prepared that If you go in the summer time there will be A LOT of Mosquitos and occasionally some cyclones ;) .

I loved my stay at Cedar Views. Mike is so nice and welcoming and i learned a lot about the work in the garden and how to keep this place nice. Every day was different and i was never bored during the work, time flew by. The room is really nice and after work you have a lot of time to chill or to be a tourist. Mike always drops you off at the busstation and you have the chance to explore. Thank you for this nice experience🌴😊

I loved my stay at Cedar Views. Mike and Tania are very sweet, they welcomed me with great affection. I had a great time with them. Mike is a funny guy and loves doing his work around the house. The work is not difficult, and you learn a lot. Tania is a sweet person, she made some typical Ukrainian foods, she cooks really well. The house is a little far from the center, but Mike was committed to taking me to and picking me up at the bus stop. It was a great first experience.
