The place is beautiful and surrounded by nature, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities. The tasks are simple, and the agreed working hours are respected. The volunteer accommodation could be improved a little. On the positive side, the hosts are kind, respectful, and communicative, which makes the overall experience very pleasant. All in all, I would recommend this experience, especially to those who enjoy nature. Thanks! 😊

My experience was really positive! I had a great time during my stay, learned new things, and enjoyed getting to know the place and the people. The experience was a great opportunity to exchange cultures, gain new experiences, and grow personally. Thank you for welcoming me and for this opportunity! I would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers. 😊

Marie and Yolina are some of the nicest people, and Haus Kärnten is the cutest place. The work is not bad at all. I was doing housekeeping and typically worked from 10 to about 12:30 -- cleaning about 5 rooms a day. In the afternoon, we are free to do whatever, but there is a nice lake nearby and lots of hiking. Would definitely recommend this experience!

I absolutely loved my time at the guest house. I spent three weeks in September and was welcomed so generously into Marie's, Yolina's and Venko's home. They are so kind and make you feel like a valued member of the team. Even got to attend a motorbike festival with them and a family dinner ❤️ It's easy work to complete after such a wonderful brekky and help is on hand should you need. Afternoons are yours to enjoy by bike, foot or paddle board on the lake. I feel so refreshed after such a peaceful and happy three weeks with everyone. Hope to visit again or welcome you all to Brisbane! Vielen dank

I had the best time at the guest house! Marie and her family are incredibly kind people. They are fun, easy going, very generous, and were always available if anything came up. The work was straightforward and I had a lot of down time to explore the beautiful area. 10/10 would recommend and I really hope to return one day!!
