Couldn't really expect better. Peace and activity and connectivity. Respectful disagreement. Clear expectations. Massive freetime & access I hope Luna is still kicking when you are here. Bees (apis mellifera) are on back of property and super active. Sunset couches are in west paddock. The wifi is sometimes spotty, but if anything isn't working right, let Warren/Nat know and it is fixed faster than most contractors. Legit cigarettes are super expensive atm. Wine is the cheapest and Aldi has AUD$10/4L/12%. The hot water in the kitchen is on the right. The JC TV has a built in DVD player on it

Warren and Natalie are super friendly, their dogs are adorable and the farm itself is perfect for people who like the countryside. I definitely recommend this volunteer opportunity

It was great to be involved in the farming work, and to meet the host and his family.
Warren was very patient, taking the time to explain how to grow and care for vegetables.
The other travellers were helpful, supportive and mostly funny.

I definitely recommend this place! Warren and Natalie were very kind hosts, and very accommodating. Plus the bonus of Luna the dog, the best farm dog. The hours are very reasonable, and flexible, accomodation is cozy, and the farm is beautiful with incredible sunsets and lots of wildlife.
The other volunteers on the farm quickly became very close friends, and were each great fun to be around and work alongside. I recommend to anyone that likes laidback rural life to come here!

My time on the farm was truly amazing! Warren and Nathalie are very kind and patiences hosts, always happy to help you with anything you might need to make your stay feel like home. The other people on the farm became like family within a couple of days. I really recommend going here to find friends, enjoy the slow farm life and beautiful sunsets.
