What a great place, Michael and Anu make you feel right at home. While helping at the host you'll never have 2 days the same. It is a great place to learn and experience new things. Michael will also introduce you to his friends and family who all treat you so well. They all welcome you with open arms, have an interest in your life and your stories. The Wilson family treat you as one of their own and are full of recommendations of local activities and places to explore. Anu will cook the most delicious home meals, they will be missed. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

This experience in the host was honestly one of the most amazing to date! Michael and Anu are such kind, thoughtful and honest people who couldn't do enough for you and I really am so grateful I got to meet them. Anu is an amazing cook and we got to learn a lot of skills whilst renovating the host. We were always included in the activities and met some amazing travellers along the way! I would recommend this experience to anyone and can't thank them enough for everything they did for us, we hope to see them again on our travels! :)

Our experience with Michael and Anu has been truly unforgettable! We have learned many new skills, met some amazing people, gained knowledge on Aussie culture and enjoyed the process of renovating the host. When we first arrived Michael helped us get a job in the local town which made us feel a true part of the community. We also were able to visit their holiday home which allowed us to explore to surrounding areas which were so beautiful. We are so grateful for this experience and hope to stay in touch!

Volunteering in the host alongside Michael and Anu was an incredibly memorable experience. Being able to take part in the restoration on the host and getting to learn some new skills will be something I'll cherish forever. The genuine warmth made me feel like I was apart of their extended family from the beginning. Anu's cooking is incredible and made my stay there that much more enjoyable. Spending time with the other travellers, their loving family, and friendly locals really made the experience amazing as everyone was so kind and welcoming.I'd recommend this experience to anyone.

Staying with Michael and Anu was absolutely lovely!! I had lots of fun with the hole family, they are incredibly friendly, good to talk to and all around fabulous people. The work was really interesting and I learned a lot of new things such as plumbing and tiling which was really great. Be warned you'll definitely fall in love with the amazing home cooked meals Anu is making, and it's hard to switch back to hostel cooked meals. This was my first Worldpacker experience and I couldn't have imagined a better one!!! I'll definitely recommend working here and hope I return as well some day :))
