I had the best time helping out Natasha over the 2 weeks of my stay, helping her with tasks such as property maintenance and horse care. She is such a lovely lady and even brought us along to activities during our days off. Would recommend!!

Our time with Natasha was truly incredible. From the moment she picked us up from the train station we felt so welcome! Her property is stunning and we really enjoyed caring for the horses. Working outside and getting to experience the local events was such a treat. Overall a truly wonderful experience!

Amazing time, Natasha is a lovely person passionate about horses ! She makes you feel at ease, even if she's busy she takes time for you. The communication is very efficient, and the place a little paradise. Nothing to say, except go for it :))

Albane was a delight to have as my second in charge. There was a lot going on and so much to organise. We had lots of fun making things run smoothly. The door is always open. It was a pleasure having you! Until next time!

I absolutely loved my time at Natasha’s place, I felt right at home and will miss the dogs and the random kangaroos. Natasha is so lovely and very busy but somehow manages to get everything done. I am very happy that I was able to lend a hand. Thank you for looking after me and I hope I can come back someday.

We had a great time at Natasha's place, surrounded by picturesque scenery and amazing wildlife right on your doorstep! We even had the opportunity to meet another traveller helping out at the property which was great and we learnt a lot from each other during our stay. Thanks so much for having us and taking the time to show us around the area!
