That was a great experience with Les and Mandy! They are so considerate and have patience to explain the tasks. I mainly worked with Les and helped in the garden and with the apiary construction. The rooms are comfy and the food, delicious!

We had a great stay at the guest house, mainly because Les and Mandy are nice hosts. They were always concerned about our wellbeing, and the food was delicious! There, we worked in the garden, repairing and social media, with tools and training provided by them.

Amanda picked me up from the bus station with a very warm welcome. The first evening I spent my time getting to know the other volunteers and having a look around. the guest house are a paradise of nature peace and calmness. I slept in a very cozy big room with a fireplace. The work was partially housekeeping tasked in doors and a few different tasks outside in the guest house. Amanda and Less made me feel very welcome and at home. I felt comfortable to ask any question I had on my mind and I got help and support from them. It was a lovely experience and I enjoyed it a lot.

The guest house is so enchanting...If you need some time to relax and breath a fresh air this place is for you. Amanda and Liz were an amazing hosts and the homecook meals were absolutely a delight. You will be doing housekeeping, gardening and other tasks like painting ( depends what is needed in the garden)you must be flexible to fit in . It would be nice if the schedule will be given in advance like start/end time of work , time for morning/afternoon break and lunch time so it will be clear for both parties. The garden is 15/20'min drive from the city. Thank you the guest house!

Kristine is pleasant to work with and can be recommended. Unfortunately she did not have the correct clothes and footwear for the cold weather.
