The experience could not have been better, the place is perfect if you want to know the Irish culture. Amanda is very friendly, compressible, the best hostess and Oliver is very cute. I would come again a thousand times

I can't recommend this experience enough! Amanda and Oliver are absolutely fantastic. I came in with very little knowledge about renovation work, but Amanda was incredibly patient and took the time to walk me through each task. Once she explained everything, it all felt simple and manageable. I had such a great time and learned so much along the way. Amanda truly makes the place feel like home, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and guidance. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering it!

I had the best time with Amanda and her family in Killarney! Me and my best friend came and stayed a month for our first Worldpackers experience and I wouldn't change it for anything:) Killarney is such a fun/cool town with lots of easy access to nature and \"tourist\" activities:) The work itself was challenging at times but we both learned so many new skills and had a blast. Couldn't recommend it enough!

I had the best experience at Amanda's place, she made me feel very welcomed and at home from the beginning. I had my own privacy, but at the same time she was always open to talk about how my day was going, and gave me advices on what places to visit in Killarney. The work was exactly as discussed beforehand, obviously physical but not too much at all, and she was always very flexible with when I wanted to do my hours. So i'm really grateful for this opportunity, and can advise it to anyone who wants to visit a beautiful place in Ireland, reconnect with nature, and also visit some lovely bars
