Francoise and Dada were incredible hosts and we are so happy we spent our last few weeks in Aus staying with them. We did varied tasks everyday, the hours were exactly as agreed and it's super easy to get into a routine. Francoise is flexible with the days if you have other things you'd like to do. They were incredibly generous & welcoming (we will miss the kombucha!!!). There's lots of activities in the community you can get involved in, and beautiful nature surrounding the eco village too. If you want a peaceful and wholesome experience in Aus we'd definitely recommend coming. Thank you!!🫶🏼🦜

I had an amazing experience in the volunteer . It was a lot of fun, the hosts created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it felt really special to meet the people from the town and explore the surrounding area. We truly enjoyed the work and the time we spent there.

Thanks Avner, was a pleasure having you both, and my apologies if I mucked up the star ranking, you're 5 stars of course!

Staying at Francoise and Dadas place was an amazing experience. We loved getting to know them and enjoyed the time we had in the eco village. All sorts of activities you can take part in with the community and just a beautiful place all in all.

My time at the eco village was amazing. As a whole the community is very interesting and inspiring. There are frequently community events including yoga classes, meditation groups, concerts, and ping pong. Francoise and Dada were great hosts. They are incredibly kind, caring, good at communication, and a pleasure to converse with. The area is very pretty and within an hour in any direction, there are things to explore including national parks, the Australia zoo and beautiful beaches.

Françoise and Dada are very kind and artistic people. Most days while working in their garden you can hear them making music. They are easygoing, flexible, and easy to communicate with. the eco village is a uniquely wonderful community full of people with a lot of love for the world. Françoise is well connected with the neighbors and has helped me to meet many new people. I highly recommend staying and working with them.
