It was a perfect first volunteer experience. The property is lovely and you can use all facilities if there aren't any guests at the moment. The work is flexible and totally manageable. Steven is really friendly, appreciates everyones work and always happy to help or answer any questions. I enjoyed my stay there a lot.

This was literally THE best experience!!! Steve is amazing and welcoming and very kind :) all the work was communicated beforehand, it was very flexible and everyone is trusted to do what they need to do. The place is beautiful and a true oasis of calm with all kinds of wildlife hopping around :) what a great way to spend a few months, getting to know the family and other travellers with which I had the best time!!!

If you are looking for nature, calm and relax place, you have to come here ! Steven and Nina are absolutely great, amazing and very kind ; always making sure everything is ok, working hours, living space and just life in general:)
I have been helping with the cleaning for the -big- Airbnb house but also child minding from time to time (they have 2 kids, very energetic and cute) and lots of gardening as well !
There is not much to do around so if you want to go to the city, better have a driving licence -you can use Steven's car- or kindly ask if they can drive you somewhere ;)
Lovely time !
