"Everyone of you is so kind and friendly, we really enjoy staying here with you all. We learned a lot about community living, sharing and team work. Especially the cooking and washing dishes together! We also enjoy the yoga session and eating together during dinner." - Doris, Singapore

"I really enjoyed my stay as a WWOOFer. I rarely see people so welcoming. After having some time on other communities, I can say that Bellbunya can be taken as an example. You have so much positive energies. I'm also very impressed about your communication. Your place is great and you are all amazing cooks!" - Kathy
"Thank-you for your warm and enthusiastic welcome. I really enjoyed my stay and was happy to help you as a wwoofer. A community to watch, I reckon, as you seem pretty well sorted in many ways and most importantly you have a great bunch of members." - Rob, UK
"Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. Working together, yoga, dinners, hugs, friends and nature are highlights of the short time we shared. With love, gratitude, awe and inspiration. " Lauren, France 2011
