Want to be out of the rat race, maybe on a beautiful island with beaches, walks, kayaking, biking etc all available and all for free BUT still only just over 1/2 hour from downtown Auckland? Then our place is for you,we are a Bed and Breakfast Eco accommodation. What we need is some help around the place, the work required includes getting the gardens ready for planting, weeding and clearing exhisting garden, landscaping(heavy work), cleaning the gutters out (dirty work) plus anything else we may come across in the mean time. This position ideally suits a couple travelling together as we don't accept single travellers. The deal is 2 hours work per day per person for accommodation only. Your accommodation is a small but cosy bush cabin comprising of a double bed, table and chairs plus tv and dvd player and radio. It is clean, dry and warm but is away from the main house We do have guest kitchen so self catering is not a problem but we do ask that you leave it (and the bathrooms) as clean as you find them. We ask for 2 hours work per day per person starting at 10am and finishing at 12 noon as part of the job may entail the cleaning of the guest accomodation and this must be done at this time as our check out time is 10am, we also have heaps of gardening work and maintenence to be done (this is pretty dirty work, please come prepared this must be done even if it is raining). We recommend stays of 1 to 2 weeks as we feel this is a good time to allow to explore the island and chill out on Waiheke before your next stop.

My husband and I went into our first workaway in a far off land with open minds and no idea what to expect. Now that we're (reluctantly) packing our bags to leave Waiheke Island, we can only hope our gracious hosts enjoyed this experience as much as we did!
Dave and Sue are juggling a couple of great family businesses here, and doing it very well more

Thanks Dave and Sue for inviting us into your home! We had a great time meeting your family and friends and experiencing the island. We highly recommend this to other potential workawayers.
PS - we got tickets to the Rugby World Cup opener. Hopefully we can meet up before or after the game for a beer!
