Informationen
Beschreibung
Hello Wonderful travellers, we have become empty nesters ~ our two children in their 20’s have flown the coupe! We have always enjoyed sharing our space with visitor's, exchange students etc and considered this was a lovely way to continue to host and provide visitors with fabulous kiwi hospitality. We are on a small rural lifestyle only minutes from the best beaches Tauranga has to offer. Lots of gardens, bird life and beautiful sun sets!
We do have two fur babies (Cats)… and chickens … and are surrounded by farms with lots of fabulous farm life.

Vom Workawayer (Lucy) für Host
I absolutely loved my time with Celeste and Craig! I was there for about a week and got to enjoy some delicious food, cuddly cats, plenty of laughs, some gorgeous sunsets, post-dinner card games, and great chats over tea. Celeste and Craig are lovely, kind, funny, and always prepared for a good theme party. I learned so much about Kiwi culture,… read more

We adored sharing our home with Lucy! She has a fantastically cheerful & immensely adventurous spirit and our time socialising was very special! She’s a self starter, well organised worker and not afraid of heavy lifting. Highly recommended hosting Lucy!

What a wonderful week’s exchange we had with the beautiful Rina from the outskirts of Tokyo! Workaway offers more than a network to get help around the home, it provides an opportunity to connect, and immerse in daily life in a new country. This is proven to be one of the best ways to learn a new laungage. Rina was engaged, polite and curious ..… read more

Celeste and Craig treated me like a real family member. They showed me the best of Tauranga and I fell in love with the place thanks to them. Your life is so wonderful and I'm so glad you welcomed me there. My main job was weeding the garden. But you two are so kind and always told me I could take it easy. Their house was so comfortable and I… read more

It was lovely spending time with this beautiful young German couple… Lea is a fabulous baker and they both are very talented in the area of editing and production of the most amazing travel blogs! We really enjoyed them sharing their experiences, new games and company with us! They are well equipped to have fantastic adventures around Aotearoa.

Luke was a fantastic ambassador for his country, and home towns! We so enjoyed his company and his passion to embrace the DIY, kiwi can do attitude (& local slang!)! Tasked with the tough job of removing some flaxes, he has earned bragging rights to forever be known as the “flax slayer”!

Jantje was an absolute delight to host. Quietly stepping up and helping as needed with daily tasks at home, and also tackling projects with gusto. Her genuine commitment to ‘earn her keep’ is testament to her character. What enhanced our exchange was getting to spend time with her off the property as we showed her some of our favourite places. She… read more
