Thank you so much Mary for welcoming us into your home and community. It was so much fun getting to talk about Maori culture and spend time in your beautiful little house on the hill. From horseback riding to fishing in the bay it was such a memorable experience. I was lucky enough to get to paint some native birds on the wall and see them in… read more

We had a wonderful time with Mary. She was very welcoming and it was a joy to spend time with her and hear her stories. The help was mostly in the garden and we enjoyed completing it - especially creating the veg & herb garden. Mary cooked us lots of great meals & her home is very lovely to stay in. I would recommend to anyone :) thank you Mary!

I had a great week at Mary's house. Mary is a very funny person and always has good stories to tell. Every evening you are treated to a delicious meal and she knows how to reward you if she has enjoyed your work. The setting is incredible, a 360° view of nature, mountains and land. Thank you Mary for this week of sharing and exchange.
