Having Sophie stay with us was just fantastic. As a trained early childhood teacher she was such a treasure to have looking after my kids. They loved the games, the crafts, the obstacle courses, everything. Sophie also helped in the household and cooked our family meals - so yum! She sees what needs doing in the house and with the kids and does

The time with Janka, Hamish and the girls was so great! I already miss them and I look forward to hopefully seeing you again in Germany. ❤️
I really enjoyed doing activities with the girls like playing, crafting, baking/cooking.... The work in the garden and painting was very easy and relaxing also the cooking in the evenings.

I really enjoyed my stay with Janka, Hamish and the lovely girls. They are kind and great people. I spent Christmas with them and felt really home and welcome. The work was flexible and fair. I also had the chance to stay with them for a view days in their amazing beachhouse. I will never forget that incredible view and the surf and yoga sessions

I can more then recommend them!
Thanks for everything! :-)Vom Host für Workawayer (Nina)
We loved having Nina stay with us for just over a week over Christmas. She was a big help in the household and our 3 kids loved hanging out with her, doing yoga, board games and Lego.
Nina sees what needs doing and does it. She likes to socialise but also likes her own space in the evenings, which worked well for us. I highly recommend Nina as

We enjoyed Sophie and Inga staying with us for 2 weeks. We had lovely dinner conversations, our kids loved their company and our dog enjoyed many walks with Sophie and Inga. They did all their jobs very thoroughly - I can only reccomment Inga and Sophie as workawayers!

Our time with you was wonderful and we immediately felt at home. You are a really warm family.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Maria)
Maria stayed with us for a week and we simply loved having her around. She was like a big sister to my three little girls who adored her. Maria has lots of patience with kids and is just great looking after little poeple. She is fun, kind and chatty, which makes it very easy to get along with her and it felt like she was part of the family from

Maria sees what needs to be done and was a great help in the house. She understood all the jobs around the house and garden without much explanation and was very efficient and thorough in completing the jobs.
We'll miss the card game nights and chats with her! Anybody who will have Maria as a workawayer can consider them very lucky.

Amelie and Niklas stayed with us for two weeks and the garden and our windows are now in tip top shape. Our three kids loved doing crafts with Amelie and watching Niklas doing magic card tricks (and me too!).
It was really nice having Amelie and Niklas with us!

We stayed with Janka, Hamish, Lotta, Pia, Pheline and Peaches for two weeks and we loved it. They really made us feel part of the family and offered us to join all of their family activities. Janka and Hamish also really helped us to get to places like Napier, Hastings or Waimarama Beach next to their beach house. But as much as we loved exploring

We loved the week with Sarah. She fitted in well in our busy family life and we all enjoyed her joining our everyday activities. The kids loved spending time with Sarah - being a Kindergarden teacher she has lots of patience and fun games up her sleeve.
Sarah was a great help with the kids and doing household jobs. We are missing her already and

what a lovely family. I very enjoyed my stay at Janka and Hamish's Home. From the first time they gave me a very welcoming feeling. The girls are so gorgeous. I liked to spend time with them. They are very friendly, helpful and we had a lot of fun together.

We stayed with Janka, Hamish and their two girls for almost 2 weeks and loved it. The work was very fair and fun. We were treated with the best food from Janka and we had a beautiful sleeping room. They both are so grateful for every little help and we felt big trust in us. We miss them- especially the girls- very much and are very thankful for

Lisa and Gesche stayed with us for 2 weeks and we loved having them around. Our two kids loved hanging out with them and no job was too hard for Lisa and Gesche. They cut back our flaxes, did a lot of weeding, oiled our outdoor furniture and did everything with great care and dedication. They are very easy to have around, we are missing them

We had a fantastic week with Lea and her friend Gesche. They are very friendly, polite, tidy and hard-working girls. You wouldn't think they have only just left high school because they are very independent and mature for their age. Our kids loved playing with them, Hamish and I enjoyed their company, too, and our place is spotless thanks to their

My friend and I stayed with Hamish, Janka, Lotta and Pia for one week. They are an absolutely adorable family and we felt very comfortable all the time. The work is very fair and we were very flexible with the working hours. We also had an amazing BBQ and got to know the rest of their huge family. It was also super interesting to see how their

Furthermore their place is just beautiful! We enjoyed waking up with a stunning view to the Te Mata peak every morning. In addition playing with the kids was so much fun! They are so lovely. Sadly the time here went by so fast. We definitely had a great time here and wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Maxime and Jonas were our first workawayers and we couldn't have hoped for for a better experience. They are an extremely friendly, helpful, hard working a easy going couple and both our kids just loved them. Maxime and Jonas don't need much explanation of the jobs but they see what needs doing and get right into it - and what they do they do

The word "excellent" is really not enough to describe what an amazing time we had with Janka, Hamish, Lotta and Pia. The bedroom had a beautiful view and a supercomfy bed, the food was great, and the work was fun and varied. It never felt like working, it felt much more like helping out friends with tasks around the house or garden. What really

Jonas went mountainbiking with Hamish, we both loved playing with the two girls and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere during the evenings. They gave us heaps of advice on where to go or what to see in the area. Our absolute highlight was when they invited us to join their family get-togethers over Christmas! We could go on forever, but we just want to say: we really felt like home, thank you so much, Janka & Hamish! We would be happy to see you again in Sardinia, Munich or anywhere else back in Europe! :-)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
