Also if you have building/handyman skills you may be able to earn some money as well as accommodation. There are walking tracks to explore, swimming, snorkelling, diving, surfing and beach combing.

We live on a remote island, generate our own power and live in a very beautiful place. We mainly attract people who want to embrace nature and get away from the big cities for a while. Most people who are here enjoy their stay and go away with new experiences. It is a friendly Island where it is easy to hitch around if you do not have a car.
Arbeit

We have an big rambling garden so there is always gardening to do. Collecting firewood, feeding chickens, helping out on building projects.

I apologize for not doing this sooner. Levi was a fabulous guy to have help. He was willing to do the jobs I couldn't and always had a good attitude. Very self sufficient and embraced the environment. Enjoyed a joke with Malcolm and we loved having him. Hopefully we'll see him again.

I had the pleasure of staying with Malcolm and Robyn for nearly a month at their beautiful property on Great Barrier Island. It was off season so I had the entire backpackers they operate to myself. It was so quiet and peaceful with spectacular ocean views and unparalleled stargazing. My hosts were so excellent and when I left it felt I had known … read more

I had the best two weeks on GBI. Robyn and Malcolm are fantastic and welcoming hosts. They have a beautiful garden and homey backpackers. Incredible location - was only a 5 min walk to a beautiful sandy beach. I was heartbroken to leave this very special place, it is paradise. Huge thank you to Robyn and Malcolm for being a large part of why I … read more

I was delighted to stay with Robyn and Malcolm for 9 days to help with the laundry and feed the ducks and chickens. The place was very pleasant with a lush garden. And my hosts were the kindest. I'm blessed to have been able to stay here, while still being able to enjoy the island. I recommend it 100%. Thanks again :)

We had a wonderful week at Robyn and Malcolm’s place. We felt really welcomed. It is a small hostel with a very beautiful garden and ocean view from the outside breakfast table. The work was easy. Most we enjoyed the Medlands Beach. It is five Minutes to walk and has fantastic waves . We could use bodyboards from Robyn and Malcolm… :)
Thank you!

I had a wonderful stay on Great Barrier Island!
The island is wonderful and the backpackers is very close to a beautiful beach. Robyn was very welcoming and accomodating with work, I could work later depending on the weather or my plans for the day. Robyn and Malcom gave us some advice, lend us surf boards, invited us to share their Christmas … read more

I had a beautiful time on Great Barrier staying in Medlands. The area is central on the island and has beautiful Medlands beach just across the road. Robyn was great with communication and the work was often active (but not strenuous) and varied as we’d do something slightly different each day mostly in the garden or on rainy days cleaning work in … read more

I had the best time working for Robyn and Malcolm on great barrier island. Robyn does her best to make you feel at home and is very friendly and willing to help with anything. Work was very relaxed. On hard working days in the garden we sometimes got off work early and more time to explore the beautiful Island. The beach is just a 5 minute walk … read more
