We live about 5 minutes drive from Ōpōtiki township and a couple of minutes away from beautiful Hukawai Beach and the Dune trails where people come from all over the world to cycle and enjoy. We have grown up children and grandchildren scattered about New Zealand.

Vom Workawayer (Annie) für Host

With Gillian and Stephen, I immediately felt at home. My relaxation area was comfortable, and the house is large, welcoming, and very practical for getting everything done. Everything has been designed to make tasks easier: the right tools, good advice, and the time needed to work well with flexible hours! What more could you ask for!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Do & Karen)

Do and Karen were delightful and we really enjoyed the 10 days they spent with us. They tackled any jobs we gave them with a smile and made a great job of everything they did. They also cooked us a typical Peruvian meal one night which we all enjoyed. Good luck for your stay in New Zealand and we hope to meet you again.
