Beschreibung
Kia Ora! I would really love a hand with my home...painting, gardening, fixing stuff or looking after kids while I do those things! I live in Oamaru, 5 minutes walk from the harbour and town. I can offer awesome food, great company, wine and laughs in return.....PLUS...The house to yourself for 1 week if you're staying for 2! I'm completely flexible with hours of work and can possibly offer a longer term situation for someone wishing to stay on and find work locally.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jackson)
Jackson came to our area for 3 days to view the penguins. He played with the children (who adored him) and helped with dishes. Staying in a large family has its challenges and I'm not sure if we were exactly what Jackson was expecting but the children certainly enjoyed his company. All the best for your travels Jackson. :)

Vom Host für Workawayer (Emily)
Emily and Antke stayed with us for 1 week and what a lovely week we've had! They did 2 solid days of gardening and dishes for us before we decided on taking a spontaneous holiday at the lakes. Then they coped amazingly well with 20 people in a smallish space for 2 rainy days. In between hikes, playground trips, lakes swims and card games they did… read more

We absolutely loved having Lena and Magdalena staying. They were fun and friendly to have around and they graciously tollerated my husband's over competitive card playing. They came the week following an enormously busy time for us and they were very helpful in getting my household back into shape and routines re established. Their duties included… read more

Vom Workawayer (Lena & Magdalena) für Host
As this was our first workaway experience we weren't sure what to expect, especially with a family that size! But we had an amazing time. Olivia and Aaron are very nice (as are the kids, most of the time ;)) and helpful (they helped us with our car problems as we were panicking, thanks again!). We gave us great recommendations about Mount Cook and… read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my time helping you and your family Olivia & Aaron. You were so friendly, easy going, very welcoming and instantly made me feel like part of your family. It was a pretty crazy week but I felt we achieved a lot together. The sleepout was great - having your own toilet & shower was awesome. Thank you for all of the lovely meals… read more

Our family enjoyed Sandras presence in our home immensely. She was cheerful, very hard working and easy to have around. Thank you so much for all your help Sandra! What a difference it's made having an extra set of hands in this crazy busy week...you have set a very high standard for any subsequent work awayers! We will miss you! :relaxed:
