Beschreibung
Hi, I live in a comfortable house in a cute community, close to a beach, and about one hour by train from Wellington. I have two spare bedrooms and am keen to swap some gardening and general help, for accommodation.

I love this part of NZ and am a keen photographer. I'm always happy to share ideas of what to do and see here and in other parts of NZ.

Raumati South is a fantastic place all year round for walks on the beach, great sunsets, close to bike trails, cafes and restaurants.

You were simply absolutely amazing.
We have learn a lot about the History of the Māori because of your passion for it.
We have discovered all around Raumati South, Paraparaumu, the Beautiful Waikanae River, the unforgettable Nga Manu with the unique Kiwi experience and the Birds and… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Fumi & Quentin)

What a great couple - very easy to host and slotted easily into the household routines. They listened to instructions, followed them carefully and used their initiative to go the extra mile. They did general gardening and housework and everything was done to a very high standard and all the tools tidied away at the end. I also recommend their… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Veronika)

Veronika is a willing and cheerful young person. She's very easy going, happy to amuse herself or take part in activities with friends and family. She took on painting, housework, gardening and car washing chores as her part of the household routine. The Covid-19 lockdown meant she was trapped with me for over two months but took it all in her… read more

Vom Workawayer (Veronika) für Host

The most important thing first: Yes, I can recommend Karlum as a host. She’s not only funny and very generous but also welcoming and one of the best slaveholders I know. I’m so grateful that she let me stay during lockdown in New Zealand (for over two months because I couldn’t get a flight back home). And still she took me to different places in… read more

Vom Workawayer (eri) für Host

Karlum is such a kindly, clever, frisky person. My first day when I got to station at11:00pm(The ferry was delayed), she came to pick me up. Next day she took me on beach, organic shop, seeing the sunset. I can use comfy electrical bike whenever I want to go somewhere. How kind and great you are! I won't forget that you taught me how to pronounce… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (eri)

Eri is full of curiosity, has a great capacity to find the fun in everything she does, and was quick to pick up on the household routine. She dug, weeded and planted new bits of my gardens, washed floors and polished windows. Eri was careful about everything she did, very respectful and a delight to host. Her English lessons provided a lot of… read more

Vom Workawayer (Solenn & Camille) für Host

Our stay at Karlum's place was great. She is a really nice and funny person with a big sense of humour. The two cats are very cute (Rabbit is very friendly !).
The work was easy for us : general cleaning and weeding to control the oak tree bush.
We spent a very nice week, ate good meals and Karlum made us discover amazing places near… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Solenn & Camille)

Solenn and Camille were just delightful .. lots of fun and they worked very hard. I've never had windows to sparkly and clean. They also cleared out Sherwood Forest (my bank of oak seedlings), weeded the gardens and did all the housework. They not only willingly and happily carried out all the tasks I asked of them, they used their initiative to… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Niklas)

Niklas fitted into the household like he was part of the family. He was so easy to live with, hardworking, always ready to say 'yes' to the next task. He also has a very advanced sense of humour. HIs English is perfect - he's picked up on all the subtleties needed to reveal his irony and sarcasm to perfection. :) I loved having him to stay and… read more

Vom Workawayer (Niklas) für Host

So after an entire week of experiencing the slave lifestyle (her terminology) I can surely say that Karlum is easily the most pleasant slaveowner in history. She picked me and another workawayer up from Wellington where she works several days a week. Her house is about an hour away from the city and easily reachable by train or bus. It is… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Lotta)

Lotta was terrific. She worked hard and was really easy to live with. I loved her good humour and willingness to do whatever was needed. She was also interested in checking out the local sights and experiences and was quick to respond to my demands that she learn to play my favourite card game. I had another Workawayer staying at the same time and… read more

Vom Workawayer (Lotta) für Host

My whole week there was great! Karlum was honest about the amount of work me and other workawayer Niklas would need to do. She was flexible; if we wanted a day off we could just do double on some other day etc. But it did not end up being slavery as she used to joke about a lot haha! I enjoyed her sarcasm! Her sharing all her stories of her career… read more

For me was the first workaway experience. I will always have a beautiful memory thanks to Karlum. We spent our time planting several different plants in the garden and in the free time we have enjoyed al the beautiful places around raumati beach. Karlum gave me as well a lot of tips of what to visit in wellington and in all the rest of new… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Stefano)

Stefano worked hard while he was here - doing all the muscle work in my new garden and then turning around and cooking a pasta lunch. He was a delight to host; making a real point of getting along with the other two Workaway travellers, and together, we all had a lot of fun. He's keen to improve his English and be useful. I recommend him to other… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Louise & Elsa)

Louise and Elsa were a pure pleasure to host. They were keen to learn about New Zealand, the Maori culture and very willing to help out in the house and the garden. They were respectful, tidy and really engaged with what was going on around them. They even learned to play Euchre (which is apparently similar to a French card game). I recommend them… read more

Valerie painted my deck rails 3 times without complaint and they look terrific! She was a delight to host and fun to have around. Highly recommend her. She fitted in like a member of the family :relaxed:
