We stayed with Amy, Mike and Jai for four weeks and had a wonderfull time there. They are very warm, social and welcoming people and made us feel at home from the very first minute we arrived in their beautiful piece of green paradise. Such a peaceful and quiet place.
Amy and Mike offered us their cabin which was equipped with a cooking stove

The work asked, was very reasonable. During our stay we removed weeds from the vegetable garden, the stairs leading to their property and some other paths in the garden. We also transported a bunch of wooden logs from their parking lot up to their property. As we combined our stay with another paid job, it was nice to have such flexible hosts and be able to choose our own hours. Amy and Mike also took the time to express their gratitude for the work we did, even for the smallest of jobs. If there was something we needed, they always made it a priority to take care of it.
Due to different circumstances, we weren't able to spend that much time together, but we're really grateful that we had the chance to meet this beautiful family. We also got to hang out with Jai, who is such an amazing and creative little soul.
Thank you again for having us! We wish you all the best for the future, and looooots of sunshine for the rest of your summer :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Just the absolute best place you could hope to stay for a workaway! We were with Amy, Mike and Jai for a week already before the lockdown was announced, and there was no hesitation from them saying we could stay and be part of their bubble for as long as needed. The kindest and most generous people and we could not be more grateful for the time we

What a family! What a location! We had an amazing 10 days with Mike, Amy, and Jai. They welcomed us into their home like we were family and included us on various outings to get a real taste of Kiwi life. All the work that was asked of us was fair, and Mike and Amy were always very helpful and generous along the way. Anyone looking to relax in NZ

I stay into this beautiful paradise for a week and I love it so much !
Amy, Mike and Jai welcome me on a really nice way into this gem place. I really like to be able to chill into this forest, feeling far away from all the crowded famous places in Coromandel (school holidays ..).
I was able to enjoy this little village, just 5minutes away, more

The work was really easy, and never to long. They let me work with independance and trust. Thank you for that !
I could also have nice talk with them, and they are really interesting person. I appreciate to be around such nice person, and live into this amazing hobbit cabin which is so cute !!
Thank you so much for everything ! I wish you all the best !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Fanny)
Fanny stayed with us recently in the Coromandel for a few days and she was one of the easiest people to have stay... very independent, sensible, friendly, helpful, and she left the cabin tidy when she left which is always a bonus! She even put up with our 6yr old son's constant talking and looked after him one morning so I could go out. We wish

Friendly and easy to host (we went away for half the time and felt fine leaving them here alone)
Best wishes for the rest of your travels and thanks again for your help! :)
Vom Workawayer (Rosalie & Dorian) für Host
I spent 3 weeks in Amy and Mike's lovely cabin and I just had a wonderful time. They were both really helpful, every time I wanted to try something (pottery for example) they would always try do provide me with everything I needed. Plus, even if I didn't have a car, it was still quite easy to go around cause they would offer me a ride each time
… read more when they would go to town (wich was quite often). I would definitely recommand their place to anyone who'd like to spend some time in an amazing off grid set up and still be able to enjoy a lot of the Coromandel.
In a nutshell, I felt very welcomed, supported and had some really nice chat with both of them on a lot of different subjects. I'm hopping to come back in spring.
Thanks again for everything!
Dorian
(I only spent a few days at Mike and Amy's but I also had a great time! The place is a little paradise lost in the bush. I would've liked to spend more time there!
Thanks and see you soon!

Dorian stayed with us for nearly 3 weeks and Rosalie for the last few days. They are a lovely couple and we were really happy having them to stay. Dorian has sorted out our firewood for winter and also made a cute table for our cabin in his spare time (in between lots of other little projects!) and Rosalie painted a couple of lovely signs for us

Quinten is a great guy, very enthusiastic about life and also a keen worker, very helpful and easy to have around :) All the best for your travels!

While I was exploring the beautiful coromandel area , I could stay 2 nights at the little hobbit house. I was so fortunate. Amy and Mike are 2 openminded and friendly people. In exchange for some work I could sleep in a great location. Very good and quick responses by Amy! Thank you Mike and Amy and good luck with your project.

Thank you for your help! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Vom Workawayer (Juliette) für Host
We spent a little bit more than two weeks in Amy and Mike place and that was really unique. If you love wild life and nature it's the place where to go. This couple is lovely and fair, I think that we spent more time to enjoy than to work but I hope that what we did was great for them. Thank you so much to give us the opportunity to live this
