Tsarina and Greg are terrific people who have carved out a perfect slice of paradise for themselves. Their lifestyle block is charming and little things, like Tsarina making her own bread, made it a delightful place to stay for the week. Making dinner and sharing beers with them was so much fun, and we geniunely hope to see them again on our trip!

Hi Amelie,
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We so enjoyed having you to stay and of course you are welcome back anytime- Barbara was asking about you the other day too. Thank you so much for all your hard work and smiles while you were here. It is fireworks time again next weekend, so we will be off to Waiau for another whitebait sandwich! Lots… read more

Vom Workawayer (Amelie) für Host

My dearest Tsarina and Greg,
first off I'm so very sorry for leaving my feedback now, after so much time has passed...it's been months..even though I can still hear the flies buzzing in the living room while we were watching TV :D
I stayed at their cosy home from november 1st to mid november 2018 (almost 2 weeks). Since I came there on my own (to… read more the other side of the world), it was pretty hard for me spending the day all by myself. But after 2 days of being homesick, I finally felt better..and it got better each day. I couldn't be happier to have spent two weeks with Tsarina and Greg and their awesome animals. Mia and Gina, the two dogs were the cutest of them all, so protective but kind and careful while playing. The chickens were pretty hard to handle. They escaped a couple times a day but somehow I managed to catch them. One naughty pig kept escaping as well, "thanks to him" we could kill and eat it....RIP Winston. Another new experience for me. In the mean time I worked in the garden (after feeding the animals), basically it was weeding and keeping everything clean but also working on their vegetable garden. They had all sorts of flowers in the garden which were blooming in their brightest colours - simply beautiful. Then I prepared tea (dinner) and sometimes even pudding when there was some time left, I felt like showing them my appreciation for everything with that. I had so much fun helping out wherever I could. Greg and Tsarina made me feel so welcome and secure. They even tried speaking 'normal english' for me cause their accent isn't that easy to understand when you're not a native speaker. On the weekends we used to take the horses Tara, Zulu and Bella for a ride and Tsarina and Greg even took me to the fireworks near Kaikoura (?). It was a wonderful evening with Hot Dog on a stick and a whitebait sandwich ;)
I also got the chance to meet their beloved neighbor, Barbara. She took me to her favourite spots in Hanmer Springs. It is a beautiful village, the people there are friendly, helpful and polite, just like Tsarina and Greg!!
I had the time of my life and I was sooo sad I had to leave. I miss watching that creepy missing baby show with you and of course country calender. I miss you both so much and hope to return one day! You are incredible people. Greetings to Barbara and Dave & Tim, and give Mia a cuddle <3
Thanks again for a wonderful, life-changing experience.
Cheers, Amelie from Germany :))
