We spent two wonderful weeks with Sarah, Ethan and their three lovely kids and we are so grateful for this experience. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel like part of the family.
We stayed in their house, had a cozy room and shared the bathroom with the kids which wasn’t a problem at all. We really enjoyed taking
… read more care of them. Our tasks mainly included helping around the house, cooking for the family and looking after the children. We also did some gardening work. The communication was always clear and the whole family is really flexible including working times and tasks.
One of the highlights was definitely visiting the farm and helping to milk the cows.
The best part of our stay was that we were invited to celebrate Christmas with the whole family. The entire family is so warm and friendly, which made our stay even more special.
Sarah and Ethan are amazing hosts – open, communicative and genuinely caring people. We had a fantastic time and are thankful for all the insights into New Zealand life that we were able to gain during our stay.
Thank you so much for having us! We will always remember this beautiful experience 🥰

Sarah and Ethan, thank you for the wonderful two weeks! They are the amazing host who are lovely and kind and I can't thank you enough.
At fist, I was a little nervous because that was my first solo trip and first workaway experience,but once I met them, I was immediately less nervous.
Ethan was interested in and talked to me about cultural
… read more differences and Sarah was very kind and explained clearly what to do. Kids were adorable and full of energy. I enjoyed playing a lot with kids and they taught me many things. And everyone I met this time such as their parents, siblings and friends were also nice and I felt the warmth of New Zealanders.
Work involved cleaning, hanging out and holding the washing, gardening, looking after kids, and sometime helping with the farm.
I already miss the beautiful scenary around the house,every delicious meals( I am so grateful for making wonderful dinner every time) , animals and the time playing with kids. I fully enjoyed the stay on the farm in NZ with this lovely family and learned a lot of things. If you are looking for the host in NZ, I strongly recommend them. I'll definitely come back there to see them again!

Sarah and Ethan are Kiwi to the core. Both are hardworking and passionate, and if you're looking for an immersive experience in farming and kiwi lifestyle I'd say they're the host.
Work around the farm varies from day to day - you should expect to work at least 5h a day, but sometimes you'll work 7h if Ethan need an extra hand milking or only 2h
… read more when most projects are done and you only need to give them a help around the house. Flexibility is the word!
Sarah might give you a list with stuff to do so it also depends on how fast you work! I believe being proactive and able to work independently is of great help :)
Absolutely loved learning about milking and farming in general. Rita and Ethan are the best teaches ever hahaha. You'll also have a car to use around (gas is on you tho!)
Would definitely recommend them.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Sarah and Ethan, Thank you for providing a home away from home for a week.
Of course, I was a bit nervous at first, but what an amazingly rewarding week I spent with you and the family. I will particularly miss our chats comparing and contrasting our different countries, world views, and worries for the future of the world. I am thankful for the
… read more wonderful home-cooked meals and nutritious milk you shared with me. It is very gratifying to witness and take part in the process of grass to milk. Spending time with the kids was just an absolute riot—I'm so glad I was able to bake for them and play with them when you two needed a break. Overall, I am feeling refreshed after a week at your house and I look forward to continuing my NZ journey and seeking out people like you. When I'm back in the area I will no doubt give you a holler to catch up and chat again. Best of luck with the business Ethan, and for you Sarah, the rest of your school year to go by in a flash. I am very proud and pleased to have chosen you guys as my first work away. Wishing your family the best. Thanks a bunch. - WillieDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Dorothea & Thomas)
Lovely to meet Dorothea and Tommy and the children. Loved learning about life in Germany.
Sarah and Ethan, thank you for a very happy two months on the farm with yourselves, Levi, Emily and newborn Lucy. It was an honour to help at that special time with the washing (lots of it!), keeping the house tidy and clearing the gardens, as well as holding Lucy and chatting with the older children. I enjoyed meeting all your relatives and

You were very fair and flexible with my tasks and provided a lovely little cabin and plentiful, nourishing food (much of it from your own farm and garden). After Christmas and time with my family, I look forward to coming back.Join an organic family farm with an Olive grove in Motueka, New Zealand
