What's this?

Details

Description
In our home there is two of us, Paul & Claire. We live 4 minutes from our home town, We have a small hobby farm consisting of Chook's, Goats, Cows, & dogs.

We have a Nursery in town and a tree removal business that keeps us very busy, So while we are at work we often ask for help with jobs at home tending to the animals, house work or general farm and garden work.
We have a lot of minature goats and often ask our workawayers to spend time with them especially the younger ones to help quiet them down, and get used to people.

We aren't strict with work hours, And if you wish to have a day off that's ok.

We have home cooked meals every week night. Involving home grown vegetables and meat, Weekend's tend to be casual with lighter meals or bbq's, sometimes staying at our shack at the beach.

We have a new and inviting self contained unit for our stayers, consisting of own bathroom and lounge room.

We guarantee a warm welcome into our home.
No smokers please.

Staying with Paul and Claire was a wonderful experience. They were incredibly hospitable and I was super comfortable at their place in Wynyard. I helped out with the chickens and dogs, assisted with the fruit and vege garden and did odd jobs that were required like stacking firewood- but always very cruisey and never too demanding. They also… read more

We had such a great workaway experience at Claire and Paul's. We stayed there for nearly a month and loved every bit of our trip there. They were so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The jobs were varied; from fencing to washing the dogs, we made our fun out of them all. Every weekend Paul and Claire took us out on daytrip… read more

Kilian and Antonia, were a delight to have.
Kilian was our first Guy we have had, and when he was here he built raised garden beds in our vegetable garden.
We left him to his own devices to build with the help of the girls, and he done an excellent job. You would be happy to know we are already harvesting vegetables from your beautiful garden… read more

Valerie was a good workaway at our home, she would get in a help with what ever was needed, and I felt confident to leave her to achieve tasks on her own.
We had some laughs too !
Goodluck Valerie with the rest of your traveling x

I really enjoyed staying with Paul, Claire and Tyson. They are very friendly and generous people, and shared with me everything they possibly could. Their place is very nice and comfortable and the food is very good. The work wasn't very hard and varied from potato sorting to helping out in their little landscaping business to just accompanying… read more
