Liz is top notch! We had the absolute best 5 night stay with her in beautiful Kaikoura. She down to earth and immediately made us feel right at home. Her home and accommodation business is superbly clean and professional. We mainly did work tiding up her gardens which we found to be very enjoyable. She lives in a great location that is an easy

The food was amazing and we shared most meals together which allowed us the opportunity to get to know her and some of her family. Her son even took us out to check crayfish traps.

It was an excellent experience and we are happy to say we will leave New Zealand with a new friend.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I stayed with Liz for a few days and helped with gardening help and occasionally housework. It's a beautiful part of New Zealand to stay in and the views from Liz's garden are amazing. Thank you so much for your hospitality Liz I really enjoyed my stay.

Liz was a great host for my first Workaway. I loved working in her garden and Ginger the pig was a delight. Everything so clean and food fresh and delicious. I felt right at home.
