I initially planned to stay in Arrowtown for about a week and a half, but ended up staying two and a half weeks — which says a lot about how great the experience was.

I spent a week with Glen and Kristen, and it was truly one of my best weeks in New Zealand. There were three Workawayers in total, and we had an amazing time together. The work was varied and very interesting — I learned a lot, especially about building a bridge.

We had great moments around meals, shared lots of laughs, and even played board … read more

It was such a pleasure to host Charles at our place - he's very easygoing, fit in really well with the household, pets and humans :) He made some great improvements in our garden, leaving it in a much better state than at the start of the week.

Charles was absolutely fabulous, a real joy to have around and very funny. Both my husband and I liked him very much and would happily recommend him to anyone. He’s a hard worker and was a great help to us. We would have him back anytime and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Charles was a lovely guy, who helped us split some wood & clear weeds from our fence line for 2 days. He managed to see quite a bit of this beautiful area we live in and he was friendly and communicated well.

I stayed with this family for 4 days and had a really great experience. They live on a beautiful property and take excellent care of their Workaway helpers. The accommodation is very comfortable, with a private caravan, as well as a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, which gives a lot of independence.

A big highlight was having access to a kayak … read more

Evelyn and John were incredibly welcoming and kind during the six days I stayed with them. Their place is a true haven of peace, surrounded by nature, and I really enjoyed the moments we shared together. It’s also a great place to start a trip in New Zealand.
Thank you so much, Evelyn and John!
