Description
We are heading to the South Island for the first time from April onwards, after working in hospitality for the summer up in Matakana. Looking to be immersed in communities and cultures around the world & learn about other people's lives. We both love spending time outdoors, gardening and cooking. Also, hoping to make great friends along the way.

About us:
We have both stepped away from intense desk jobs to get out, slow down, and enjoy the outdoors. Abi studied Chemistry and loves to get stuck into any team sport, especially outdoors plus she makes an awesome risotto. Harry studied Product Design, is pretty handy and is a bit overly obsessive about baking. We are pretty easygoing and self-sufficient, enjoy good conversations over dinner and like a good day's hard work.

We are generally up for doing anything, happy to muck in, get dirty and know what a hard day of work is. We just want to experience your way of life and the beautiful country you live in.

Harry and Abi were lovely guests and looked after our 3 dogs like thier own while we were away. They were great workers and joined in with community support and our trips out. Harry's cooking will remain legendary in our house!

Helen and Ian were fantastic hosts, we were welcomed warmly into their home and had a great 3 weeks. We did a mixture of dog sitting, helping in the vineyard and a local community project planting native bush. Helen and Ian are very generous hosts, we enjoyed their wine, shared good food and joined them at the weekly pub quiz. Kurow makes a nice… read more

Hosting Harry and Abigail was a dream — they are amazing gourmet pizza chefs, and it was fun talking “culinary” with them! They worked tirelessly on our property, tending to the burn pile and then focusing specifically on the task of covering about 40 olive trees with netting to keep the birds out—no small task! They worked well together with very… read more

Harry and Abi were excellent company, easy to host, and a great help: our hazelnut harvest is squared away for the year, this year's garlic is in, plus loads more. Thank you, Harry and Abi, for being flexible with your arrival dates too - it was much appreciated. Harry is an amazing cook - we highly recommend you give him free rein in the kitchen!… read more

We had a wonderful, short week with Teena and Noël, they were super welcoming and made us feel right at home, with a board game within the first hour of arriving. The property is very diverse with lots going on and some lovely alpacas to feed and say hello to. We had a few different tasks while we were there which kept it fun, and they were… read more
