10/10 would recommend! It's been such a delight to have Maxime and Adrienne here. Easy-going, independent, and open to new experiences. They have helped me with gardening, a tough job, and I couldn't have asked for a better result. They enjoyed helping with cooking, and socializing and respected our private space/time alone.

Sandra & Blair are amazing people, lovely, welcoming and really inspiring. It was a privilege to stay with them in this magnificent arty place.
The work is very fair, Sandra's meals were delicious and during the free time we really enjoyed spending time with Sandra & Blair. They're busy with the art gallery and yet they spend time with us and… read more

Maxime is a A+ Workawayer.
In the 10 days he was here he achieved a huge amount and really made a difference in my garden.
He dug out parts of a clay bank and made a bottle wall, cleared weeds, pruned my very overgrown deck hedge (trees), did a lot of hauling heavy bags of stuff down my steep garden, and on his last day (when he didn't need to… read more

I felt part of the family with Elspeth & Kim.
They're really welcoming, friendly and always in a good mood. They trusted me with the tasks I had to carry out independently, and I appreciated the fact that I could share certain meals with them, as well as having my own personal space with the independent kitchen.

We loved hosting Maxime. He was with us for 3 weeks, and was a huge help. He did a lot of weeding and many other gardening jobs ... always with a smile! If you have the opportunity to host Maxime you should take it. He is a really nice person and and got on very well with everyone. A top Workawayer for sure....

Thank you very much for this first workaway experience for me. Meg & Kit gave me a warm welcome and I couldn't have wished for a better start to my adventure in New Zealand.
The morning work is very pleasant and varied. It's very refreshing to work in their beautiful gardens, both Mount Eden and Puketi.
Despite my low level of English, we had… read more

We enjoyed Maxime very much. He was courteous, considerate and always worked hard and cheerfully. He became addicted to chopping wood!
He was keen to learn new skills and appreciative of all we provided.
He was a generous participant in the family and shared cooking competently .
