Rima and Dennis were such kind and welcoming individuals! Despite them dealing with flood damage to their house, they were both very accommodating. The work was enjoyable and I was able to learn about gardening, Māori culture, and lots about their beautiful region. The sleepout was very cozy and private, which was great!

Matt was here for almost 3 weeks and in that time he was an integral part of the ever changing teams of helpers. He was good at everything I needed done and I knew I could leave him with new helpers and have him show them the ropes. I could leave him alone to do a job and he would do it perfectly. While he was here he achieved a huge amount in… read more

I had a wonderful stay at Sarndra’s slice of paradise! The property itself is wonderful; there is lots to explore and there are many interesting tasks to keep you busy. Sarndra is such a warm and welcoming human being. She is very clear about what she wants when it comes to her projects, which I really appreciate. The rooms are extremely cosy and… read more

Matt was a lovely, easy going person to have around and we hope he comes back to visit one day :). He made amazing Japanese food, was always happy to wash up, and worked steadily in whatever task was set for him. Thoroughly recommend Matt to any host and we wish him well.

These are some of the most incredible and warm-hearted people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I am so grateful that they welcomed me into their cozy home; I felt more like family than a workawayer. While here I learned that happiness is reaped from the simple things in life. Because of my time spent here, my path in life is a little clearer,… read more

Due to extraneous cicurmstances only got to hang out with Rauri for one night, but I wish I could have stayed longer! Rauri was a super cool guy and very accommodating. I managed to not burn down his house and kept his dog in good health for the entirety of my stay, which is why I believe I earned such an esteemed rating from him despite my short… read more

I only got a chance to stay here for one week, but I had a wonderful experience! Everyone made me feel right at home, and I had an absolute blast. It was a very chill atmosphere, and the amount of work required was very fair. Was a perfect start to my Icelandic experience. Would highly recommend making this a part of your trip.
