We had a great time with Abbie and Harry! First off they helped host a Christmas party. Harry was great on the decks choosing the tunes. Then they had a big garden project that they smashed out and it still looks great. They are easy to get on with, kind and considerate. Thanks for all your help guys! It has been awesome having you stay!

We had a really lovely time with Emma & Jack (and Levi!) in Wellington. They welcomed us into their home and made us feel very comfortable straight away, and the gardening tasks we carried out was easy and allowed us to work independently. We were treated to amazing meals, and plenty of free time to enjoy Wellington and it's surroundings. We would… read more

Abbie and Harry stayed with us for about one week. They were both hard workers and good at working independently. They were very friendly and easy going to have around and we enjoyed our time together! We are very appreciative of the hours of weeding, trimming and clearing they did in our garden, it is looking so much better than it did before… read more

We had a wonderful time with Mary. She was very welcoming and it was a joy to spend time with her and hear her stories. The help was mostly in the garden and we enjoyed completing it - especially creating the veg & herb garden. Mary cooked us lots of great meals & her home is very lovely to stay in. I would recommend to anyone :) thank you Mary!

It was a pleasure to have Harry and Abbie at my place. Their personalities were happy and peaceful. Their work effort was very much appreciated. They dismantled an overgrown garden and returned it to a lawn. Abbie helped me to make a potted garden on my balcony, with an abundance of vegetables and herbs. They did a nice job on my lawn. Harry fixed… read more

We had an amazing time working in Suz & Tim's garden. The work was varied & easy-going, and we learned so much about growing food - which is something we were already really interested in. The sleep-outs are really beautiful and well equipped, we felt really comfortable there. We enjoyed spending time in Raglan and getting to know the local… read more

We had a great week with Chris and Cole on their farm, learning about caring for animals, growing your own food and kiwi life. They were very welcoming and made us feel at home straight away, and Cole made such an effort to cook lovely meals for us. We also loved having the 4 dogs around as they're so friendly! The location was great for exploring… read more
