Description
We are a german couple currently traveling new zealand and are looking for some agricultural experience. Me (Jana, 22), am a trained ornamental horticulturist and love to get my hands dirty in the garden. I am passionate about regenerative agriculture and homesteading and would love to learn more along the way. My Girlfriend (Anna, 22) is a trained orchardist who has the same interest in agriculture as me and is also looking to learn about the keeping of farm animals. We are both used to working outside and getting physical!

If the weather was poor we did fun things like making lemonade or jam. Our room was really nice and the house has fantastic views! The meals were nice and… read more

We recently hosted Jana and Anna for a couple of weeks and found them hardworking, capable and very versatile. While staying with us they achieved so much, ranging from working in the kitchen making bread, lemonade and other pickles. Outside they were involved with digging out the chicken pen to replenish the soil (hard dirty work), planting… read more

Jana and Anna were great helpers. They are both knowledgeable and very productive with their work in the garden. As well as getting an array of tasks done such as pruning, planting and preparing a new vege garden area, I enjoyed being able to discuss ideas and plans I had for the garden and get their input.
Jana is also an amazing cook and I… read more

We have stayed with Deb, Andy and Airt for almost two weeks and really enjoyed our stay here! We did loads of fun tasks in the garden and inside the house when the weather was looking gloomy. Work and free time was well balanced, we had plenty of time to explore the beautiful island. Deb always had good recommendations! In our time there we… read more

Jana and Anna were a delight to host as Workaway guests. They were skilled in garden maintenance and care of plants, and were a very hardworking couple, so achieved so much more than we could have hoped for. They both worked with good humour and high energy and on top of all the hard work they cooked traditional Swabian meals for us a couple of… read more

Our time in Waihi was truly amazing. From the first moment on we felt welcomed and at home. Dallas and John are incredibly kind and warm people.
Their garden is a lovely place that they have put much time and effort into. We got to do different tasks and jobs almost everyday and their completion always felt really rewarding. Both of us were able… read more

Jana ended up staying a little over a month with us in September 2023. She is a lovely person who has good plant and gardening skills. She is also a foodie, and will cook very excellent food and has great ideas for recipes! We thoroughly enjoyed having her around and hope that her journey to NZ will prove super amazing!
