Lewis stayed with us for 12 days, and helped out with a variety of tasks. A lot of our activities were new to him, and he was open and very willing to learn new things and give everything a go. He helped out in building a foundation, and a new fence. He followed all instructions and did his jobs with the best of his abilities, applying precision … read more

I had a nice time with Konny and Stefan. Tasks included installing the fence for a new sheep paddock and aiding Stefan with the construction of his workshop, as well as moving furniture and appliances to their second home.

I spent an enjoyable week at Neville's bush block. Tasks included mowing, clearing invasive plants, tidying the tool sheds and moving materials around; I fed the chickens and his goat regularly and I was also taken to one of his family member's to paint a fence. On my time off Neville was kind enough to take me to Whangarei Falls, and he put a … read more

Lewis was respectful, friendly, and eager to be helpful. He got along well with our family including our 3yo son and our dog. He completed a variety of projects from trench digging, moving soil and rock, weeding, and pressure washing.

I had a great week with Jamie and Xabi, who were kind enough to accommodate me on short notice. Tasks included but were not limited to jet-washing, mowing, digging and weeding. The cottage is very luxurious and I felt priveleged to have it to myself. They were also kind enough to drop me in Silverdale and Orewa for me to explore, and invited me on … read more

I had a great week staying with Candace's wonderful family. Me and another workawayer were mostly helping the farm manager with the upkeep of the property and the presentation of the grounds. They organised for us to go to the thermal pools and on a fishing trip, too. The food was great, Candace is also an amazing cook. I would love to return here … read more
