(Pablo)I'm an argentinean luthier, specialized in bandoneón (tango musical instrument) and learning violin/cello repair and making. I speak fluent english, french and some japanese.
Love DIY stuff and carpentry, taking care of our garden and our cats.
I have some experience sailing and currently I'm studying Naval Architecture, so I'm into sailboats and yachts.

(Melanie) I work as a biochemist and although I spend many hours in the lab I love being outdoors. I have been working as a Cheff for the past year. I enjoy gardening and hiking, and my friends describe me as a people person. I'm concerned about environmental issues and like to recycle and compost.
I used to play roller hockey and currently I'm learning how to rock climb.

Rie-san, sorry we took so long to leave a review! We spend a week in Mamihara helping with the finishing touches at Omusubi Guesthouse, it was a great experience for us. The work was easygoing and clear, we helped setting up the Booking.com and Airbnb accounts and with some carpentry work. Rie-san made sure we were comfortable and her… read more

We enjoyed Mel and Pablo's stay with us, they tackled weeding gorse and broom and blackberry with continued enthusiasm inspite of the prickles and the sometimes frost mornings, and were always cheerful and helpful. They were good company and happy to help with a range of different tasks including pruning berry bushes in the fruit cage, cleaning… read more

We stayed with Nicki and Richard for over three weeks and we had a great time. We did all sorts of things (prune, collect seaweed, plant trees, weeding, bottling cider, chopping wood, beekeeping and more) so it went by really fast. They were very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The area is a little bit remote but you… read more

Left by Workawayer () for host (Maori culture and simple ...)

We had a very special two weeks in the Farm. It was really moving for us to get to experience first hand Māori culture through Lisa and her work in a school. It allowed us to get a glimpse of all the beauty and challenges of being Māori in current times.
Regarding the work it was mostly outdoors farming work, weeding blackberries and helping… read more

We stayed with Che over two weeks and it was great. He is a very active and generous person, our eco pod was super comfortable and had an amazing view of the ocean. The place is quite busy all year long so you'll find something to help out for sure, the work is relaxed and Che is a good communicator. He lend us some surfing gear and boards and… read more

We had a very peaceful stay at Franklin's place. After traveling for a while is nice to arrive at a place where you can settle into a short time routine, eat home-made meals and get some outdoor time/excercise. The landscape is beautiful and the coffee is delicious.
The accomodation was very comfortable, a twin bed, private bathroom (the hot… read more

Pablo and Melanie were a super sweet fit in our community, and they contributed enthusiastically to everything happening around here. Pablo took the initiative to build us an owl box, which was super appreciated, and they baked us a lot of flan to try and get through our large supply of eggs! They are both smart, funny, and hard working and we… read more

The community they are building is very interesting, the location is beautiful, the food is delicious and the work is fun. We left two days ago and we are already missing the farm work and the animals. We only stayed there… read more
