Descripción
We have a dry stock farm with mostly young dairy cows that we graze for their owners. We live in an old house that has plenty of character and needs a lot of work!
We enjoy travelling and being with travellers, and love talking to you about your adventures and what you’ve got planned next. We are more than happy to provide you with information to help you with your plans when we can.
The help you give us will depend on the weather, season, your interests and skills, and just what projects we have on. It will be help around our house & garden rather than our farm.
Accommodation is in a self contained ’pod’ cabin across the driveway from our house. Here you will have all the privacy you want but with access to all of our house facilities. There’s plenty of parking, and also plenty of space to get things dry if you need to. Previous travellers have made use of our workshop to work on their cars and bikes.

Taranaki is unique in the world because it's possible to surf in the waves and ski on the mountain in the same day. If they're not your type of activities, or it's the wrong time of year, there are plenty of bush walks and coastal walks. The nearest big town is New Plymouth - everything is driving distance away, and you will get the most out of your stay if you have your own car (although we are happy to take you sightseeing when we have time).

We had an absolutely amazing time on the farm with Rachel & Aaron. So far this was one of the best Workaway's we did. During our time we did some weeding, hedgetrimming and fencing. Totally special to us was that we were allowed to move the cattle on our own including temporary fencing and having little quad and motorcross adventures driving… read more

I spent almost 4 weeks with Rachel and Aaron (and their children). They are very welcoming and kind!
The farm has view on both mount Taranaki and sea. Isn’t it amazing? You will work with a wonderful view!
I’ve learned so many things about cows and calves and works around the farm. I would never think I will be able to build a fence (and I… read more

I had two amazing weeks with Rachel and Aaron. I really liked it to work with Rachel and to learn stuff about the cows. They were easy going and I had plenty of times to explore the area.
Muchas gracias to both of you. Take care !

We loved having Amelie to stay. She slotted in with everything we had going on - a very easy house guest. Mostly housekeeping jobs this time. We loved her sense of adventure taking herself off for a giant hike to the top of the mountain up the path less travelled. Also, Amelie made us some delicious Belgian food - always a win!

Wow, I stayed ten days in wonderful Taranaki. My experience could not have been better. Rachel and Aaron are lovely hosts, always patient and very friendly. We mostly worked together moving or weighing cows. I also did some weeding. In my free-time, they helped me planning my hikes and took me to the mountain. Thanks again for that, I totally… read more

The experiences described by other workawayers here are totally true!
We can't thank Rachel and her family enough for letting us stay at her farm and have amazing 2+ weeks.
Everyone else you meet is just as sweet and welcoming and you will really have to try not to take all the breaks they encourage you to make else you'll feel pretty lazy.

So far, my trip to NZ has been full of luck, and my 3-weeks-stay with Rachel and her family was no exception. I felt very welcomed to the house and farm by both core and extended family and their friends. Everyone was very nice to me, and they made sure that I was doing a variety of jobs so that I wouldn't be bored. I removed acapenthus and other… read more

We had a great 13 days with the family. Everyone was so nice to us we felt like part of the family in a way. The kids are a lot of fun and you will never be bored (we miss the board games and laughter) we helped a little with fencing but mostly our work was building new flower beds. We stayed in a cool caravan and then motor home which was great… read more

Our kids, cats, chickens and garden loved having Rob & Jen to stay (and we did too). They are super hard working, willing to give anything a go and great with the kids. They got heaps done and worked just as well unsupervised as when I was around. Thanks heaps for your time, maybe we will see you again one day!

We enjoyed our time with Kira - she came at a time when there was a lot of stress in our family, but she handled it, and it was really great to have her there to support our family. We tackled tasks where we had to get dirty and Kira got into them without batting an eyelid. Thanks heaps for your time, you are welcome back any time.

I had a very good time with Rachel and her family. They were happy to take me to family activities like BBQs, hiking and visiting the museum. They also offered me lifts into town (New Plymouth) nearly everyday. Work was not too hard and I had plenty of free time :-)
