Greg has been with us for about one month, and we, dogs included, enjoyed his company very much. Greg has shown a sensitive and soft approach to people, animals and projects. We say this with a lot of praise! Every job has been planned meticulously and executed with an eye for detail and precision. He is respectful and grateful. We can highly… read more

Peter and Silvia are fantastic hosts! Communication was easy and they were very welcoming. The tiny house is very clean and well maintained. Their property is beautiful and there are several beaches and walks to do in the area. The dogs and cat are also very friendly, though kept out of the tiny house so there are no problems with allergies. They… read more

We enjoyed the company of Velvet and Jack very much! Their work ethic is of the highest standard, their communication and respect to hosts and property as good as it gets. Their skill to immerse themselves into new environments and own their own 'savoir vivre' is a model for others to follow.
We can only highly recommend these two: if they offer… read more

We had an AMAZING time staying with Peter and Silvia!

The work was relaxed and we were in charge of our own hours- we could amass hours to be taken off of another day which was good for going off exploring or for lazing on the beach!

Staying in the tiny house was an experience in itself, it is perfectly set up with everything you could possibly… read more

Matt and Malia are a cut above the rest! With some people, you just know, that they can be trusted, and that they do things with your interest at heart. They work very well together, and they tackle any task with a typical kiwi 'can-do' attitude.
Matt volunteered to build a rock-wall beside our tiny home to make it look nicer and become more… read more

Peter and Silvia are ideal hosts! They make you feel comfortable immediately, easy to chat with, and if you're lucky enough to be invited for dinner, they are the BEST cooks. Peter was generous enough to let us borrow some fishing and diving gear while we were there and it made our stay even more memorable! We were able to work independently on… read more

I had a very fulfilling time in this lovely house! Peter and Sylvia have been very kind to me. I'm not good at English, but they spoke politely until I understood. Thanks to their kindness, I was able to live a truly relaxed life. Weeding in the garden was a lot of fun because I could feel the nature! It was a very good exercise! My best memory is… read more

Natsumi has been a delight in every respect. Punctual, tidy, clean, respectful and all the other good attributes you wish of a workawayer.
She is one of those rare people that is very happy in her own company, works diligently and hard, but is also good fun to take out fishing or boating. She appreciates nature and is excited about all new… read more

We spent one week with Sylvia and Peter; we can only wish we could've stayed longer!
Unluckily the weather wasn't great, it even rained so much some roads surrounding Russell were closed.

We helped pruning the plum trees and sanding and varnishing some tables.
The tiny house is comfortable, and gives you the needed privacy. The hours are… read more

We had a good time with Hayley and Felix. They both work to high standards and impress with their attention to detail. Felix did one of the more difficult jobs that many others kindly declined - working safely on the high roof to clean gutters & weatherboards, painting the hard to reach places behind bougainvilla etc.
We can highly recommend this… read more

We had a restorative time in the Tiny house on Peter & Silvias magical slice of the bay of islands.
The house, gardens and surrounding Bush is great and the views lovely too!
They were appreciative of our help and we had some really interesting discussions about their own experiences travelling. They were also helpful and generous in setting us… read more

We can only reiterate what has been previously said about Greame and Brenda: They are the perfect workawayers! They are seasoned world-travellers, with the understanding of cultures and people. You can trust them to do the job with diligence and the perspective of the host. We also enjoyed their company and attitude to life. Four weeks went by too… read more

We've just spent 4 weeks staying with Peter and Sylvia and of course Radar the friendly giant ☺ in the beautiful Bay of Islands. They're a really friendly world wise couple and we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They made every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable stay and we did.

Maddie and Jonas arrived a day before New Zealand went into lockdown. This altered the lives of many. From the first day we felt very comfortable with the young couple. Because of the new world order, we had to spend the first two weeks in our own bubbles. We felt sorry for both M&J, being locked up in an unknown place, finding their own 'new' way… read more

Peter and Sylvia are AMAZING! They were so so kind to us while we were hosted by them. They saved us during the coronavirus crisis and allowed us to stay almost two months while we were stranded in New Zealand due to cancelled flights. Their tiny home is super cute and cozy with a beautiful view. It is really paradise in Russell and the whole area… read more

After an exiting but also very exhausting first part of my journey, I was able to relax in my tiny house for a little while... Truly a little piece of paradise!

Where to begin...
Our three weeks with Peter and Silvia were filled with creation, weeding, fishing, laughter, delicious treats shared and a fair amount of autonomy. The tiny house gave us freedom and a space we felt was truly ours to relax into for the short time... and the ability to create our own schedule allowed us to work hard and long, let… read more

We stayed in the tiny house for just two weeks but would have loved to stay there longer! The house and garden were beautiful and the environment was very relaxed. Peter and Sylvia were lovely and great to talk to as fellow Europeans in New Zealand. There was a cat, dogs, citrus trees, a view of the ocean, and a lot to do in the surrounding area.… read more

We had an incredible time with Peter & Silvia! We planned to stay one or two weeks. In the end we stayed 2 months. We fell in love with the Tiny House and the magnificent view.

It never felt like working as an employer, more like helping friends :) We did a lot of different jobs around the property and Peter & Silvia always wanted to know our… read more
