Descripción
We are an older couple who need some help taming our wild gardens. If you enjoy gardening or have pruning skills there are no end of jobs to do. Also if you have building/handyman skills you may be able to earn some money as well as accommodation. There are walking tracks to explore, swimming, snorkelling, diving, surfing and beach combing.

We live on a remote island, generate our own power and live in a very beautiful place. We mainly attract people who want to embrace nature and get away from the big cities for a while. Most people who are here enjoy their stay and go away with new experiences. It is a friendly Island where it is easy to hitch around if you do not have a car.
Ayuda
We have an big rambling garden so there is always gardening to do. Collecting firewood, feeding chickens, helping out on building projects.

Alojamiento
You would be staying either in a backpackers dorm room (4 beds) or a double room. Shared showers, toilet and kitchen. You would work 3 hrs a day for your accommodation. There is a communal kitchen where you can cook for yourselves.
Algo más...
There is a beautiful beach 5 minutes walk away. Surfing, swimming, fishing, stargazing and bushwalks are some of the most popular things to do. We hope that you can entertain yourselves and show some initiative when given work to do.

I had the best two weeks on GBI. Robyn and Malcolm are fantastic and welcoming hosts. They have a beautiful garden and homey backpackers. Incredible location - was only a 5 min walk to a beautiful sandy beach. I was heartbroken to leave this very special place, it is paradise. Huge thank you to Robyn and Malcolm for being a large part of why I… read more

I was delighted to stay with Robyn and Malcolm for 9 days to help with the laundry and feed the ducks and chickens. The place was very pleasant with a lush garden. And my hosts were the kindest. I'm blessed to have been able to stay here, while still being able to enjoy the island. I recommend it 100%. Thanks again :)

We had a wonderful week at Robyn and Malcolm’s place. We felt really welcomed. It is a small hostel with a very beautiful garden and ocean view from the outside breakfast table. The work was easy. Most we enjoyed the Medlands Beach. It is five Minutes to walk and has fantastic waves . We could use bodyboards from Robyn and Malcolm… :)
Thank you!

Sorry it has taken me so long to write my review. Was a delight having Isabel and Freiderike stay. They fitted in really well and approached all tasks with an open mind. We achieved a lot and I hope they have the best time with the rest of their travels in New Zealand.

We had a wonderful and peaceful time with Robyn and really enjoyed Great Barrier Island. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you!

I had a beautiful time on Great Barrier staying in Medlands. The area is central on the island and has beautiful Medlands beach just across the road. Robyn was great with communication and the work was often active (but not strenuous) and varied as we’d do something slightly different each day mostly in the garden or on rainy days cleaning work in… read more

We spent an absolutely amazing 10 days with Robyn and Malcom on the island. They are really wonderful people and the place is just incredible! Beautiful beach just 5 mins down the road and ocean-view from our hut. Couldn't have asked for a better start on our journey! Hope to come by again sometime :)

I had the best time working for Robyn and Malcolm on great barrier island. Robyn does her best to make you feel at home and is very friendly and willing to help with anything. Work was very relaxed. On hard working days in the garden we sometimes got off work early and more time to explore the beautiful Island. The beach is just a 5 minute walk… read more
