We enjoyed Wei Li's stay at our place. Wei Li is very friendly and respectful and she liked sharing her culture with us. Some of the jobs that she did were new to her but she learnt quickly and followed the instructions with care. Wei Li cooked some traditional Malaysian dishes. The prawn soup was superb! Our dog Mia loved playing with her and Wei… read more

Jan and Dorota were wonderful hosts during my two-week Workaway stay. I primarily helped with house cleaning, and they provided clear instructions and all the necessary equipment, including gloves. In our free time, we shared many cultural exchanges through great conversations and delicious food from each of our countries.

We enjoyed Rob's company and the work he did for us was excellent. Rob is a very respectful and friendly man. He taught us a lot about Wales, its history and culture and we found him very knowledgeable. Rob is also very curious of the world which allowed us to exchange our views on various topics.

Jan and Dorota were absolutely brilliant during my week long stay. It was a fantastic first Workaway experience in New Zealand, and I felt incredibly welcome in their home, which they made me feel a part of.

The bed and private bathroom were both immaculate and I had a great time at the house during my stay, they have a beautiful garden and it… read more

I spent a week with Jan and Dorota, it was my first experience with Workaway and it couldn't have been better. The house is beautiful, as well as the room. Both of them are very kind, attentive, and respectful people. Dorota's food is simply incredible, and Jan's patience in explaining the tasks is enormous. And Mia, their beautiful dog, she never… read more

It was great to have Julian with us. He is a very nice, reliable and respectful young man. We shared a lot about our cultures together and had many nice chats. He helped us around the house; work done by him was excellent. We hope he stays in touch with us and we would definitely recommend Julian to the Work away community.

Sofia is a friendly, young Workawayer who stayed with us for five days. In that time we had some lovely chats together sharing our cultures and experiences. Together we went to Raglan and spent a nice few hours on the beach. Sofia did a very good three days' gardening work for us and we are very grateful for that.

We loved having Gonzalo and Erica at our place. They are an amazing young couple with awesome people skills. They helped us a lot in the garden and in the house.

We planned on staying with Dorota and Jan for two weeks, but extended for another week. We have nothing but amazing things to say about them, the way they are, the way they treated us, everything we shared and learnt was honestly beyond our expectations.
Our staying was just perfect: We did some work (in our case, pruning, thinning trees and… read more gardening, wonderful job outdoors) four hours a day, five days a week, having Saturday and Sunday off. Instructions were given by Jan, who was so patient, super extra kind and easy to get along with. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor. Working for him is the best we could ask for, he would explain thoughtfully and as many times as needed if we didn't understand or know how to do a task.
We made breakfast and lunch for and by ourselves, and were able to use any ingredient there was in the fridge or scullery (el cuartito). But then it came dinner and Dorota: OH-MY-GOD. In three weeks, she cooked different meals for all of us, never repeating a recipe! We have never eaten so well for so long! She is an excellent cook, and shared some recipes with us which we are going to try to make soon, especially the kluski!! Apart from cooking, Dorota made us feel at home, always came back from work with a smile and willing to catch up with us about the day. She is also a teacher of Spanish and French! So communicating was never a problem!
As a couple, they are the best. We never lacked conversation and laugh at the table, and even after dinner, we usually played cards or dice (if you are into it please ask them to teach you the bean game!), watch a video or movie, and they even to spend a couple of hours helping us to plan our trip, making recommendations and suggestions about places to go and visit. In one occasion we had a problem about a tour we wanted to do and they went far and beyond to give us a solution, we won't forget that gesture.
Something we loved and appreciated about them is that in all of the many conversations we shared, every time they showed genuine interest in us, either asking about our home country when discussing specific topics, or ourselves, or our plans or past. We felt the four of us were equals, even though it was their house of course and their rules and their lives we were intruding! It honestly felt like staying with family, Dorota and Jan, thank you so much and we are sure you know what we are telling it's true.
Both are very intelligent, well educated, kind and fun. We weren't forced to spend our free time with them, we chose to. They are pretty chilled and laid-back. Just the perfect combination!
Their house is beautiful!! Comfortable and cozy. Outside there is a large perfectly green land with lots of plants, and flowers, and trees. The room we had was perfect, and we have the solo use of a separated toilet and shower, everything was new and perfectly clean.
But we haven't talked about Mia yet! Mia is their black Labrador dog, the sweetest of the world! We played with her every day and even took her for a walk around the place (amazing views by the way). We already miss having her company!
We are very grateful, we left their house feeling we didn't make any mistake by choosing to stay with them. The amount of things we learnt about New Zealand is incredible! Culture, education, politics, economics, touristic attractions and way more.
And as we said when we were leaving, we know we won't find a better host in the future. YOU WERE IT!
A million thanks and wish you all the best!
Gonzalo and Erica.

We enjoyed having Carmen and Sabrina at our place. They were always very respectful and polite. They worked hard in our garden and what they did for us looks fantastic. They looked after themselves during the day, preparing their own breakfasts and lunches. Our dog Mia was entertained by them and now she is missing their company during the day.… read more

Joren and Eline are fantastic young couple. They are very reliable and hardworking people. They were of a great help to us while staying at our place. We enjoyed our time spent with Joren and Eline especially the long discussions on our cultural experiences. We highly recommend Joren and Eline as workawayers.
