I had a lovely time at Stefanie’s and felt very welcomed by her whole family. I stayed for 10 days and the work was fair. Stefanie was patient in showing me how to look after the chickens and was clear on what other tasks she wanted completed. She is also a very good cook and the meals were delicious! Thanks you for having me Stefanie!

I had a great stay at Stefs place. In the morning I fed the chicken and ducks and if the weather was dry, I mostly did some weeding in the huge garden. The Otago Peninsula is beautiful and Stef told me the best places to visit. I even did some walks with her mom and also met the rest of the family. Thank you :)

I really enjoyed my two weeks at Stefanie's place. I didn't know very much about taking care of chickens and ducks when I started, but Stefanie taught me everything I needed to know. The work, taking care of the animals and general yardwork, was straightforward, and I had plenty of time to explore the highly scenic surrounds. In addition, Stefanie… read more

My time with Stefanie was really good. I enjoyed spending time on my own feeding the chickens and ducklings (that very quickly learned to come running to me when it was feeding time), weeding and picking beans. Stefanie works a lot and even when she‘s home she is always busy, so I didn’t get to see too much of her, but I had a great Christmas… read more
