Descripción
Our family of five but just one 15 yr old son at home as our daughters are mostly away at Uni. We have great coastal views, are on a regular bus route or there is a spare bike about too. Close to Newtown and Island Bay. There is ongoing gardening work, perhaps some painting if you have previous skills plus general help around the house - vacuuming, hanging out washing, dusting etc Can you help? Do you have these skills and are happy to take the dog for a walk? We would also ask you to join the family cooking roster, cooking a few times during the week while the various evening activities happen - football,ultimate frisbee,debating,music etc

We stayed 2 weeks with Rachel, Guy, Elliot and Mocca and had a wonderful time there. Every day there was something different to do and the work was appropriate. We talked about all the stuff to do for the next day, on the evenings and they all had very good advices on places and activities to do on the south island, which was a great help! They… read more

We stayed with Rachael, Guy and Elliot for just a few weeks, but we so enjoyed their lovely home and great company. They are great at communicating expectations, and encouraging plenty of time for workawayers to enjoy the city. The view from their back deck is stunning, and it's super easy to catch the bus right into town. While we were there, we… read more

We hosted Lilly and Carrot for just over a week, we enjoyed many conversations around the dinner table, did the quiz and enjoyed many laughs too.

They ook me in to their home after a strange winter in Wellington post covid. For me it became so much more than a Workaway. They are so kind and welcoming and are such a lovely family unit, always inviting you to play games or do the daily stuff quiz :) They always left a variety of jobs and were super audiences to whatever you felt like cooking… read more

Hannah joined our family for almost 6 weeks with energy and was enthusiastic . She is a great cook and willing and able to take on new tasks. Hannah can happily entertain herself and enjoy solo time but is equally happy at the table playing card with the family.

We had a wonderful month with the Mance/Meikle clan! The family is engaging, active, funny, thoughtful, and very helpful: there's rarely a dull moment in the house. Dinners were always fun, as we learned a lot about how a modern family functions and thrives in the midst of endless extracurriculars, phone distractions, school stresses, etc... We… read more

Our whole family enjoyed Jack & Olga's company. By the time they arrived to us Jack was clean shaven and Olga had adjusted to NZ colder climate.

Meghan is quiet by nature and her English is of a good standard and continued to develop each day. Any job was done to a high standard and she was able to show initiative. Her happy nature meant she fitted easily in to our family yet also took the time to independently explore th earea.

Rachael and Guy’s family were a privilege to be a part of for two weeks. I was in town to visit my brother who did not have space for me. Staying in Roseneath was perfect, I had my own space, my own things to occupy me and plenty of time to spend with my brother in the evenings.

Amy was willing to give anything ago, even if it took her out of her comfort zone, trying Ultimate frisbee and picking up the chickens were examples. Amy is hard working, brings energy and fun to the house plus also some lovely musical sounds. She is adaptable yet happily self sufficient too.
