Descripción
Hello, we are a well travelled middle aged couple keen to carry on travelling through sharing experiences and stories with travellers that stay with us and hopefully become part of our family. We welcomed a number of travellers (couchsurfers, hitchhikers) in our days and have enjoyed that a lot. We are busy in house and garden. We have a vegetable garden and a green house that feeds us very well. Apart from that there is always maintenance and painting. We love remembering anyone who stayed with us by looking at their project or the produce that is growing extra well because of their efforts.
We live in Oamaru , steampunk and penguin capital of the world 😀 not too far from lookout point and the botanical gardens.

I stayed with Petra and Russell for 2 weeks and a bit, at the beginning of April and I had a wonderful time.
Apart from morning quizzes, garden work and Jelly making, I also learned a lot about Oamaru, saw penguins, filled up my candy stash and had lots of fun playing cards.
If I'll ever come back to NZ (probably… read more
Stayed with us for 6 weeks in total. They helped painting some sheds and fences and were a great help sorting and cataloging the books for our library. They enjoyed spending time with our son who was visiting at the time and friends. Both are polite and open to give any job a go.
They are A+ students from Germany. Both topped… read more
So great that the originally planned 2 weeks turned into 6. We were treated like part of the family from the day we arrived, taken to parties and meals with friends. They have such a nice garden where they grow so much fruit and vegetables. Petra made so much delicious fresh food ( one of our… read more
Have fun in Queenstown.
I stayed with them for 2 weeks and time flew so fast. Petra and Russell gave me a warm welcome from the first day. They took us to various places and I really enjoyed it. I appreciate their kindness.
