Description
Hi folks,
We have availability now for 1 person urgently.
Other dates available are:
5th April 1 person 2 weeks
18th April 1 person 3 weeks
2nd May - 1 person 2-3 weeks.
We have a fun, friendly, & relaxed backpacker in Greymouth. The gateway to New Zealand's Wild West Coast! Our backpackers is a beautiful old building, ex-monastery 100m from middle of town with a nice big garden with hammocks, fireplace and BBQ area. We also have a resident dog called Cosmo and a cat called Jessie.
All the hostel rooms are animal themed.
We enjoy having people come and stay as this gives us the opportunity to learn all about your different cultures. We find this very enriching. Particularly learning about where people come from and their way of life, language and food preferences. Similarly, it is a good opportunity for you to learn from us as New Zealanders. We are described as a "home away from home" by many of our visitors. Some come back for a second or third stay! Good fun all round.
The help is 2-3 hours a day. Mainly household tasks such as cleaning, vacuuming and folding. You will need to have a NZ work visa.
We are looking for people who have a positive attitude towards life and are happy to share this with guests and fellow workers.
If you fit this description, we would absolutely love to hear from you.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Harry and Lynda

This is a beautiful, cozy hostel where you will feel at home immediately. I really enjoyed my stay here, especially because I could work at the reception and gain a good insight into how to run and maintain a backpackers. Thank you Matt and Myrie for this great opportunity and the lovely time I could spend at your place!

Thanks so much for hosting me, Matt and Myrielle! I had a very positive experience for my first workaway exchange. I would definitly stop there again if I find myself on the West Coast again. The work was not too hard, and a very fair exchange for the accomodation. Cheers!

Matt & Myrie are both great and I enjoyed my week there. They both take pride in their work and it shows. Everything is clean and organized and it is one of the better backpackers/hostels I have stayed at. I would definitely recommend a stop as you're heading up/down the west coast. Good luck with everything Matt & Myrie, I can't wait to see… read more

Hi Matt and Myrrie! Thanks again for the ten days I spent at with you. I met some very nice travellers there, and that what exactly what I expected from your place :) It was a relaxing place to stay and to relax on the West Coast before being "on the road again". I wish you all the best with your accomodation!

It was a pleasure to work with Matt & Myrie for 3 weeks...they were so friendly & welcoming, I wish I could have stayed longer.
