Description
Kia ora ra. I live in Rotorua having completed my home transformation. I have 1 dog, Te Uira a Labrador cross. I am with He Tuatoatanga, the Maori Spiritual Warrior School which is my past my present and my future.
Here, I am in the thick of my Maori community. These are my grandmother's people and mine. A very loving and caring community with hearts that are open to the world. As it should be.
All meals are provided as part of the reciprocity. So is a nice cosy bed. There's usually an abundance of fruit for you to help yourself to during the day and the lemon tree is always giving! There's plenty of good coffee.
As indicated we work 5 hours a day and for 5 days and then take 2 days off for you to go and explore or simply rest. It's a very relaxed pace. I can give you a list of tasks and then leave you to do it at your own pace. Sometimes we may all go off together to enjoy the local scenery, the hot water treasures or out to the coast. Fish and chips on the way.
Hopefully you can use your own initiative to help me out around my home, garden and backyard. If you like to cook, it would be a bonus for me to enjoy the experience! If you are artistic and have flare in the garden - then let's create. I can teach you a little about Papatuanuku (Mother Earth) and what she has to offer - in my backyard or on a forest walk. I have lots to share. Looking forward to meeting you.
Rotorua is all about thermal activity. There are hot steam baths everywhere. The other treasure here are the lakes. So there's the hot and there's cold. If you are a water baby, then you will be in your element. Maori culture abounds and it is rich in beauty. Just across the road from me is an amazing village - a great opportunity to explore.
My home is a calm and relaxed environment and you will be warmly welcomed.
Nga mihi!

TIME OFF? Work work work. Haha it's a joke! I have a mountain bike you can explore the area on. Take the dogs for walks in the Redwoods across the road. Swim in the lake. Bike to the hot pools. Explore and absorb The Nature. If you have a validated licence, then my vehicle can drive us to the beach and back!

The jobs we had to do were simple gardening tasks, painting a garage or household duties. Candice provided delicious food for us and sometimes we cooked for all of us or we cooked together. The time with Candice in… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Fatima)
It was a pleasure to host this lovely young lady. Despite her size, she's incredibly strong and was an immense help with moving large bits of furniture into storage. A great team worker and really lovely to work with. Fatima has initiative and one of the best listening skills I have ever come across. That is, I only needed to explain once and then… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Jack) pour l'hôte
My experience with Candice was refreshing. She welcomed me into her home with open arms and it was a privilege to help out. The jobs were pretty simple and she caters to everyone's ability - striking the balance between jobs that need done and jobs that you can really learn from. I'll never forget my experience at the Maori Spiritual Warrior… read more

Definitely on a winner here if Jack is in your space. A great team leader (of 2 anyway) and takes the initiative. Only have to explain once what is required and then I can go back to my paperwork and my knitting. Seriously, Jack just takes everything on board and does the job efficiently and quickly. We had a lot of moving furniture and placement… read more

Tuve la suerte de poder ayudar a Candice. Trabaje a cambio de estadia y comida pero la verdad que Candice me dio mucho mas que eso, me ayudo un monton con mi proyecto de viaje y estoy muy agradecido por ello. Fue muy paciente con mi poco Ingles, incluso me enseño a soltar bastante mi habla. Su casa es muy bonita y organizada, me cocino muy buena… read more

I stayed only one week with Candice but it was enough to feel like in a family home. I enjoyed learning a little bit about beekeeping, having a chance to discover the Maori Culture, sharing good meals. Work is never boring, the most important thing for Candice is to make you feel good and confy.
