Description
We are a couple (empty nesters) and live, along with Ruby our labradoodle, in Meadowbank, central Auckland. This is an ideal location for workawayers who want to be close to the city or the beach with easy access via public transport. Steve and I are a professional couple who work Monday to Friday. We have a warm sunny architecturally designed home with lovely garden surrounds and pool. We welcome workawayers who have experience of painting (windows and doors) and are happy to assist with gardening and maintenance around our home and maybe even walk Ruby at one of our beautiful local parks. We have a large double studio for our workawayers. We will feed you well! We welcome people 25 years and older and especially couples. work well with us.

Alison and Steve were our first experience with workaway and it was a pleasure to stay with them. They gave us all the instructions needed to do the tasks and helped us with paperwork. Our missions during the week were gardening, cleaning, painting and taking care of lovely Ruby. Thank you for your help in our arrival in NZ !

I stayed 5 days at Alison's and it was the perfect mission for me. I had to take care of the two dogs while they were gone do some gardening and cleaning.
The communication with Alison was easy, very clear and she was always super responsive.
I really had a great time... I can only recommend staying at Alison!

What a fantastic introduction to the world of WorkAway! Alison and Steve immediately welcomed us into their home and family.

I had a nice stay at Alison, Steve & Tom's place in November 2022. There was an Italian workaway couple in the meantime at their place too which was nice because I didn't have to work alone. The job wasn't hard and the meals we got was delicious! I can 100% recommend them 🥰 thank you again to let me stay at yours!
