Hébergement
We provide a private king room with your own bathroom in our spacious country house. All meals are provided by us. I like to cook but I'm also happy for others to cook for us, I love to learn new recipes. A lot of the food served is local, either from the farm or local fruit/vegetable market. Our house is 3km in land so its very peaceful here.

I had planned to stay for two weeks with Ian and Louise, but ended staying four weeks because I was having such a good time.
Work could be hard but fun, with scratches on my arms and blisters on my hand. With a good exhausting feeling at the end of a day of working. You don’t need to have experience, everything is explained on the moment. Really… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Brandon)

Brandon stayed with us for two weeks and was polite and respectful. We loved having him stay as he was very independent and willing to help out with anything we asked. Brandon's main roll was in the citrus nursery but also helped me out cooking dinner or doing my odd jobs when I caught a bug from one of our kids! Thanks for all you help Brandon.

Cannot say enough good things about this experience, and the family! I had intended to stay for a week but added another one. Louise and Ian are super easy going, fun and gregarious. The kids are charming and have lots of energy. They love their legos! The work isn't anything gruelling, and the setting is peaceful and idyllic. If you're… read more

We had Shannon, Ashley, Rachel and Zara come and stay with us over new year.
I was a little apprehensive before they arrived as we've never had that many people stay before, but they were brilliant guests! They were tidy and respectful, fitting into our family life well, always chipping in with dishes and asking to help were they could. They also… read more

As a group of four girls we found our stay with Ian, Louise, the boys and all the animals very comfortable and educational! They welcomed us with a feast and some Maori language.
For work we helped guide garden plans and put some of them to action. We also learned some skills in the nursery like thinning, deshooting and budding!
For fun we were… read more

Amy came and stayed with us for around 3 weeks in December, the kids are still asking about her and miss her more than any other Workawayer so far!
Amy was a very independent worker who used her initiative all of the time. A rough wish list of jobs were written for her and they were all checked off- and more! Amy is very easy to have in the house… read more

Our stay with Louise, Ian, Zac, Jasper, PusPus and Golly was fantastic. They are a lovely family and their house is large enough to have time to yourself and time with the family as you'd like. The working hours were fair and there were plenty of random tasks to keep us busy since we couldn't work in the orchard due to rain and flooding.… read more
