Description
Hi there, my name is Petra and I am living on the beautiful Coromandel, in the middle of the bush. I am a German who came to live in New Zealand 18 years ago. My place is located approximately 25 km from Whitianga and it's recommended to have a car. Otherwise you'll be "trapped" here. I have a large property to look after and I'd appreciate people who would like to come and help with things like gardening, maintenance and small building projects.

Last April a huge storm caused the river to rise and everything here, including my house, got flooded. There is extensive damage everywhere and even after almost one year there's heaps to do. If you're not afraid to do some physical work, please contact me.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Luis & Estrella)

Another absolutely excellent and uplifting experience for me. Estrella and Luis are a wonderful, confident young couple who stayed with me for 4 weeks. Both are hard working and don't shy away from things they haven't done before. I took the risk of trusting them to look after my place for almost 3 of those weeks while I went to visit my family in… read more

We spent four weeks at Petra's. It's been a great experience. The most of the tasks were outdoor, which is a pleasure because of the great and isolated place where Petra lives. After work you can have a swim in the river...wonderful!!! And if you enjoy looking at the stars, this place is fantastic!

We shared the house with her. We had our own… read more

What an absolute pleasure to have Sarka and Jonas here. Both have a "can-do" attitude, worked like crazy and no job was too hard. I love the fact that you don't have to supervise them because they show initiative and work independently. They are also exceptionally good company!!! Sad to see them go :-(

I definitely enjoyed those 2 weeks between the north of NZ, East of Germany and the middle of nowhere ;o)
Petra is a woman fair, very brave and who love to joke, so sharing her house has been very great for me. A good experience for people who likes isolated place and ready to work !
Thanks for all Petra !

We stayed 3 weeks with Petra and Jo. It was a great time in a beautiful piece of earth.
Every day Petra and Jo cooked delicious meals and were interested if we still are ok.
There always have been themes to chat about with them and we had a lot of fun too.
The work we had to do have been a little challenging because we did it the first time,… read more

Petra and Joe gave us a lot of freedom and great company. They were very flexible and we really enjoyed spending time out in the bush. They also have a really adorable cat.

We had a nice stay at petras and joachims house. Sadly it was winter time, so we could not take a bath in the river near by. And it also rained a lot, so we could not do so much work.
We could use Petras computer which was very good. A propper comuter is really missing while beeing on travel. and also petra took us to some gatherings of her… read more

It was great fun having Elizabeth and Kaare here with us. I'm still amazed how brave it is of Kaare to travel around like this. Hope they've made it home safely!

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Julius & Thessa)

Thessa and Julius are a wonderful young couple. Both worked very hard, no matter what the job and never counted hours. We enjoy having people like them who are able to think for themselves and work independently. On top they are very adaptable and good company.
The two stayed with us at a time when Jo was very ill and we had to spend quite some… read more

Staying with Petra and Joachim was definitely one of our best experiences in NZ!! They are just great!! We spent three weeks with them and enjoyed their company and their confidence in our work! We had the chance to build raised beds, a gazebo and other things. They took us for amazing tours on the Coromandel and to Coromandel Town, which was… read more

Petras and Joachims place is really a paradise, out in the lovely nature, next to a beautiful river, a big nice garden and a wonderful self built house. Right from the beginning we felt very free, to organize our working time. Petra showed us some places around the area. She even took us to the school, where she is teaching. Joachim told us a lot… read more

We had a very nice time in Petra and Jo's place. You can learn lots of things if you listen carefully to Jo and he will be eager to speak. Petra has a good sense of humor and she will make you fill as if you were at home. If you work hard, you will have very nice meals and maybe some water from India! In Coromandel there are a lot of beatifull… read more

Lorenc and Ian stayed with us for 2 weeks. They are fantastic, fun-loving and happy to give any type of job a go! Great work and good company! The boys made a bush track through steep and difficult terrain - a job that will remind us for many years about the time they spent here!!! Thanx heaps and all the best for your trip around the world! Petra… read more
