Description
We are a German family, living in NZ since 18 years, with 3 children, who have left home and are at university or working. We have 2 dogs, 4 heep 🐑 and started building an off grid house in the Far North in Kerikeri. If not building, Stefan works as a teacher, and I am running a small food cart, but right now we are mainly busy building, and preparing the property for more planting.
We can accommodate 1-2 people in your own cute little caravan. Life for all of us is still camp life, and we currently have an amazing outdoor shower and a compost toilet. Our place is ideal to park your own van. Stefan has all the tools and knowledge to help you beautify your van, while here. When the caravan is occupied, we can also provide a cosy sleeping platform ( last 3 photos) or a tent with all bedding included.
We provide 3 meals a day and can accommodate a range of dietary requirements. We usually cook fresh every evening and like to spend some time around the bonfire - if weather conditions allow for it.
We have 2 E bikes that we are happy to share with our guests to explore the area and if we don’t need it, also allow usage of our car.
We have had quite a few workawayers over the last 12 months, helping us with renovations, house building and garden work. We always had a great time and are very inclusive.
At this stage we can host 1-2 people.

We stayed with Stefan and Konny for a week and had a very nice time. The work was very interesting and fair. There was the best food and we had a lot of good conversations (ask about the pizza! ;)). From there you can go skydiving within walking distance and with the e-bikes you can quickly explore all the waterfalls and the town.

Nace stayed with us for 4 weeks and helped with the building of our house up North. He had good skills and expanded on them during his stay. Nace also helped me in my food truck and remained calm under stress. He fitted in easily with the other workawayers and we wish him well on his future travels.

I stayed with Konny and Stefan for 10 days and had a really good time. Great communication, good talks, good food and it's obvious from the beginning when you have the free time to explore the area, which is very nice for your planning.

Konny and Stefan were fantastic hosts. Very generous, kind, and knowledgable. We had great conversations, great food, and great experiences around Northland. Their two dogs were very friendly and well behaved. The compost loo and outdoor shower were better than we expected 😂 We thoroughly recommend this Workaway! 😊
