Einar has been with us a five weeks time in march 2020. He took over two building-projects : an outside cement-floor and a wooden terrasse-floor. Beautyful improvements for our house. Einar is used to work in an efficient self-employed way. Due to his routined baking-abilities we always had delicious whole-meal-bread and he prepared quite often… read more

It was nice of Tony to take me out fishing and all was good, the food, accommodation and all, except one small but important detail: I like dogs, but not when they bite me. The first time one of the three dogs bit me, I made it clear that this was not acceptable. The answer I got was that there was nothing they could do to prevent it. However the… read more

A nice place in a rural setting not too far away from Whangarei which is a fairly big city by NZ standards. Being a handyman I did some windows renovation work, sanding and scraping off old paint and I was happy to give a small contribution towards restoring the cottage. The food was healthy and nourishing and I was given coffee and breakfast… read more

I wish to leave a positive feedback; a real pleasant family small farm experience far away from the city, but with a local pub not too far away, that is maybe 5 or 6 km. Well behaved cute kids that were a joy to be around. Being interested in farming myself I learned quite a few things from Jason. The food was excellent and non-vegetarian which… read more

Lovely guy who can make amazing bread!
Very handy guy to have around, doesn't mind working and cleans up after himself. Stayed with us over a month with no troubles, no problem with my children and big dogs. Would have him back anytime.

Good solid hosts whom I can recommend warmly. Work was reasonable and easy. The accommodation excellent, good bed and all clean and nice. We usually all ate dinner together and the food was great and nourishing. For lunch and breakfast I did my own prep. No stinginess or complaints of any kind.

After reading Dean's raving feedback about me I have to try to respond in kind. However, the last star I save for when the cleanliness level has been raised even higher.If you like old buildings with a soul and don't mind a bit of construction site character, then this is the place for you. My bedroom and the bathroom was clean and the bed was… read more

What a great chap Einar is!. I was lucky to have Einar contact me when i was deeply involved in a hard, technical, big reroofing job here at my project. This was doubly problematic for me, as I was "inbetween" booked workawayers to help me, and stuck here on my own. But then, along came Einar out of the blue, and what a great difference he made… read more

Good, decent folks who took god care of me the week I spent at their hill resort. Food and board very good. Nice and relaxing surroundings with a great view of the coast. The work was mostly weeding and outside tidying up. Had been looking forward to some carpentry/building work, but that was no longer on the agenda. I would no doubt recommend the… read more

I think it should go withpout saying that when somebody expects you to do manual labor, they should provide protective gear like ear muffs etc without balking. I regrettfully had to leave before the time I had initially indicated and this was not to my hosts liking I believe. This is my first year as a workawayer and I am learning that every… read more

I would love to give a positive feedback, but I'm afraid I cannot do that. The comfort level is simply way too low for that. I love the ourdoors and nature and I even love dogs. However, when the dogs have fleas and the fleas then attack you so that you cannot sleeep at night it becomes a problem.

Einar stayed with us for about 4 weeks, part of it during the Christmas holidays and part of it with us in residence. He was very polite and respectful, exactly how he described himself in his introduction. Einar was very helpful in decisions we had to take regarding some construction and preparing for guests to arrive. We highly recommend Einar… read more
