We were only with Damon for a week and could quite happily have stayed for several more.. but I think immigration might have objected. Damon joked that we should just overstay and the govt would pay for the deportation flight !

My stay with Dhara and Harideva Harideva ranks with the top workaway experiences i have had. The location and peceful surrounds combined with the wildlife and their animals...in particular Simba the ginger cat, made our stay all the better. We embraced Harideva's Kirtan meditation, although I personally found it took some time to get used to two… read more

Our stay with Ryan, Emma and family was all too short and we would have loved to stay longer, however the South island ferry was prebooked. We were made to feel very welcome and happily mixed with all four lovely kids and Ella the dog. In return Ryan set me some interesting and practical tasks, trusted me with his tools and time flew by all too… read more

Another fantastic experience for us with Robin and Pennie. Really nice and understanding couple who stayed with us for nearly a week. They were happy to provide their own food and work less . We managed to share a couple of meals which was easy company and we highly recommend this couple. Both are solid workers who helped us with building and… read more

My stay at Andrea's with my partner Pennie was for nearly two weeks and I have come away with happy memories of a multi cultural mix of people, clay cob and straw ! With so many workers (sixteen or eighteen if the kids were included) Andrea did a fantastic job of keeping us all on track and productive - not an easy task given the diverse nature of… read more

It was a great experience to host Robin. He was helpful and performed tasks to a high level using his skills and taking care to do the job well. Robin helped create a beautiful artwork on the cob wall, following the design with care. He worked really well with the other workaways and showed initiative to overcome challenges. Thanks Robin!

We had a really good time working with Laura to tame her lush Gardens on Whaiheke and Rakino. Both islands were fabulous places to be and the work was very rewarding. Laura was very kind to us and she is such an easy person to get on with. I enjoyed the many chats we had together and as my first NZ workaway it helped expand my local and national… read more

Robin and penny came to me first on one island and then travelled with me to my second property on an off grid / no shops more remote island. I was impressed with their ability and willingness to get stuck in to most any job. And do it well. I was very confident that they could be relied upon . I say hooray for more mature workaways !

This workaway was my first ever teaching experience, and I have to admit to being a bit anxious at the the start. I should not have worried though as Paul and his fantastic team of teachers made it a rewarding and enjoyable experience. The kids were great and so engaging and our fellow workawayers were great also, so all in all a fantastic… read more

This was my first workaway, and proved to be a great experience all round. Myself and my partner Pennie felt fully immersed into a working farm community which we could never have done just as tourists. We had regular contact with Chris and Ali and felt well supported by them and their lovely staff, in particular Saoury and Malish. Even though we… read more

Robin & Pennie came to volunteer on the Farm in October-November 2024 and stayed with us for 2 weeks. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit and wish that they could have stayed longer. They blended in well with the local staff and the other volunteers and helped with a number of activities, but in partciular guiding visitors around the farm, teaching… read more
