It is definitely one of my favourite!
Orere point is a very special area, thanks to Linda and Rory's hospitality l got to stay in this quiet, peaceful and beautiful place. Enjoy sunrise, sunset, starry sky, swimming in ocean, relaxing walks and wonderful company everyday.

Linda supports me a lot in daily needs and through positive words. I am lucky enough to share time with them, meet other interesting people here and still have time to myself for little adventures or just relax.
When I close my eyes, I can still see the shiny diamond ocean and your smiling face...
So grateful for the experience.Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Ruby)
Ruchi is absolutely amazing. We wanted her to stay forever. Such initiative and so hardworking. Really lovely to have around. She completely transformed a weedy overgrown garden and always helped out in the kitchen with dishes and cooking. A total sweetheart who makes beautiful watercolours, and has a lovely nature. She really enjoyed being beside

A super useful Workawayer with lots of energy and ideas. Able to work without supervision, and with plenty of intitiative to see what needed to be done. Paul has a wealth of experience to draw on in maintenance and gardening, and is also interested in others and their activities. A very good Workawayer to host, and I would happily host again.

I have just completed 2 lovely weeks of workawaying with Linda. My work consisted of gardening and handyman tasks. Orere Point is a beautiful peaceful part of the north island and yet only about an hour from Auckland. The quality of my accommodation was second to none as were the meals in both quality and quantity as well as variety. But more

Linda is the greatest host you could have. She helped us a lot during our first two weeks in NZ, and we felt truly supported. We couldn't have asked for more. We gardened for her, which was nice and satisfying, and it gave us a chance to connect with the beautiful environment around us
We loved having Alessia and Claudia to stay at Orere Point. They arrived on Boxing Day, and fitted right in, helping to weed the overgrown garden, and making delicious salads. They are both lovely, friendly young women with great senses of humour that we very much enjoyed hosting. They are honest and responsible and very trustworthy.

What a wonderful woman Jeannette is! She transformed my weedy, overgrown garden, and was always helping out in the kitchen despite the hot weather, and lack of sleep from the mosquitos! She is very independent with her own rental car and tent, and lives in harmony with nature with very simple needs. A delight to have around, we really enjoyed her

Linda already has a 100% recommendation on this platform, but I would give her 200% (or even more – up to infinity, hehe)! She’s an incredibly cool lady with a great sense of dry humor, a generous heart, and a sharp mind. Get ready to share an interesting life surrounded by lots of her creative friends – it seems like Linda knows half of Auckland!
… read more She’s also happy to share her knowledge about art, culture, and history or help you get started with your NZ trip by offering great travel tips. Besides being such an outstanding and welcoming host, the village of Orere Point is a gem itself. It has beautiful beaches, the warm Pacific Ocean, and stunning views of green hills with cute sheep. It’s wonderfully peaceful up there – you can hear birds singing all day long and the sound of waves right in your bedroom. The work includes, for example, weeding the banks, planting, cleaning outside, or anything else related to your own skills. Afternoons are free for whatever you feel like doing: kayaking, swimming, fishing, or visiting the local general store or the little library. I highly recommend every Workawayer spend some time with this amazing person in this wonderful village. Many thanks for everything, Linda!Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Lina)
An absolute marvel, this young woman can do anything.
Lina is probably the best Workawayer that I have ever hosted. She planned an event for me, organised the signage, designed a beautiful invitation, and worked very hard at the actual event to make sure it was a great success. She also designed real estate "For Sale" signs, tended the garden and

Absolutely trustworthy, full of initiative and drive, she should be running her own business! She also has a very sunny disposition, always laughing and smiling, and very generous and kind to others. A delight to have around. She can cope with any situation travelling in NZ can throw at her, and is a highly motivated self-starter. Thank you, thank you, thank you, vielen Dank Lina!

Neo came with his girlfriend Mara, and they are a lovely couple. They worked very hard and transformed my very weedy garden into a pristine state. They were very complimentary about my food, but I was not able to feed them very much. They cooked for themselves and looked after the place very well. They liked swimming and doing nature walks.

This delightful couple were amazing! They only stayed four days but they did masses of work in the garden, shifting a huge pile of weeds and tidying up the garden and driveway. As I had to work in town, they did it all using their own initiative. I was delighted by the result and found them very pleasant company for the two dinners and car rides I

Stan stayed for 20 days but got sick and was anxious about his health so wasn’t able to work much in the garden though he arranged some stones and did some weeding. I had to work in town so my friends looked after him and found him pleasant with a good appetite for the food they cooked. He helped my friend Kate with her computer and to clean the

Linda and Rory gave us the best start in NZ we could imagine! They picked us up from the airport, fed us , send us to bed and let us recover from jetlag for about a week, just housesitting her friends place. Was the best place to stay and get everything organised for our trip. The times she popped in, we had nice dinner and talks and she got us a

A few weeks later we had the pleasure to housesit at her lovely place in Orere Point. A really lovely place directly at the sea. We got the chance to stay, do some Work on our Van and had good fun creating a flower and plant patch in front of the house as well as cutting some trees.
We really enjoyed the company of Rory with interesting stories about his writing and Adrian had a great swim and rock climb in the ocean with him!
Thanks a lot for everything we really enjoyed the time and stay in contact. Hopefully we will get the chance to stay with you again this year!

Linda is more than an excellent host, but became our kiwi family. We spent a lovely month there working on her garden and building some steps, while also building our own campervan. We arrived before Christmas and celebrated together with her lovely friends. The neighborhood is calm and the beach view is amazing!

Olly was a fantastic worker who transformed my weed-infested, overgrown section into a neat and tidy garden. He is a meticulous person who works well alongside others but is equally good following his own direction. Highly recommended.
Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Armin)
Armin is a fantastic young man - very capable with his carpentry skills and a disciplined, focussed and goal-oriented worker. I really enjoyed having him to stay, and he got a lot done in a short period of time. Thanks for everything Armin!
