Descrição

Kia ora!

My name is Linda and I am a 65-year-old art retired curator living on a coastal property with a big garden and old house which I am renovating developing. I am a vegetarian.

Ōrere Point is a small village of 300 people. It is very isolated, a long way (70km, over one hour's drive) from any shops, supermarkets, cafes and banks, so not suitable as your first destination when you arrive from overseas and need to set up banking etc.. There are no public transport links to Ōrere Point. The nearest train and bus services are 45 minutes away by car. Confirm that you have your own transport, car, motorcycle or van, when you first contact me about volunteering at my place.

I am looking for help with building, property maintenance, landscaping and gardening so please let me know what you can do (and have done before as a Workawayer or on your own property). Four hours a day I expect you will work each day in exchange for food and accommodation, and in the summer it is preferable that you work in the morning before it gets too hot.

I do not wish to host people who smoke and if your diet is very specific, please make sure that you bring the food with you when you arrive.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Algo mais...

Beautiful beach and river nearby which are excellent for swimming. Also great for kayaking - I have a fishing kayak available to borrow. There is a small shop, a library and health clinic but no supermarket in Orere Point (it is a really small place, far away from any city or town) so it is best to bring your own special foods if you have dietary needs.

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 … read more

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 … read 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 … read more

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

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 … read more

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. Soon … read more

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 … read more

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 … read more

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 … read more

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.

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!
