Absolute treasures! Yvonne worked on the land and she is such a hard worker. She motored through everything! Our land is looking very spruced up now. David spent time with Simon, my husband, and his knowledge of motors, electric circuitry and all things mechanical was so valuable. They were a very useful team!

Sorry for the late feedback!

I had two really good weeks at Simon and Rosie's.
The work wasn't really interesting but neither hard to do.
After work they sometimes showed me some places in Tauranga or let me lend their bike so I could explore the city by myself.
I got much time to relax and they cooked lots of really good food all the time… read more
