Ajuda
On the orchard we need various help at different times of the year around the property as there is always something to be done.

Soon it is harvest time for our Chestnuts trees which involves collecting washing and grading the nuts. We also have a number of Feijoa trees and need to pick fruit from these in April/May.

Other times of the year we always have mowing, weeding and other property work to be done at various times. In 2019 after the chestnut harvest is over we have a number of trees to cut down so we can clear our house site and make room for some avocado trees that we will pant over coming years. Occasionally we may need help in and around the house.

We had Mollie and Alex stay with us for 2 weeks and they were fantastic guests.
They did any amazing job with anything we asked them to do and were incredible with the boys. Pete enjoyed being able to talk about music with Alex. We are really looking forward to seeing more of them while they stay close by and work with us for the chestnut season.

We were lucky enough to have Izzie and Jesse stay with us for a week in February. They are a great couple and were great company to have around. They happily did any work that us needed and were amazing with both boys. We would welcome them back anytime and hope they have a fantastic New Zealand adventure.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Nicolas & Maud) para o anfitrião

When we left Cheryl and Peter, we had only one regret : not stay longer ! We really felt like a part of the family. At work, during the meals or the shared moments, Cheryl and Peter were always available and concerned about us. We liked pass time with their two boys and have walk around. Even if it was just a week, it was a really good time during… read more

Nicholas & Maud stayed with us for a week or so a number of weeks ago. They were a pleasure to have stay and showed enthusiasm and a strong work ethic with anything that needed to be done. Our 2 year old son still asks where they are and sings his version of the nursery rhyme Maud sang to him. We wish them well on their adventures in NZ and life… read more

It was my first real workaway experience and it couldn't be better. The family accepted my last minute call for staying at their place (as the place I was going first didn't respond to me any more). They have been very responsive, as soon as I sent letter to them, I got a call from Cheryl. I felt like a part of the family and was welcomed nicely.… read more

We've stayed with Cheryl, Peter and the boys for about three weeks and really enjoyed our time! We were the first guests to stay in the newly build pod/sleepout and loved it! It was nice to have our own space though you don't really need it with as lovely people as they are. Six days a week we helped Peter in the orchard with several different… read more
