I stayed with Alison for two weeks. It was an wonderful stay. Working three days a week leaves you entire days to explore Paraparaumu and around. Wellington is very close by car or train.

The experience Alison's home was very positive. We work 3 days a week and 4 days off, so we had a lot of free time to do other things.
Alison is a very busy woman, so she gives you a lot of freedom to get in and out of her house. She made us feel at home. The meals were alright.

Alison was a nice and easy-going host. I mostly helped her in the garden, fixing the driveway and walking her lovely little dog and got delicious food for lunch and dinner. She also made sure I try some typical NZ things and let me have some spare time during the rare sunny moments. She is very engaged in the local community and creates her own… read more
