Descrição
We are not wired to sit around; having completed all the renovation projects ourselves on our character home, we would genuinely enjoy helping you with your projects. We're in good shape, and also enjoy hiking, cycling, photography and learning about new areas and cultures. We focus on the positive aspects of the country and people wherever we go.

Steve and Janet were a tremendous help to us and very pleasant company. We had not long returned from a 4 month trip overseas so hadn't quite sorted out kitchen, garden etc. They jumped in with enthusiasm and skill in taming the garden, turning all the compost, helping with meals, shredding documents for us etc. The garden is looking amazing now… read more

An enjoyable, manageable and rewarding workaway! Ashburton was not originally on our list of places to stay, but we're glad we did; a tidy little town with a great domain, and access to mountain lakes and stoney Pacific beaches. Kate and Antony were very welcoming hosts; we had a spacious, clean and comfortable room; and it was a pleasure tackling… read more

Steve and Janet were great company. Janet did an awesome job helping me with the backing for the local A&P show. We did well with our baking as well ❤️. While I was away for work they looked after my wee house, dogs and chooks. Janet reorganised my linen cupboard for me and they both did a great job painting the outside of the house. Thank you… read more

Getting a slice of Kiwi rural life, and Lyn's hospitality was great! Lucking in to be in Omakau for the annual A & P show was a bonus, especially since we got to help prepare, then sample, all the award-winning baking! Lyn's generosity, and easy-going- no-stress- welcoming manner was a delight; we happily helped out with some projects for three… read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our three weeks here. We particularly enjoyed the following: Elly's cooking and baking; Werner's patience and instructions; our own private room; a comfortable bed; outdoor shower; hot tub evening; countryside setting; amusing dogs and cats; no-stress project assignment; humming birds; use of swimming pool; in charge of camp… read more

We enjoyed our experience with Dante, Sol and Ayelin near Lago Puelo, and appreciate being included in their family for two weeks. Our projects included building a 4-vehicle carport, 3 sets of outdoor steps, and the foundation of an 8m log bridge over a creek on their property.

A beautiful charismatic couple that inspire anyone with their stories and their love to life! We can't thank them enough for their help and their willing drive to work and share with us. We instantly match with them and definitely consider part of our family. We would love for them to come back anytime they want and we recommend them fully! We… read more

'Las tres amigas', together with their friendly 4 dogs and 4 cats, have a charismatic passion for their project and life which is contagious. It was a pleasure for us to help them; we found a variety of tasks to do, and still had plenty of time to explore; they generously provided us rides into Boquete in the afternoons. The food and the… read more

It would be hard to say too many good things about Steve and Janet but since this is their first workaway review I am going to try. They were with us for nearly 3 weeks. During that time they were amazingly helpful with a room remodel. We know that often we have to train and closely supervise workaway labor, Steve and Janet didnt need this. They… read more

We believe we were very fortunate to have our first WorkAway with Chris and SuArr. They were friendly, easy to get along with and talk to. When home, they both cooked good meals; otherwise we had use of the kitchen to prepare our own meals. Our room was cosy and comfortable; we had drawers and closet for our things to let us feel moved in. We were… read more
