I had an amazing three weeks with Dale and John in Makarau. They are both kind and easy going people, who welcomed me like a family member and invited me to join their family events.
My tasks involved protecting plants on the bank, feeding chickens, and cleaning the house, all of which were manageable.
We talked and laughed a lot, and enjoyed… read more

I stayed with Aaron and Rachel for four weeks and helped them with various exciting tasks, including building fences, planting trees and feeding cows. They also taught me how to solve the 4x4 and 5x5 Rubik's cube, which I really enjoyed.
The cabin I stayed in was comfortable and the view of Mount Taranaki from their place was stunning.

Shuntaro was a very valuable member of our Workaway team during the five weeks he was with us on our orchard. He was quite happy to climb ladders and trees to achieve the results we were looking for, getting rid of dead wood and creepers from the many places they were growing. He also was adept at lawnmowing, leaf raking and water blasting!

I stayed with Lizzie for 2+ weeks and experienced a lot of new things.
She was very intelligent, experienced, and gave me a lot of advice. Thanks to her, I went through personal growth steps.
Also, she was a great cook and I enjoyed every thing she cooked.
Thank you Lizzie for having me.
