Description

We stayed with this lovely family over Christmas and New Year's and they really made us feel like a part of their big family. We were included in their traditions.
The whole family is very welcoming and nice so you feel like you have a second home.

I spent a month with the family and it was wonderful! Everyone - from parents to kids to grandparents to animals to friends - is super nice and welcoming, you'll feel at home as soon as you've got there. Sometimes I wondered how so many lovely people can live in one place ;) My tasks were varied and no day was the same, there's always something to… read more

Our week at the farm was interesting and fun. Dave had a great time hanging out with Arie the nearly five year old! Kaddi fell in love with the four month year old bundle of smiles, and enjoyed making Jewellery with Lily :) It was really nice meeting the extended family.

We stayed 10 days with Georgie and Jon and had the must amazing time. The surrounding nature is absolutely stunning, and it's such a calm and nice environment. We loved being able to spend every nice outside helping out with weeds and tree cutting etc. You will never run out of tasks to keep you busy ;)

It was a long and wonderful stay at Georgie's and Jon's house. I stayed six weeks with them. For my first Workaway host I was totally impressed about the opportunity to stay with local family's. I got an unspoiled impression about the kiwi-/ family-/farm- life in New Zealand and the family did everything that I felt welcome. Finally I really had… read more

I have been staying with Georgie, Jon and the children for four weeks and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives for this time and for all the new experiences I was able to make and all the memories.

Hi there!
My girlfriend and me stayed with Jon's, Georgie's and their two very active children for one and a half week.
Their house is in a quite rural area, though it wasn't a problem to get there, Jon gave us a ride after work.
They have a beautiful house on a beautiful place (even with little caves) with a great, healthy lifestyle.

We stayed with this family for two weeks and had a great experience! We were welcomed into the family immediately and loved helping out on the farm (especially bottle feeding lambs) and exploring the incredible property surrounding them. Living with the family and meeting their friends and family helped us to integrate much more fully into kiwi… read more

Jon and Georgie have such an amazing life, it was great to be a part of it for 2 weeks! It's a buzy family life so be prepared to work hard, though they really appreciate everything that you do.

Me and Alfie had a wonderful experience with Georgie, John and the family! We were made to feel welcome and treated very well. We also very much enjoyed our stay on the farm with Belinda, Rod and all the animals! It's absolutely gorgeous there! Would go back in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this wonderful family to everyone!

We had such a lovely time with the Butler's! From the time we walked into their home we felt like we were staying with old friends rather than strangers. We got along so well with Georgie and Jon and enjoyed staying up and chatting and laughing with them.

Jackie was really easy to have and fitted right into our family life. She was more than happy to help with the kids, animals, housework, cooking and gardening. She was fun to have around and keen to meet new people and experience new things. It was great to hear all about her family and life in Hong Kong. Thanks so much Jackie! :)

Georgie is a very sweet and caring mum, she treated me like a friend, trusted me and provided me chances to work on things like gardening, cooking, child caring, meeting their friends and family, which are all… read more
