The Experience
We are a French family having settled on a small rural property. We have hundreds of projects... and a 3-year-old toddler. We are looking for hosts able to help with random tasks: house cleaning, garden maintenance, kid entertainment, decoration, building, cooking... it varies with seasons and needs. Most importantly, we are willing to have you feel part of the family, know more about you and your culture.

I had a great experience staying here! I'm very grateful for the opportunity to help out and contribute where I could. This was my first time using the platform, and I'm glad it was such a positive introduction. The hosts were welcoming, accommodating, and offered great recommendations when I asked about the local area. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Being welcomed by Clement and Agathe was a truly unforgettable experience. Everything is just as they mentioned in their description: a few hours of work around the house to enjoy sitting at the table with them for each meal. They have opened their home with never-ending kindness, and my time with them flew by! I would recommend the experience to anyone willing to be flexible and wants to take a look at a rural New Zealand lifestyle from an immigrant family.

I had a really good experience staying with this lovely family! They made me feel welcome from the beginning, and I really enjoyed helping out with various tasks. Their cooking was delicious, and it was always nice to share meals together. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and their little son was absolutely adorable, the little monster always brought some joy and energy into the day. I'm very grateful for the time I spent there and would definitely recommend staying with them!

Agathe is truly a top host thanks to her incredible hospitality and generosity. She welcomed us into her home and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and truly at home. The tasks were varied, with a good balance of outdoor and indoor work, especially on rainy days. We could feel that our help made a real difference, which was very motivating. I also loved being part of the warm family dynamic. This stay was a comforting and memorable stop during our world trip — it genuinely felt like being close to home. Thank you so much, Agathe!

My experience at Whangarei was memorable. Agathe is definitely a top host, no doubt about it. She's kind and attentive to others, always making sure we felt comfortable and part of the family. Basile is adorable and full of energy! We shared delicious meals and many joyful moments together. As for work, we enjoyed a variety of stimulating tasks, both indoors and outdoors; it was fun and engaging! The small village they live in, is just paradisiac. With beach and hikes nearby, it was really nice enjoying nature in the afternoon and on days off. I would definitely recommend this experience!
