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!

Agathe and Clement were very friendly and welcoming. They cooked delicious meals and would always get specific things when i asked. It was amazing being able to get to know them and basile :) There was a great array of work from doing garden work like digging things, watering plants/trees, building frames to cleaning the house. I highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to get out of the city and more into nature. They were delightful hosts!

I had a fantastic time during my volunteer stay. The tasks were simple, fun, and I always felt like I was contributing. From the very first moment, they made me feel at home, and I couldn't have felt more welcomed. They have a beautiful family and a lovely house, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to stay with them and for their kindness. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding and pleasant volunteering opportunity.

More than grateful towards Agathe, Clément and little Basile, for welcoming me at their beautiful location. Great scene from the balcony every morning :) The daily tasks were simple and meaningful. It felt great to be into a family dynamic, away from the hustle and the bustle of a town. It was my first woofing experience and I am definitely keen doing some more. To conclude, it was a great starting point for my Working Holiday Visa with this dynamic being part of the family. À très vite ! Nicolas

I had a very pleasant stay at the home, I felt very welcome and part of the family. I really enjoyed the tasks assigned to me which varied from housekeeping, gardening and a bit of carpentry depending on the needs as they arose. They are a very nice and attentive family, I loved sharing with them and especially the moments of dinner together.

My experience was so unbelievably amazing!! They have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and accommodate for any needs I may of had. They always made sure I was comfortable with the tasks and also that I had enough time to explore the local area (which I love.) Basile is such a smart little boy and so fun to spend time with. They remind me so much of my own family and it was really comforting to have that dynamic. My home away from home! I will cherish this part of my trip forever!

I can't express enough here how much I loved this experience and how welcome Agathe, Clement and Basile made me feel both in New Zealand and in theirs house! I strongly recommend it for everyone that wants to live in a peaceful and beautiful environment for a few weeks, while you help a family on they day-to-day life. I really don't have nothing to complain about anything, it was a awesome experience, that I would do more times, and I'm sure that I made 3 great friends in this world (2 and a half yet haha) Thank you for everything guys, it was a pleasure to share those weeks with you!
