I felt very welcome and the room and the house is cozy. I did a lot of small tasks in and around the house which might not be the most interesting but like everywhere - just need to be done. I could clearly feel that Teena and Noel were appreciating me for completing them. They made sure I could do tasks inside when it was raining. The food they cook is very delicious! It was also really interesting to learn about the black garlic and to feel their motivation and passion regarding the products! Be prepared for good conversations, fun, board games and weird movies ;) i would def. do it again!!

Teena is so lovely and brought us along to local community events like the market and pickleball :) In the evenings we would play Wingspan and watch movies. The work was what was expected and very fair. The alpacas are also so funny and sweet! My partner and I had a lovely time and would recommend to anyone.

Teena and Noel were the best hosts. They really made you feel apart of their family and home. The work was as said and fair and in return you had lovely food and a great place to stay. They included you in watching films, playing games and taking you to local events which was so much fun. The alpacas are the cutest and so was Mabel the cat! It's a great experience and can't recommend them enough.

What an experience. Teena and Noel are the best. I had such an amazing week here. They are both so welcoming and friendly. From learning about black garlic to wood cutting you will definitely come away knowing more. The house is beautiful with a very comfortable bed, everything is as stated. Teena and Noel have a lot of knowledge not only about NZ and where to go but also about the rest of the world. Sunday family games day was best. I would recommend this experience to anyone, I had made memories that will last with me forever ❤️

Teena and Noël made us feel like family. One of the best volunteering places that I have experienced, they care about your welfare and are supportive throughout. They have extensive knowledge on New Zealand and can help you find the best spots to explore. They have a lovely home where you have your own room and a very comfy bed! Always making great meals from vegetables from their garden and you get a taste of their special black garlic. This was a home away from home and it was hard to say goodbye. I would recommend staying here 100%

Had such an amazing time on the farm! Teena and Noel were so welcoming and made me feel right at home. Got to learn about farming and gardening practices, how to drive a tractor and feed the alpacas! Gorgeous river swimming and beaches all around. Couldn't recommend this experience enough:)

One of the best experiences of my life. Home away from home, literally. This time with Teena and Noel let me learn so many things! About planting, how to drive a tractor, how to make salads from the orchard, how to play Quirkle. We had a great time sharing stories, food and movies. If you want to have a full experience and meet real interesting locals this is the place! Don't hesitate. I'm so greatful I end up here. I made forever memories :)
