The Experience

Kia ora! We’re Matt and Amelie, originally from France, and we live on a 4-hectare lifestyle block with our two sons and dog in beautiful Taranaki. Our home is located just 10 minutes from Stratford and 40 minutes from New Plymouth by car. As we’re in a rural area, it’s easier if you have your own car to get around and explore!

We are very grateful for our stay with Amelie and Mat. This was our first Worldpackers experience, and they made truly special. From the beginning, they were very kind and welcoming. We are so happy to spend time whit them, their lovely kids, and their friendly dog. As for work, we learned a lot about vegetable gardening, and they were very flexible with the schedule. Taranaki is a beautiful place, and they made sure to show us things to do and places to explore and enjoy. It was truly unique experience, and we will always have a special place in our hearts for this lovely family! 💚

Thanks Matt and Amelie (and the rest of the family) for welcoming me into your home! On weekdays I would work alone (weeding, moving mulch and graval, cutting grass, etc) and on the weekend I worked with Matt on some building projects and got to learn lots about tools and construction. Great view of Taranaki from the property and just a lovely spot to unwind for a bit.

Amelie and Matt are amazing and kind hosts! They are very flexible with the work schedule and give you good advice about hikes etc. in the area. The tasks varied and none of them were too hard. It was fun cooking together and having conversations in the evening. Thank you Amelie and Matt for hosting me so kindly, it was a pleasure staying with you!
