I totally enjoyed my time with Raewyn & David. I stayed at their lovely place and their daughter's place near Christchurch where they were renovating the house at the time. They made sure that I have everything I need and feel comfortable. Raewyn's food was absolutely delicious. When it comes to work I would recommend to be flexible, as it is very weather depending. I did a lot of painting. Besides that I was gardening and did other general tasks around the house. The work hours were flexible and I got multiple opportunities to explore the area and meet their friends and family. Thank you!☺️

It was my first experience with world backpackers and it couldn't have been better. Raewyn and David are a lovely couple building and taking care of a beautiful house and land nearby a beautiful the home. The work was all about manual takes around the house and its garden and they were very flexible and explained us what to do. We were super well accommodated and had the chance to exchange very interesting talks while enjoying super yummy food. We met other volunteers and the environment was perfect. We are very happy with the experience and hope to meet again!

We had a wonderful volunteering experience with Raewyn and David. From the start, they made us feel completely at home. Their house is beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. We did gardening, split and stacked wood, and cleaned indoors on rainy winter days. The work was fair and flexible, allowing us to explore with our rental car (note there's no public transport around). Raewyn's cooking was colorful and delicious—she always made sure I had vegetarian meals. Our room was warm and comfy, and their kindness, great chats, and peaceful setting made it truly special. Thanks Raewyn&David!

We loved having you both here. It was interesting talking and sharing cultures. This is the best part of the exchange.
It was a bit sad our skies were crying so much while you were here 🌧️ But we are glad you made the best of the damp situation 😌
Maybe one day we will find you in Portugal 🇵🇹

I enjoyed my stay in the home of Raewyn and David. The room was really cozy and the Raewyn's meals were always delicious. The landscape is beautiful, I loved to work in this calm and quiet environment. I joined Angelo and his friends to see the ocean and I could use the bicycle the discover a little bit of the surrounding area. Unfortunately I had some tooth problems during my stay, but they helped me to get to the dentist. Thank you :)

Attila was with us for 3weeks. He weeded almost the whole property, it is great to have it thistle free for a while!!
He had some dental problems which did not help his health issues but he managed to continue working. He also enjoyed a few trips away from the property to explore Otago during his stay.
I tried to write a review but it’s disappeared somewhere!

Raewyn and David welcomed us into their home with open arms. They have an incredible the home over the home and surrounding areas. On our days off, they took us to the surrounding towns to explore. We also met some of their family who are also great and friendly, and met another world packer, Cassie, who was working with Raewyns daughter next door. It was a great experience and very rewarding.

Raewyn and David (and their entere family) were a love since the first moment I arrived to their impressive house near the home. They provided me a very comfortable room to sleep and delicious healthy meals I wish I discobered before, making me feel as I was part of their family. I helped them to paint a fence and preparing the garage to be painted as well. Not very difficult job that David teached me very effectively. After work, I had the opportunity to go with Angelo and his friends to a beautiful local beach and join Jessika in a boat trip in the home. I definitely recommend them!

Alex was a very respectful volunteer. He enjoyed my cooking and interacting with our family.
He applied himself to the tasks given and completed them despite some of them being quite boring! He prepped the plywood walls & ceiling for painting but puttying the screw holes and then sanding, he also painted a fence. He was capable of working alone once shown.
He enjoyed going to the beach & boating on the lake with my young folk.
He was a pleasure to have and we would thoroughly recommend him.

I had an incredible experience with Raewyn and David. A home away from home. The work was flexible and they did everything to accommodate dietary restrictions within flexible working hours, according to the weather. It was a pleasure to help a bit with the building, cleaning and gardening of their dream house by the home. And the home is astonishing.

The description matches with what is provided on site. The bedrooms are comfortable with a nice the home, and Rawyn cook delicious food that was generoulsy provided throughout my stay. Rawyn was also nice enough to show me around Dunedin and her daughter brought us to the beach one day. There would need some improvements regarding communication around the work hours and with overall interactions with workawayers which was a bit lacking in my first few days. Thank you Rawyn and David!

Raewyn and David had an accurate description of their facilities and they were very generous with the food they supplied during my stay. I think some improvement could be made to the communication of the working schedule as on my first couple days I was a bit lost of what needed completing but as the week went on it became clearer.
