My stay with Teresa and Pierre was the best way to begin my working holiday here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. the farm and the nearby the farm of Islands region is stunning with an unending amount of beaches and beautiful forest and farm land. The work was diverse ranging from caring for chickens to planting a wide range of fruits and veggies and harvesting them, general maintenance and yard work, tree planting and removing invasive plants and a great opportunity to meet a local family and learn more about the Māori and settler background of the region and the rich history of the Northland area!

I couldn't have asked for a better stay, truly. P & T really take the time to make sure that you are comfortable and fulfilled, which makes you feel like part of the family. Tasks/jobs were all simple, self-explanatory, and if I did need help, it was always given. Accommodation was great, food was delicious, and I was always included in any family activities that were happening. I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. Thank you, hope to cross paths again!

Teresa,Pierre and the family were incredibly welcoming and generous. The experience was just as advertised and the work was rewarding. They also offered great insight about the surrounding areas by suggesting hikes and places to visit.

It was a truly magical experience staying with this beautiful family! The location is other-worldly gorgeous, and the hosts themselves are a bundle of creative joy. The work I was doing was meaningful and very enjoyable. I got to connect with nature and animals everyday. It felt effortless to become part of their family and their day-to-day, and I also felt a great deal of respect for when I needed alone time. A wonderful, trusting, balanced, loving atmosphere. I hope I get to see them again <3

I had an amazing time in the farm. Teresa and Pierre are such kind and welcoming people, and their home is in a stunning location. I learned a ton about gardening, living off the land, and the culture of New Zealand. Would definitely recommend!
