I had a great time with Stefan and Jillian. They are both very nice people and welcomed me so nicely in their home. Thanks to Stefan and Jillian I've seen a lot of beautiful things and met nice people, while staying with them. They even took me on a kayak tour and I enjoyed it a lot. The amount of work was totally fine and Stefan was always making sure that I was okay while working and also through the whole day. Thank you Jillian and Stefan.

Stefan and Gillian were incredible hosts. From the moment I arrived they were extremely welcoming and generous. The tasks with Stefan in the garden were fun and interesting, I learned a lot about the native New Zealand bush. The cabin was very comfortable and private. Stefan and Gillian introduced me to many lovely people, they took me to some beautiful areas around Paihia as well as some tasty local restaurants. I highly recommend working with them in Paihia, the experience was amazing overall!

This is my first Worldpackers experience in New Zealand and Stefan and Jillian made it really special. They are the very kind, hospitable and friendly hosts. The tasks are not exhausting and Stefan helped and guided me if there's something I don't know how to do. Their place is so beautiful surrounded with trees and plants and only five minutes away from the beach. They took me around Paihia and nearby towns to see tourist attractions, taught me how to kayak and brought me to local restaurants. I am beyond grateful for them and the friendship we have built together. I wish them all the best!

I really enjoyed my time with Stefan and Jillian. The two are extremely lovely people and you feel like at home. They showed and did many things with me. Working with Stefan was extremely fun and not too exhausting. I also had enough time for myself to do things and explore the area. I can heartily recommend Stefan and Jillian and would go back anytime. Thank you for a wonderful time. Best, Tim

Stefan and Jilliane treated me like their own family and made me feel like I was at home since the first day. The work is never too hard or long and you can also talk about what you would like to do and what not. The home and your sleeping cabin is simple and very cute and you really reconnect with nature while living with them. I loved everything about it. Stefan and Jilliane are just really kind, respectful and helpful people and they also take you to many places and show you things. I was sad when I had to leave and would go again any time!

Alessia was a Very Special Guest. Very polite, tidy and helpful. Within few days Alesia became like family member, adapting in no time to our simple ways of living. Also very creative and hard working. Nature, Gardens became Alessias hiding place. She spent a lot of time to create unique garden "Master Pieces" Whenever I go through the Gardens, I see Alessias gentle touch. The Garden and us saying Thanks to Alessia. Hope to see you back soon...
