It was an amazing experience. Leslie and Amanda are kind, committed and respectful people, and it was a real pleasure working with them. The work is hard, but it's not difficult, and you get to learn a lot along the way. The accommodation is great, comfortable and cosy. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it.

I had the most amazing experience the TePopo the guest house. Amanda and Les were so kind to me and I will never forget how welcoming and supportive they were during my stay. The working hours are exactly as stated, so you always know what to expect and there are no surprises when it comes to expectations. I really enjoyed all of the work I did here, the guest house are beautiful and the accommodations are cozy and feel more like a home than most hotels or hostels. 10/10 would recommend, this is definitely a place that will stay in my heart for the rest of my life ❤️

If you habe the chance to go and help Amanda and Les, just do it. The place is incredible, massive space fill with nature. The hosts are the most caring and welcoming humans you could meet in the Taranaki region. the guest house is an amazing place, ridiculously beautiful and peaceful.

I had an amazing time at the popos Guesthouse! Amanda and Less are very welcoming and they really adhere to the agreement made on the app (working hours,food, accomondation, etc.). The two of them also try to include you in their private life for exmaple with eating together or taking you with them to a trip to the city.

Stayed with Amanda and Les in a beautiful & magnificent country estate in the Taranaki region of New Zealand. The couple welcomed me with open arms. They're very nice, genuine, accessible and very accommodating. There's nothing to complain about. I learned a great deal from them about garden maintenance, home improvement and; most importantly about life in general. I highly recommend the guest house & the couple who owned it. It's a rare privilege to meet Amanda and Les. Come to the guest house & experience heaven on earth.

Ade, was an inspiration to ys. He is a kind person and very tentative. He always offered assistance and are keen to learn new things. We would welcome him back with open arms.

Amanda is a lovely person and I enjoyed spending time with her! The room I stayed in was super nice, the surrounding land is great, and the food was delicious. Working hours were respected, however the advertised garden work was almost non existent for me. I mainly did housekeeping for the bed and breakfast. My boyfriend, who worked on the yard, and I asked to alternate roles, however we didn't see any changes happening and decided to leave early. Additionally, the business didn't align with my goals of working on sustainable projects. This place wasn't for me but could be great for others!

You did what work for you, we are doing what works for us. Your lack of commitment is a bit disappointing. However all of the best

Amanda was very sweet and a welcoming host. The accommodation was nice, especially having your own space. The work was not difficult and expectations/directions were clear. However, this experience was not the right fit for me or my partner. Their was a clear gendered division of labor which we requested multiple times to alternate between so all the tasks would be accomplished and we both could have opportunities outside and housekeeping. These requests were not acted upon. Additionally, I thought the business did not act in a sustainable way. Unfortunately, I left the experience early.

My response to Grace is the same to you. You do what works for you. We do what works for us. Your lack of commitment was disappointing. However all of the best for your future.
