Kia ora! We’re Matt and Amelie, originally from France, and we live on a 4-hectare lifestyle block with our two young 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!

I stayed with Amelie and Matt with their two children and dog Lucas! They were very accommodating and the room you stay in is comfortable and has everything you need!
Amelie and Matt were very accommodating for example; picking me up from New Plymouth as I didn’t have a car, providing well balanced meals and snacks so I never needed anything, told me exactly what was expected working on use before I arrived and the answered any questions I had about living in the house (washing and showers).
The boys are very sweet, I loved reading books with them and playing! Thankyou for everything! Xx

Our time with Matt, Amélie, and their two sons was truly wonderful. My girlfriend and I felt very comfortable there,the place is warm, cozy, and welcoming.\n\nThe work was great as well, we really enjoyed helping out and doing some light gardening. The food was always delicious, and cooking together was a lot of fun.\n\nThere’s also a very sweet dog named Lukas, who made the stay even more enjoyable.\n\nThe property itself is quite large and offers a beautiful view of the mountain. I can highly recommend staying there, the family is humorous and very friendly.

Me and my boyfriend had a great time at Amélies and Matt’s place. It is a very beautiful location, with a direct view on the volcano. Amélie and Matt are very welcoming and loving hosts, who made us feel at home and who tried to make the time as enjoyable as possible for us.
The tasks varied, also depending on the weather and the hours and days off where flexible. Every job was kind of fun though. And with Lukas, their dog, constantly on our side it was even better 😊 Their two kids are also adorable. And the food is delicious! So I cannot recommend it enough!

It was amazing to spend a week with Amelie and Matt, the boys and the dog! Felt amazing to be in a homy place right at the bottom of Taranaki :)

Staying with Matt and Amelie was amazing. Their home was comfortable and welcoming to me and my friend, especially their dog and children:)
The tasks varied from weeding to cleaning drain pipes and feeding chicken, and there was always something new to see. The flexible of these hosts allowed us to pick our own days off, which was really convenient. I would recommend the project for anyone looking for a comforting stay close to nature!

Sorry somehow I'm not able to leave a formal review so I'll just leave a comment here. Ada stayed at our place with her friend Marie for about a week. She was really friendly and hard-working. She's always happy to help. We had nice chats in the evening. I'd happily recommend them both. 😊
