Work New Zealand

“During orientation in Auckland, I met so many amazing people from different countries around the world, including Germany, the UK, Japan, Argentina, the USA, and more.”

New Zealand’s ski season runs from Jun-Oct and offers some of the sickest scenery on the planet, fun ski towns, and a close-knit community of staff. Henry, our Work NZ roadtester, is here for the rundown.The slightly-more-serious-younger sibling, the 4-day one is all about providing you with the resources you need to start your working holiday. When you land in Auckland, you’ll have the security of a shared airport transfer and three nights’ dorm accommodation at LyLo Hostel. A job workshop, travel planning and accommodation session, and assistance sorting work essentials such as your bank account and IRD (tax) number will help to get your job and housing search off the ground. With up to 45 other JEN-setters to hang with, there’s also plenty of fun to be had with welcome drinks, a ferry trip and group dinner.Following the first four days with the same group as the 4-day One, on day five, you’ll have a free day before boarding the Kiwi Experience’s legendary green bus for a 3-day trip up to the jaw-dropping Bay of Islands. A subtropical paradise of 144 islands, wildlife-filled waters and Māori culture – this is an unmissable loop from Auckland. You’ll have two nights in a hostel in Paihia, with plenty of free activities including nature walks, waterfall hikes, beach hangs and visits to historic Māori sites. Plus, the option to go sailing, diving and swimming with dolphins. On day eight, you’ll return to Auckland for your final night at LyLo with your new besties.We know the most authentic voices come from our community.
