Worst Employer ever! We started a job here but quit after one day already. Dott is really unfriendly and the work environment is awful. For 75NZD a week you can set up a tent on the grass behind the muddy toilets and filthy showers. The kitchen and TV-Room is dusty and mice are everywhere. Dont work here!

This is a workers review: So so conflicted on this place! We stayed in staff accommodation for 5 nights, and worked here for 3 days (due to public holidays), after 2 days we realised it really just wasn't for us (me), and so we handed in our days notice and worked our final day. Dot and Allan are great to chat too, and lovely people. Dot is however 100% taskmaster when it comes to work time. I believe if you work hard and keep up to speed picking and working here, you will never have a problem with Dot. I can see how some people could easily get on the wrong side of her as some other reviews mention. Working conditions are hard and long days - probably fine and easy if you have done this sort of work before, however it is 0-100 jumping in at the deep end mentally and physically if you are just trying this to get a bit of money, and usually work a desk job! The real star of the show was Ralph who kept everything running, and popped over occasionally to make sure all was well. There is a wee campsite and a couple of cabins for staff on site, however the toilets and showers really really let it down. I can see how they get filthy really quickly, however that should just mean they get cleaned more often! Which they unfortunately don't. Overall, a great shop attached, and well kept crops with clever watering and tunnel systems. Work is fair, but hard graft - if you don't HAVE to work here, I'd give it a miss - there are easier jobs for the minimum wage provided.
