This was a few years ago, but my wife and I used workaway.info to extend our honeymoon in New Zealand by an extra month +. We had a great time, but I am sure it really depends on the actual hosts you work with. We did two different ones. The first was working for an "eco-lodge" B&B. Cutting grass, stacking wood, painting a chicken coop - nothing too hard. The wife did some ironing too. The second was for this retreat place where we did more hospitality work (making beds, cleaning rooms, etc). The general deal for the places we looked at was 2 hours of work a day got free room, 4 hours a day got free room and meals. Both places we stayed were 2 hours of work for just free lodging. You can do just about anything for two hours a day without getting too bored - even if it is scrubbing toilets. The other thing we'd recommend looking for are side perks. Both places let us have use of the amenities after work - free kayaks, hot tubs, mountain bikes. It was great. In speaking with other travelers, the only negative stories we heard were from farms where you ended up being a field picker. Apparently not so much fun. You can read reviews on the workaway of the different hosts, but we'd also definitely encourage you to call and talk with the hosts first. We bought some skype credit to do so. You should be able to tell pretty easily if they would be a good match. Good luck!
