Description
We are a couple sometimes with adult offspring at home. We always have lots to do in the garden.
We live in a gorgeous place and offer great accommodation and food. We have been luck to attract some exceptional helpers.We get a lot more requests than we can accommodate. If you are making contact to see if we have availability for you, please let me know what type of work suits you best, how long you would like to stay for, whether you have your own transport and what makes you exceptional helpers.
Maximum stay is 4 days.

Help
In general: We could do with some help with garden. We sometimes have a DIY project or two underway which could be helped along if you have DIV/joinery skills . If you are fit and strong we can provide outdoor tasks that will keep you that way :-) If you are skilled with a camera we have some photos we would like taken. Right now we need some strong fit helpers who can move do some digging/moving soil as well as some garden landscaping and weeding/planting for spring. Make sure to let me know in your email if you are up for this. If you are an experienced plasterer we have some small repair tasks just waiting for you.
Accommodation
Fancy waking up to a fabulous sea view? We live in a beautiful spot, 10 mins drive from Akaroa, close to Duvauchelle and can offer lovely accommodation separate to our house to one or two people willing to lend a hand with general spring clean/ gardening duties. We seek 4.5 hours (hard) work every day in exchange for accommodation and (good!) food. We can pick up from the Akaroa Shuttle. You are welcome to use our swimming pool (in summer) and enjoy all that Banks Peininsula has to offer.

It was a real pleasure to host them. They are conscientious workers who just need to be told roughly what is to be done and they use their initiative from there. No task was a problem and they have a great attitude to life. They are in workaway for… read more
