    Description

    Kia ora Workawayers,
    Welcome to our home in sunny Tasman village. We live on 2.4ha (6acres) of organically managed forest and garden and have a small flock of chickens.
    Our business is a family run garden cafe , judged New Zealand's best cafe 2013. The cafe is now only open on Fridays.
    We have built all the eco buildings on site ourselves over the last 33 years and our business has a strong ecological foundation. We also have accommodation in a Giant Boot.

    We require help in our organic gardens and other projects, including art and natural building.
    We are a hard working and fun loving couple and are looking for the same ethos in our volunteers.

    We have separate sleepout accommodation for volunteers with shared camp style facilities i.e you have to go to a seperate building for shower and the composting toilet. You will be expected to share cooking of evening meals together.
    You are expected to provide your own breakfast while we provide lunch and dinner during the week in return for your help. In the weekend you’re free to explore the area.
    Tasman village is close to beaches and on route to the Abel Tasman National Park, and only 10 minutes from Motueka.
    Your own transport a definite advantage although there is now abus service which stops at Tasman Village, 500metres away.

    We will endeavour to reply to all emails within 2 days and we expect the same so we can efficiently manage volunteers, thanks.
    Nga mihi nui,
    Steve and Judy
