Help on a busy Kiwi farm
Contact Register

Country: New Zealand

Description

We are a busy kiwi farming family of six on the West Coast of the South Island, NZ. We milk 700 cows in a farming area half an hours drive north of Greymouth. Our children are ages 8, 6 ( both at school), 3 and 18 months. We would like someone to come and help out in the home with childcare and keeping house. We have a large family home with amazing views of the Southern Alps. The children enjoy the outdoors along with music, dancing and dress ups. They love to help cook and of course eating! We have chickens, a goat and a cat. We all enjoy to get out in the garden and do jobs on the farm.
The West Coast is a beautiful place and is an ideal spot if you like the outdoors. There is lots of tramping(hiking), fishing, skiing, rafting and nature walks all in close proximity. It is not far to major tourist spots like the Punakiki Rocks and the Glaciers.
We have had travellers stay before and we rerally enjoy meeting new people and learning about their country and culture.

Work

Over the months August, September and October (calving time on the farm) we required extra hours above the 5 hours required in exchange for food and board but will pay for the extra hours work done. We are flexible with payment can be wages, ski package, accomodation, kiwi experience bus fares etc.
Being able to drive a car and have a drivers license would be a bonus but not essential.

Languages spoken

English

Accommodation

Live in accomodation in the family home. Own room but shared bathroom. All food/meals provided. Would be fantastic if you can cook, the children love to help bake and cook.

What else ...

We can take people on starting straight away, and would like people stay for at least a week with the possiblitiy to stay on longer if both parties are happy.
