Volunteer in New Zealand
Country: New Zealand
Description
We live on 15 acres of land in the Onaero Valley, Taranaki. Twenty four cows, 6 chickens, a cat and dog share our land. We have an orchard of apples, pears, figs, plums, feijoas, avocados and lots of citrus trees as well an extensive veggie garden. We have a unique outdoor hot tub area with great views down the valley including Mt Taranaki. We are a 5 minute drive from the beach and also enjoy swimming, fishing and kayaking.

What else ...
We are relaxed and laid back but work hard when we need to. We are looking for people who want to come to experience the Taranaki lifestyle farming situation and a bit of the culture. We have both travelled extensively throughout the world and enjoy meeting new people and sharing cultural experiences.

-> Volunteer in New ZealandMichele and Merv are really nice people and excellent hosts to Workaway for. They made us feel like a part of their family and we shared some good times with their dog Buddy. We highly recommend them.

-> LoweWe really enjoyed having Elina and Lowe stay and work with us. They are both really lovely people and worked very hard. We also enjoyed putting out the long line with them and celebrating Lowe's birthday with an impromptu party! Would love to have them back any time and highly recommend them to anyone else.
