Beschreibung
We are currently looking for helpers that would be interested in house sitting for us for 2 nights 1-2 June. We do prefer if you arrived at least a few days before to get an idea of how our place runs. Of course we can also extend the date to be a bit longer to suit. Happy to do a mix of house sitting and hosting helpers.
We are situated in the picturesque Pohangina Valley on a 10 acres lifestyle block. This is about 25km (25 mins) from Palmerston North. You would need to have your own transport.
We mostly have a furry family consisting of 1 dog (inside), 3 cats, sheep, cows, chickens and ducks.
You must like animals, as most of ours are pets and love attention. The dog and cats are allowed inside and will sit in the couch.
The work to do while house sitting is very easy as its mostly the cats, dog and chickens that need feeding. We also have free range eggs that we collect and sell. You will be required to collect eggs every day. At most you will spend 15 minutes feeding in the morning and 30 minutes feeding and collecting eggs in the afternoon. The rest of the time you are free to do what you want to do.
Sorry some of our photos are a bit old and we no longer have some of these pets.
Please contact us if you would like to find out more.

Annie came and stayed with us and house sat while we went away. It was important to us to find the right person for our elderly dog. Annie was a great match, she is very kind and caring. Whilst staying at our place Annie also did some gardening and other chores that I greatly appreciated as it helped me out a lot.

Harriet and Rob stayed with us for a week and were a great help. They did endless amounts of firewood and worked all day on Sunday in the heat. They worked unsupervised and used their initiative.

Bev and Stu were really great hosts. We have a lovely time and were very well fed for our whole stay.
We felt the work was fair and we enjoyed working with them at the weekend, as well as learning from them about self sufficiency.
It’s such a lovely place to stay and we would recommend Bev and Stu to any workawayers.

We enjoy having our own little house and every evening looked forward to Bev's puddings. We were lucky enough to have been staying while carving was happening, we had the chance to see a vet call out too. It was also interesting to ask stu questions bout his job.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.
