Description
Nestled amidst vast rural vistas, our peaceful sanctuary awaits your helping hand. If you crave the serenity of wide-open spaces and the harmony of nature, this is the place for you.
We are a family with three energetic young children living in Hawkes Bay. Guests must enjoy being around children. Our children are life learners and are very inquisitive and like to ask lots of questions. Our kids love socialising with visitors, as do we! We are laid back, friendly, love cooking and learning about different cultures.
Our home is always busy and often we appreciate an extra pair of hands around to lighten the load on our little piece of paradise, we could really use your assistance. From our beloved furry friends to the lush greenery of our gardens, there's plenty to be done:
In return for your hard work and dedication, you'll find yourself welcomed into a warm and welcoming home, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the serenity of rural living.
We are offering accommodation and breakfast/lunch food for approx. 2-4 hours of work each day. You will be responsible for making your own breakfasts and lunch food but food will be supplied for these meals. Dinners can either be enjoyed together or separately depending on the needs of all. We are flexible about building up extra time to take days off. If you are staying for a week (or more) then the working week is 6 days, and one day where no work is required.
People with an efficient and thorough work ethic and who show initiative will fit in well here. The work here is simple but requires some effort and fitness. Freeloaders will not be tolerated. Your work will be rewarded with much appreciation.
If you're ready to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and embrace a simpler way of life, we invite you to join us in our rural retreat. Contact us today to learn more about this unique opportunity to make a difference while enjoying the peace and spaciousness of country living.
Come help us cultivate a haven of tranquility in the heart of the countryside!
Thanks for your interest, we are happy to answer questions.
