  Description

  Do you long to step away from the outside world for a while and immerse yourself in nature? Then look no further as we are looking for helpers in our wee piece of Paradise at the moment .........
  
  Our farm is 100 acres of deer-fenced land on the Otago Peninsula. The help we require is some basic gardening, collecting wood, weed-eating and other household maintenance tasks. We are an animal besotted family with 2 horses, 2 cats and 2 dogs (FYI they are both retired drugs dogs so if you use even occasionally, whilst we are not judging you, please don't bother offering your services !).
  
  We need helpers who are energetic, honest, fun, caring, conscientious, can get on with jobs without requiring supervision and are not glued to a device!!! Some equestrian knowledge would be good (but not necessary) as you'll help with the daily care of the horses. As we are a working farm, no pets thanks. We usually only take couples (but have had single helpers before) as you can help each other out on jobs.
  
  As we are not on a main road, helpers DO need their own transport. We have a lot of interesting wildlife on the Otago Peninsula including Northern Royal Albatross (the only mainland breeding colony in the world), Hooker sea lions (world's rarest sea lion), fur seals, little blue penguins and yellow-eyed penguins (also the world's rarest penguin). but all do require a car to get there.
  
  We will provide you with scrummy food and new accommodation with a queen bed and your own private bathroom. You will be living with us in the main house and be part of the family. Non-smokers only and NO special dietary requirements thanks. Please bear in mind that we will all share in the domestics particularly clearing up after meals and ask you keep your room clean and tidy!
  
  We usually start with a week's trial to see if we both are a good fit. You need to be comfortable using your initiative as you will mostly be unsupervised and its useful to have your own boots/jackets etc. We are looking forward to hosting you if like the look of us !!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Because you can be caring for animals, it is an opportunity to gain confidence in taking responsibility for an animal menagerie. You will be close to animals and nature and can practice your English and we'll teach you the Kiwi way.

  Aide

  We have several large stands of trees and we need to gather wood from the fallen ones. Also some light garden help such as weed whacking. Being able to drive a quad bike would help but if you can't then that's not a show stopper. As the help is mainly outdoor, sturdy boots would be good for you to bring. I'll supply you with wet weather and all the protective gear you may need.

  Autres infos...

  As we are not on a main road, any helpers MUST have their own transport. Dunedin is known as the wildlife capital of NZ, we have a lot of interesting wildlife close by including the Northern Royal Albatross, Blue Penguins, Yellow-Eyed Penguins, Hooker Sealions to name but a few. NZ's castle, Larnach Castle is only a 5 minute drive away too.
