Description
We are an energetic, ambitious family with 3 young children living on a large lifestyle block on a hill near Dunedin. Over the last three years we have grown from seed and planted out a 25 acre native forest and a 10 acre forest of oaks and maples. It has been a very meaningful project full of joy and hard work. We are now moving on to increase the food production of our land. A new vegetable garden, orchard, chickens, pigs and grain field are all underway!

Our home has an incredible view and is close to Mosgiel (4mins), Brighton Beach (9mins) and Dunedin City centre (15mins). It is a wonderfully warm and bright home to spend the winter months!

We have absolutely loved having our past workawayers with the liveliness and joy they bring to the household!

Hébergement
We have individual/couple rooms in our big, modern central heated family home. Our home is warm, bright and has beautiful views. There is a large bathroom for workawayers and we have our own separate family bathroom. (The workaway shower is being replaced at the moment though so our shower is available to all)
I am happy to provide and cook all food (breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks). I can cater for vegetarians but we do include dairy and eggs.
Autres infos...
Dunedin area is full of beautiful beaches and walks.
Great surfing 10mins away from our house. It is the oldest city in NZ so the city centre is interesting. It is 2-3 hrs from Cromwell, Wanaka and Queenstown. It is a beautiful area to explore!

We have a 3yr, 5yr and 7yr old so we would need someone/people with a tame lifestyle eg limited drinking and no smoking

We couldn't have dreamed of a better first experience as workawayers! There is absolutely nothing negative to say. We spent 3 weeks at Kaye's, and we really wish we could have stayed longer. The family makes us feel so comfortable that we can't feel homesick. The work is simple and it’s a great pleasure to be able to participate in Kaye’s… read more

We had a wonderful two weeks - thank you so much Kaye, Hamish and kids! The house and views are beautiful and we felt at home very quickly. It was a great routine of gardening in the mornings and exploring the area and coastline in our free time, as well as playing with the kids. We miss it already! Thank you!

I had the absolute best time on Saddle Hill and was definetly very sad to leave after the two and a half months I spent there. Kaye and her family are simply wonderful and I feel very thankful that I got to stay with them.
While I was there, we (Kaye, the other workawayers, and myself) planted thousands of native trees which was super fun and… read more

Paula was a delight to have stay. She is a hard worker with a willing and positive attitude even when working on a steep hillside in wild winter weather.

I loved staying with Kaye, her family and the other workawayers! The amount of work is more than fair for the accomodation and food that you get in exchange. We worked 4 hours in the morning and had lunch together after that. We spent the rest of the day talking, reading, exploring, doing puzzles etc. Kaye and her family made me feel welcome right… read more

I had such a wonderful week with Kaye and family! The kids are hilarious and Kaye is such a warm and generous host.
