Description
People interested to help us with the final part of the preparation of the reforestation of our private homestead on our beautiful farm. The farm is being transitioned back to nature.
We have started on one area already which is planted, and another area is undergoing pest control and weed control as we speak.
The help we are after is prepping in the area we want to plant.
The space (where you will sleep), you will have your own room shared with your friend or partner (queen bed).
The large kitchen is shared with us.

This was my first stop in New Zealand, and I'm really happy for it
The work is physical, not too hard. The scenery is amazing. And I got to learn a little about reforestation, invasive species etc.
Both Marcel and Dave are nice people, interesting to talk to, would have been nice to interact with them more.

Make sure you have some heavy work to do, as they like to use their muscles! :)
Marcel and Laura are incredibly generous hosts, we’re really grateful to have been welcomed at their place, especially as a family ourselves.

We wish all of them all the best and we may meet again :)
They have a beautiful big house and a cuddly cat. We were given new and different tasks around the house and farm everyday and had a lot of fun doing them.
We really enjoyed our stay!
Thank you for having us, hope to see you again.
Rosa & Johannes
They helped around the farm with all kinds of work, mostly around the vineyard, but also with maintenance on the driveway
Our daughter joined to the airport to wave goodbye and Rosa & Johannes have a special place in our thoughts
All the best!
