Description
Our home located on a small working farm, approximately 5 - 10 minutes drive from Oamaru. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 dreadful teenagers/young adults. We rear and fatten bulls year round and dairy graze cows over winter, and have a small flock of sheep, plus chickens, ducks, Kune Kune pig, 3 x alpaca, 4 x farm dogs and 2 cats (that live in the house).

We would love someone who is quiet and respectful, and non-smokers/vapers essential. Working Holiday Visa required. You will also need your own transport, especially if you want to sightsee around Oamaru. Our place is definitely not a party place.
