  Beschreibung

  Small Farm Animal Sanctuary, 50 KM South of Dunedin, 6km away from Milton. There are pigs, pony, sheep, chickens, turkey, dogs and cats. Also, a large garden, a few paddocks, all surrounded by farmlands. Very rural NZ. (In addition we have a remote mudbrick cottage in Central Otago. Some painting work needed before winter. Would suit an experienced couple of volunteers who can look after themselves in exchange for accom in an interesting, peaceful old gold mining area. Easy commute through the region to do tourist activities)
  
  Large original Victorian farmhouse and grounds. I work full time and need people to be here for animals throughout the day. However, animals need someone around at all times so this needs to be considered. Be aware that because this is a Sanctuary for farm animals, only Vegan food here. Most importantly our home and property is a place where the animal's happiness is the priority so, please only apply if this aligns with your values and interests. As we host many people here each year we know how to care for people too but in return we do expect you to be tidy in the house and put in the hours of work that Workaway expects. We do what we do for the animals, not for profit. It's very peaceful here when all are contributing well, but also busy. We need to prioritize the animals' schedules, not volunteers, but once jobs done, we have many lovely spots for relaxing including balcony and TV rooms.
  
  Need to know your time frame, how you are traveling, and how you see yourself fitting in with our project. If you do not send this information, I will not be spending lots of time on emails asking all the questions. I do not make arrangements with anyone not already in NZ. Preference for people with own transport. Look up Milton on Map to see how it fits with your plans first, please. Suits travel plans through to Catlins, Milford or Central Otago.
  Calendar not relevant as I will always find room for someone with a particular skill set, we need at the time.
  
  Absolutely must love dogs (and pigs)!!
  
  (Please note that our availability Calendar is not relevant. At any time, we may take on an extra if we have a project or if someone has particular skills we need at the time)

  Arbeit

  Need help with animals, gardens and household chores. Sometimes outdoors projects on the property or renovation inside. Please say if you have some specific practical skills.
  Nothing too difficult but need people with initiative, maturity and who like being outdoors.
  You will be doing tasks independently most of the time while we are at work so you need to be able to self-manage and be happy in own company and with other volunteers.
  We like people to be here only if they understand that our project is mainly about giving these animals a good life and also fixing up and maintaining this very old home and large garden.

  Unterkunft

  Downstairs double bedroom or upstairs double bedroom. Electric blankets on beds and plenty of bedding and extras in room. Unlimited wifi and Netflix. House has 3 bathrooms, one brand new, for volunteers.
  I cook all the meals unless you want to help, which I greatly appreciate. Plenty of food for big appetites! Plant based meals as this is a Animal Sanctuary, not a farm.
  We really try to run a tidy organized home, for the benefit of everyone so appreciate you trying to be tidy here too.
  There are sometimes B&B Guests here too so everyone needs to fit in around this as this helps support the animals.
