Beschreibung
We are clay artists with a small onsite gallery for our work with an interest in Whole Food Plant Based eating- (think healthy vegan).
Currently looking for tidy upperers in the house, garden and/or workshop, getting our gallery ready for the coming summer season and depending on the weather on the day going to local markets and helping Liz set up her stall.
Self-catering in your own flat which means you bring all your own food, drink and snacks. (Some seasonable herb & veg from the garden when available, but cannot be relied on as a source as our garden is small). We have a small shop in town for (limited) self-catering supplies and takeaway meals and there is a pub in the village.
There is very limited public transport (once a day, one-way to Blenheim/Picton or Nelson) and therefore preference is given to people with their own transport.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

We encourage you to experience the beautiful scenic area we live in . Our village is well placed to day-trip and/or explore various areas incl the Sounds, Pelorus Bridge, Havelock, Nelson and Marlborough and/or explore making your own clay pieces in our studio using various techniques.
Arbeit
2 hours help per person for each night may include general gardening/tidying up, seed planting, making compost, weeding etc or inside tasks such as cleaning or tidying in the home or workshop. Photography and input for social media might be helpful too but basically help where help is needed!

Unterkunft
The private self-contained flat is freshly decorated, warm, clean and cosy. Good cell phone coverage. Guests should feel comfortable about being independent in their separate accommodation during their stay. No smoking please.
The flat has one queen and one twin room with electric blankets, good WIFI, Chromecast, games, books etc, well equipped kitchen incl fridge/freezer, cooker, and washing machine, hair dryer etc. While you will have your own bedroom you may also be sharing the lounge, kitchen etc with up to 2 other helpers, depending on other bookings at the time of your stay.
All meals/snacks must be self-catered. There is a small shop and takeaway across the road in our village but best to bring your own supplies as it has a very limited range. We aim to preserve the flat environment for vegan and vegetarian sensitivities and so we ask that this is taken into account especially if other plant based helpers are staying at the same time as you.Was noch ...
NB: Rai Valley is a very small town situated halfway between Blenheim and Nelson ( 50 minutes drive) on SH6and is close to swimming holes, fantastic walks, Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve, the turnoff to Durville Island, Tennyson Inlet, Okiwi Bay. These are all 10-30 min drive away, (no public transport to most of these places) and so your own vehicle is essential for getting about. We have a small shop in town for (limited) self-catering supplies and takeaway meals and there is a pub in the village.

Thank you for everything and for the delicious vegetables from the garden (and the beer!)
All the best :)
They are very warm hearted people who always made time for a lovely chat and laughter. Passionate they are about their work and so skilled! I loved to help them in their workspace and try my hands on the wheels. They took time to explain how they work, how the tasks were done and… read more
We totally could come back there!

The tasks were not hard at all.
I liked the flat above their house which gave a little privacy even if there was another helper. I could choose when to start my work, the latest beeing 10am which is very nice.
Liz and Craig are very nice people you can always talk to. Liz… read more
