Explore the lovely town of Oamaru in beautiful New Zealand

  Beschreibung

  I'm Jo and my daughter, Chantelle, and I live on a beautiful property 6 minutes from the seaside town of Oamaru.
  
  We have six Highland Cows, five sheep, four chickens and a duck. In addition we fostered unwanted and abandoned cats and kittens and when we decided to leave Australia we brought the cats that nobody wanted with us! If you have allergies I would not recommend that you stay with us.
  
  I worked at a University in Australia but am now retired (although I have never worked so hard in my life as I do now!) and Chantelle is an editor and works from home.
  
  We need help planting trees, seeds and shrubs, maintaining the garden and caring for the animals. There is a lot to do and we are keen to host people willing to get stuck in to farm life.
  
  The things we value in life are peace and harmony. We are fortunate enough to live in a tiny pocket of paradise in a beautiful country, and wish the same for every living soul on earth. Everyone has the right to live freely, to be safe and to have the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Like-minded travellers are welcome in our home.
  
  Short-term is fine for our place, but we are flexible.
  
  We can only host non-smokers and non-vapers.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We can help you with your English and share our knowledge of Australia and New Zealand. If you are planning a trip to Auckland we can tell you about amazing places to visit that you won't find in the tourist brochures AND you can see the Aurora from Oamaru. :)

  Arbeit

  We would be delighted if you can spend some time with us helping with gardening - pruning, digging, planting, fertilising and clearing fallen branches. We are looking for hardworkers, as we work hard!
  
  We would expect just 3 hours of focused and efficient help a day so that you have plenty of time to explore the area and have fun.
  
  On the day of your arrival we would ask you to make up your bed and on the day of your departure we ask you to put your bedding into the washing machine.
  
  In return for just three hours of help per day we can provide you with a comfortable bed in our home plus breakfast and dinner. It would be great if you can also help with cooking and cleaning up after yourself.
  
  We would expect that you would be out and about exploring during the day and would take care of your own lunch but if you are home you can help yourself, or make lunch for us all, or we'll make lunch for you!
  
  We are meat-eaters and are happy to try and cater for vegetarians and vegans, as long as you don't judge us - we've been judged for our choices before and it is a bit uncomfortable. :) If meat-eaters offend you please try to find a vegetarian / vegan family with whom to stay.
  
  Non-smokers and non-vapers only, please. This is a deal-breaker!

  Was noch ...

  We are keen to host travellers who like to go out and explore during the day. This gives us our space and down-time that we need but if we are going exploring we can take you with us!
  
  We are a 6 minute drive to the centre of town.
  
  If you can spend three hours a day helping out, and working on your own with minimal instruction at times, and do a good job that you are proud of, we would love to hear from you! If you are looking to take it easy, this is not the property for you!
  
  Hours are negotiable...I am sure we can work something out so that we all get something positive out of this experience.
