Beschreibung
Hi, I am a 57 year old non smoking vegan, but very young at heart.
I used to do a lot of travelling in my youth and I would like to do more now that I am free from responsibilty and debt again. I have two fantastic kids who are now grown up and living their own lives, so I have quit my job of 25 years (bus driving) and am willing to travel anywhere to make a positive difference to somebody's life and the planet, as a vegan volunteer I will consider all kinds of work except where it involves harming or using animals against their will.
I am fit and healthy and have no health conditions.
Although not qualified, I have a lot of experience of general D.I.Y. maintenance and will give anything a go.

Paul was an excellent helper on the Sanctuary, finding all these little things that need fixing :) He was great with the animals, a wonderful whole foods plant-based cook and a pleasure to have. Thanks Paul and happy to have you back if you're ever coming again to NZ!

Paul stayed with us for 5 weeks and what a difference he made! He built two shelters by himself, one was large enough for camels. This involved using the digger, auger and bucket as well as concrete. He fixed and did so many things, I lost count. He helped me drive back and forth many times for over an hour's drive for a rescue. We rescued a baby… read more

What a FANTASTIC place!
I stayed here for just over a month and really enjoyed it. Lynne is a brilliant host and the accomodation and food provided were lovely. I managed to get a lot of work done but I wish I could have stayed longer to finish other tasks, maybe next time. The dogs, camels, sheep and other animals were absolutely gorgeous and i… read more

Paul was an absolute asset to the centre whilst he was here. He was very skilled at all the tasks we gave him - including garden work, landscaping, building, maintenance and lots of other odd jobs. He worked very hard and got on brilliantly with all residents and volunteers. He was also very good at showing others how to do tasks and problem… read more

Fantastic place, I stayed here for 3 weeks over Xmas and New Year and helped to get a lot of work done. All the residents and volunteers were great, the food was lovely and always a vegan option. I would love to come back again sometime, a great experience. 💚

Paul, was with us for around 4 weeks. He was a delightful gentle presence in the community. He had an excellent work ethic, often working longer in the day to finish a task. He was happy to do whatever was asked of him and was able to engage fully in whatever task he undertook, whether it was digging holes, carpentry, fetching and carrying.
He… read more

I have been at this place for 4 weeks and it has been a great experience. The long-term residents and workaway volunteers have been fantastic, it's like being part of a big dysfunctional family, (I think I was Uncle Fester), we had a lot of fun, there is always plenty of work, which I thoroughly enjoyed and the regular communal meals were so… read more

I only stayed from Sunday to Friday as I was just passing through, but I had a great time while there. Sky is great, very friendly and a fantastic cook. During my short stay we had a solstice party around the fire in the garden with lots of Sky's friends, and to say goodbye to Hector, another workawayer. I learned some new spiritual ways and also… read more

I spent a month here from the beginning of June, '22 and really enjoyed the experience, so many wonderful animals to spend time with. Hermione is very friendly and obviously cares for all the residents, including the other volunteers.
I will miss everyone and would visit and work here again if I am in the area with time to spare.

I enjoyed the last 2 weeks in April staying in the caravan at Sophia's property. There was plenty of work to be done, and though my time was limited, as I had other commitments elsewhere, I got quite a lot done. Sophia is lovely company, and I was lucky to be there with two other workaways, Yan and Nanoka, both were lots of fun to be around, even… read more

I spent a fantastic four weeks here, helping Emma with lots of various jobs, finishing the cladding on the wood store, splitting lots of wood to fill that wood store as well as many other tasks. I was often left alone to get on with it, which I thrived on, but also enjoyed working with Emma and other volunteers sometimes. I learned a lot about… read more
