Description
🌞 Far North hosts looking for Workaway adventurers throughout Autumn - we have a beautiful 22acre rural lifestyle block 30mins south from Kaitaia . Mainly native bush, gardens and lots of big sky views.
We need extra hand preparing for winter 👋👋… with general tasks 3 hrs a day, There are a variety of things to do - such as gardening, firewood collection, painting, domestic chores and paddock weeding etc… we have chickens, a goat, cow and two dogs that will all love your attention too 🥰
We ask that helpers are non-smokers and have a positive attitude and good common sense to get stuck into tasks. 💪
In exchange we have a very comfortable bedroom (queen bed) with your own private bathroom and a seperate lounge in the house. Your evening meal with us is included and you have full wifi access (if you want it)
Otherwise it’s a great place to escape ‘offline’ enjoy the views and starry night skies.
We love to bbq and are keen meat eaters - enjoying raising and eating our own meat. We do not provide seperate vegetarian or vegan evening meal options.
Ideally we like helpers here for 1 week.
You are welcome to combine work hours to allow for days off and travel 👍 Cape Reinga and the beaches are very popular!
Although the evenings get cooler here in the Far North, we still enjoy 20C+ sunny days 🌞🌞🌞 in June and July - so you can escape the freezing cold of the South!
Message us if this sounds like your kind of adventure!
