Description
Welcome to my Andalusian horse farm located in stunning Queenstown, New Zealand. I am looking for a single person without children.
Here, you can enjoy spending time at my beautiful property near the Shotover River, and enjoy local hikes around crystal clear lakes and breathtaking Mountain Views, fishing, biking or just reading a book in the beautiful gardens during your free time.
Luxury accommodation provided with your own bedroom and bathroom and possibly a car to borrow. The farm is close to walking and biking trails, and the bus stop is only 5 minutes walk away.
i am looking for an experienced horse handler who can help with feeding, rugging and mucking out.
This is not a business so there is no payment, just volunteer hours in exchange for accommodation.
I am happy if you do 15-20 volunteer hours a week. 15 hours if i just provide accommodation, or 25 hours if I provide food as well.
It doesn't matter if you don't speak much English well. I can help you and the horses are multi-lingual. 😉

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Queenstown is one of the most beautiful and friendliest towns in New Zealand. Many people think it's the best spot in the country. We have a lovely balance of rural and city lifestyles.
I will endeavor to show you the best parts of our lifestyle and location and make sure you have a wonderful NZ experience.
Help
This is a private farm. Not a business. Here are some of the typical tasks: feeding, grooming and rugging the horses, exercising and training horses if you are an experienced rider, shopping, house cleaning.
I have just injured myself, so these jobs that I usually do myself, I now need help with.
I would like to think that I'm respectful, and polite and I would like to host someone who has similar standards and will take care of my property.
