  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of three, Anna, Hamish and Ada and a dog called Russ, chickens and four cows. We are looking for ideally a couple who like painting and staining. We have a few painting and staining jobs we would love to get done. If you work well independently and can paint and stain with pride, we would love to hear from you. In return, we have a lovely two-bedroom self-contained cottage to offer Workaway people in a rural setting close to beaches, hills and the community centre. The Moutere has lots on offer!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We offer a self-contained two-bedroom cottage. This has a lovely pot belly fire to keep you cosy as well as heaters and electric blankets. This cottage is renovated to a pretty high standard, as it's usually on a rental platform when not hosting volunteers.

    As our accommodation is to a much higher standard of other places, we offer shared dinner only. We would love to share some dinners; however, with a 4-year-old, we do eat very early, so only if that suits the workers. Otherwise, ingredients will be supplied to be self-contained, or, if you would like to supply your own ingredients, we can just give you a lighter workload.
