Description
Come for 4-5 days. Enjoy the country life, help with jobs and enjoy pets and rural living. We have beef and dairy farms just out of Bulls.
We have 4 children (17, 16, 14and 13) a number of pets and a large garden and home that would be very grateful for some attention and assistance.
We would love some help in the garden and around the house!
Jobs could include - garden maintenance, helping with feeding animals, cleaning windows, washing the house (outside), weeding in the garden!
We have a bedroom off our garage and bathroom for you to use. Or possibly a cottage if you wanted to be a bit more self sufficient.
4 hours work a day will give you meals and board.
There is lots to do near here, 10 mins from the beach and river, 2 hours from the ski fields, 2 hours from Wellington, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Taupo.
We would prefer a couple mid-late 20's or older, you must have your own vehicle. -
