Description
Kia Ora. We have a section on the outskirts of Lake Hawea township which is a 20 minute drive north of Wanaka. If you have transport that makes it much easier.
My husband Fin is a woodcraftsman. (He was a buddhist monk (Theravada tradition) for 17 years who still meditates). Skilled or unskilled help for Fin is great. Other jobs could be in the veggie garden, planting trees, general section maintenance, housework or cooking.
I am a professional singer, marriage celebrant, support worker, puppeteer and Cook. We look forward to meeting you and you enjoying the beautiful area we live in.
We would like a trial period of two nights to make sure everone gets on and you are good workers! We are easy-going but we like enthusiastic, friendly people who can work too! You will be expected to act as a guest in our home i.e. everyday chores (dishes) in addition to your help hours.
We are very keen on musicians, builders, gardeners, great cooks and spanish-speakers! We have 2 dogs.
We have ride-on kayaks and bikes (in varying states of disrepair) you're welcome to use.
We love people who are fast responders!

This was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have been luckier. The work was never too hard and always flexible. Pip teaches you whatever you need and even takes you to visit her farm,… read more
Added bonus - he is a lovely person and good fun. Do yourself a favour and get him if you can! You’ll be sad to see him leave.
