  • Description

    Description

    We have recently moved here, (May 2026) previously from Southland. There is some occasional help needed in the vines/vegetable garden and in return can offer lovely accommodation in a beautiful location.
    You would have your own end of the house with your own bathroom, living room and TV.
    We also have a house in Cromwell you could stay in from time to time.
    If you have any time, your help would be appreciated 😌

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are on a small vineyard only minutes from Alexandra/ Clyde and central to many other beautiful places in Central Otago.
    We love hearing about life in other countries and have made some wonderful new friends in the past. We have two outdoor dogs, Mags and Joss who love to potter in the garden and amongst the grounds with us and also a lovely big cat, Benny, who often thinks he is one of the dogs.
