    Kia Ora!
    My husband Philip and I are looking for a hand on our lifestyle block 5 mins drive from Te Anau. We are on the main road to Milford Sound and have so many great outdoor activities on our doorstep. We have a one year old daughter and a pet dog.

    We would appreciate help restoring our veggie patch which has been neglected for a few years, cooking, pruning, tidying up around the place and possibly childcare. We also have a chook run that needs a good clean out (if you're game!).

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You would be living in our family home but have the entire second storey to yourself. You would share the main bathroom. I’m happy to cook, but if you enjoy cooking and want to be involved that is also welcome. We only have one double bed available so would suit a single or a couple better than two friends.
