Description
Myself (Emily, from UK), my partner Sam (Kiwi) and our two young children (1yr and 3ys) are looking for fun, friendly workawayers to stay with us on our beautiful rural property in the Wairarapa, only 10 minutes from Masterton and Carterton. We live on a farm with sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, dogs and a cat.
A great opportunity for someone to get the complete rural experience in return for some help with kids, animals, around the garden, light house work and cooking. The Wairarapa has some stunning spots to explore in your free time.
Would suit people who are active, sociable and don't mind being part of a noisy, busy household. We prefer people who can drive so that they have autonomy to enjoy the area during their stay but this isn’t essential.
