Description
Hello World, Welcome back!
We are dairy farmers in the Far North. We are looking for someone wanting to explore the Far North and offset their accommodation/board by doing some cleaning, cooking and gardening.
We are about to start calving. So you can negotiate some farm work into your exchange if you choose. This is not a requirement. But we understand many people would like to accompany us throughout the day learning about how a dairy farm operates at this exciting (and incredibly busy) time of the year.
We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 child and a whole lot of cows, turkeys, quails and other assorted wild life.
You will have your own bedroom in a private area of the house. The bathroom is shared (but only when we have visitors).
You will be asked to share in the cooking and cleaning duties required to keep a house clean and tidy and functioning.
It is important to note that we are very rural. We do not have bus services etc at our doorstep. If you stay we are happy to drop off at spots when convenient - but you will be based at the farm most of the time unless you have your own transport. This is not a worry for most people who enjoy the farm experience, wide open spaces, views to the ocean and good company.
We are experienced hosts who enjoy meeting people from around the world. We have hosted single women, males, young honeymooning couples through to families with kids.
Weather and time-dependent one of our favourite activities is to take our guests down the beach and put the Kontiki out.
We eat meat with most dinners. Being a dairy farm - we have access to home-kill beef. This is predominantly the meat eaten at the main meal.
No smokers.
