Description
Kia ora,
We are Chloë & Liam (+ 4.5yo & 1yo) - living in the Māniatoto, Central Otago, South Island on a sheep and beef farm.
We are inland, up high, about 2 hours from Dunedin and 2 hours from Queenstown/Wanaka.
We will provide a fully self contained cottage for you to stay in (2 bedrooms, one with 1 SK bed, one with 2 single beds).
We are looking for a solo traveller, couple of friends, or couple to help us put our garden to bed for the winter (we have a large section with some plantings planned, a herb garden, and new permaculture style food forest in the beginning stages).
