  Description

  We're a family of four living in the wee wine village of Martinborough (walking distance to the town center and public transport). As we have two small children, our house and garden upkeep has gotten away on us!

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  Gardening

  DIY and building projects

  Babysitting and creative play

  Help around the house

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We're an easy-going family who enjoy travelling and experiencing new places and cultures, so love the opportunity to share and learn from others.
  
  We love growing veggies, making sauces, and preserving/canning food. We also have a good sourdough starter and bake every second day after picking it up last year. For any that are interested, we would be keen to show you what we do (dependent on time of year for fruit).

  Help

  We'd love some help in and around the garden and house exterior. Simple things like weeding, trimming trees, staining the deck etc. We have large veggie beds that need some planting as well. Alternativley, if its not garden stuff, house washing, painting, pressure washing etc. If you have experience with small children, I can do those kinds of jobs while you hang out with the kids.

  Accommodation

  We have a small house by our main house so you have your own private space (bathroom and cooking facilities). We're more than happy to share a few meals a week and provide fresh sourdough as needed. But for the most part, we will provide most of your food (anything outside of the ordinary you will need to buy), and you will cook for yourself.
