  Description

  Hi everyone,
  I’d love to welcome a couple of travellers to help me with my garden and a house renovation project here in rural Canterbury.
  My dog Mia and I live on a beautiful, spacious property in Glentui (about 45 minutes from Christchurch). The place is still a work in progress, but it’s a great spot if you’re looking to park up, relax, and stay in one place for a few days.
  
  What’s on offer:
  Plenty of space for cars/vans to park
  Peaceful rural setting with lots of great walks nearby
  I also have a big bonfire that we could light one evening with a beer and good company 🍻
  
  What I’m looking for help with:
  General garden work, and work around the house such as painting the last room. Or are you a keen cook? I can do the garden and you cook. Whatever works.
  
  Timing:
  Would be great to have you for a few days to a week during September or early Ocotber
  
  If you’re keen for a rural stay, I’d love to hear from you. Also happy to teach you about New Zealand, the lifestyle, or teach you a few German words since I moved here over a decade ago to NZ and learned lots along the way that could be handy for your travel.
  
  Cheers,
  Miriam 🙋‍♀️ & Mia 🐕
