  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in a small rural community with many other families hosting people from all over the world. Our community is very welcoming and we are only 30 minutes drive from Alexandra where there are lots of local gyms, sports clubs, and social activities.
  We would love to share our skills and knowledge with our workaway, teaching them about our animals and gardening. We operate our own plumbing business and an outfitting business which hosts people from around the world from Feb-June
  We love being outdoors and will happily take our workaday on our adventures with us.

  Help

  Ideally looking for someone wanting to stay for a longer period of time.
  We are looking for someone to help us out around the house and in the gardens for a couple of hours each day and keep an eye on our 2 year old daughter one day a week.
  
  Working hours are flexible so you would have plenty of time for an additional job if you wanted to earn some extra money (e.g. vineyards, orchard work, agricultural work, retail etc), and you would have the weekends free for exploring our beautiful country.
