We would love 1-2 people who are okay with a short stay to help finish some projects on our new house.

We have a 2 storey house, and you will have your own private area downstairs, bikes for your use ( a sofa bed and futon).
The help is at our house and no profitable or paying guests help is required, it is only personal help around our home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have travelled and volunteered abroad many times, so can assist in making this a positive cultural exchange.
We used to host on a farm / winrery so are familiar with hosting
Here is a review from some previous guest to our farm
Review from Sonali and Manu of India;
"Our stay with Louise at her organic farmstay was fantastic! My husband and I were travelling from India to South Australia, and needed a place to stay. A friend suggested Louise's place, and all our communication with her, right from the start, felt so comfortable and thoughtful, and she made us feel very welcome. Our stay was really wonderful and a memory we'll cherish for a lifetime. Her home is a very relaxing and well done space. We were happy to help, but as a host, Louise also made all the arrangements to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The home itself is very spacious and we had a bedroom to ourselves. The views are beautiful and you can enjoy peace and quiet on the property. Anyone staying and helping at Louise's farm will surely enjoy their stay."
