Description
*Ideally looking for an independent couple who have their own transport, long term preferred
Hi, we are a local family living on a 40 acre life style block 15 minutes drive out of beautiful lake Wanaka. We are looking for help in a variety of things but the main part will be weeding, clearing out dead bush and planting native trees. We are looking for a self sufficient couple who are hard workers and can have a good laugh, will need your own transport as there is no public transport that runs out to our property. Ideal for travelers who are sick of living in their van and after a few more luxuries :)
Accommodation: You will have your own hut nestled away in native bush , this hut contains 1 double bed, hot shower, toilet, kitchen, laundry, fridge/freezer, lounge and a sun room
Food: You'll have to cook your own food, but there is a fully equipped kitchen in your hut and we will give you $200 towards food each week
Hours: You can start and finish whenever you please but we will be asking for 20 hours for the week

We have lived in Wanaka for 20 years and our Parents have been in the area their whole life so we have plenty of local knowledge of mountain bike & walking trails, me and my brother have both traveled the length of the country in our vans so we can provide plenty of travel tips for the rest of your stay in NZ.

What else ...
On your time off there are plenty of beautiful places to park up and read a book or just enjoy the views on our land, a river walking track just down the hill. There are also a larger number of hiking trails in and around the Wanaka are, really good mountain biking trails and a beautiful lake to explore
