Description
*Looking to take on 6 people for 2 weeks from the 25th of September until the 9th of October :)
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 6 people who are hard workers and can have a good laugh. We have 1 cabin with a double bed and a second cabin that has 2 double beds in it so we are looking for couples or people traveling together that want to share a bed. We have hot showers, toilets, and a kitchen in each cabin and a laundry, fridge/freezer, lounge and a sun room in the larger one. There is no wifi in the cabins but you can come down and use mine when you need
Food: We will provide yummy food Monday-Friday then you will be on your own for the weekend :)
Hours: We normally work from 8:30-12:30 Monday- Friday but that's flexible, its just more fun to have everyone working as a group -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
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
