Descripción
We have a large kiwi woolshed we have turned into an amazing funky home and apartment. It is set on a beautiful farm property with forests and a creek and many animals.
We are close to the Waitaki river and the lakes for swims and fishing over summer.
We enjoy wholesome yummy food and enjoy cooking often with organic produce from the garden.
We run accomodation too at the Woolshed. There is a Woodfired hot tub.
Looking to host one motivated helper at the moment.

We collect a number of musical instruments to play. Baby grand piano, guitars, drums and so many more.
We enjoy hearing where people are from and share a cultural exchange, learning about you and your culture.
We make yummy food.
You could learn basic drumming, ukulele, bass guitar playing, longboard skateboarding. We live at the bottom of a club ski field and locals often go up on the weekend over winter.
I'm interested in herbal medicine from the plants on the land and enjoy harvesting and making tinctures, balms & preserving fruit.

There are some great trips around the area. Hikes and mountain climbs for the adventurous. The river and lakes are so beautiful and well worth exploring as are the elephant rocks. It would be good if you had your own car or we travel to Oamaru so could pick you up on certain days.

We spent a week at Bianca's in 2020 and had a wonderful time! Her house is amazing, super cool decorated! Our room was very comfortable, the meals absolutely delicious, and the work (mostly in the garden or horse paddock) was fun and not too hard. Thank you for a wonderful stay and the opportunity to ride DJ Mango!

It was, really fun to have Leah come help us out on the farm. Her fun inquisitive character was nice to have around. She helped tackle some weeds and helped process some trees in the forest.
Really appreciated her help and had fun singing and playing guitar. Look forward to her returning in winter for a ski holiday.

It was such a treat to have Auriane help us out on the farm. Her love of animals and care was so great and we entrusted her to housesit for us in our air bnb. She had great, experience with cows so was able to help us feed them.
Really hope to see her and her family at some point when they visit New Zealand.

We enjoyed having Gabriel here very much. He has left his mark on our landscape with his wonderful work. He landscaped in some big paver steps that we use every day and it is a lovely reminder of his great work. He was so lovely with all the animals. We would love to welcome him back sometime. Gabriel is a great cook too. Wonderful person.
