Descripción
Hi there we are sheep & beef farmers and would welcome help from non smoking couples (male/female) ranging from gardening to animal care.
We farm 5 km from a small town of Cheviot (1.5 hours north of Christchurch & 1 hour south of Kaikoura).
There are some awesome views to the mountains from our farm. The farm is set in a peaceful location and self contained accommodation is private and separate from the house.
It is best suited to COUPLES who like privacy but we do try to include you with our family when possible. We supply all basic food and accommodation in return for 4 hours help a day. Any questions please email. Kind Regards Hamish

We really enjoyed our stay with Hamish. We did farmwork, gardening, helping with the animals. Hamish makes sure you don't do to much of the same thing and makes sure you experience every part of the farm. The views on the farm are just magnificent! The cabin was so cozy and we really liked it! He also gave us some good tips for walks around… read more

We wish they had more time to stay longer but understand that they had a very busy driving calendar to follow.

We stayed 1 week to Hamish farm and it was a great experience ! Hamish is very attentive and manage to find tasks that you're interested in. We help him with tree planting (to reduce our carbon footprint haha), with lamb feeding, caring wood, and sheep and calf management. It was a great experience and we learned a lot about farm life and New… read more

We had an amazing time working with Hamish on his farm. We did something different every day, and worked closely with his animals enough toget a real sense of what it's like to be a farmer! Riding across his beautiful property on a quadbike to move flocks of sheep or cows will remain one of our favorite memories in NZ. Hamish is friendly, funny,… read more

We were very lucky to have George stay with us for 2.5 weeks. His English is good and he is a good worker. He did all jobs to a high standard and we could trust him when left alone to do jobs. He has a good sense of humour and is good company out on the farm. We wish George well on his future travels and anyone who his lucky enough to host George… read more

Asbjorn & Catrine are a lovely couple and a fantastic help!!!!! They were always prepared to try new things and also help out longer on the busier days with stock work. I could trust them fully with using the motorbikes and gear which they treated with respect. They stayed here for 8 weeks and we were sad to see them go.
Kind Regards Hamish

I loved my experience working on this farm. Every day was different so there was a lot to learn and experience: shifting stock, stock yard work, repairing fences, painting, helping on shearing day, stacking firewood... There was a lot to participate in. Working in the mornings was really nice because we got done before the sun was really harsh and… read more

Linucia & Dieuwe are a lovely couple!!!!!! They are great helpers!!! Always friendly and gentle with machinery. They have a natural way with stock.

We stayed for 1.5 month at the Pain farm and we loved every second of it. We planned to stay for only a month but liked the place so much that is was hard to leave. The first week we stayed in the trailer in the woolshed and after this week we moved to the beautiful and new build container/cabin, which was great.
Normally we worked from 8 in the… read more

We stayed two weeks on Hamish' farm and it was a superb time. The jobs we had were varying and we had fun doing all of them (especially the work with the sheeps was a great experience) Our accommodation was a caravan and we were provided with more then enough food to cook on our own. Nevertheless Hamish also included us in the family life and we… read more
