  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We have been hosts for many years and enjoy sharing our place with like minded people.
  We are invested in doing our bit to improve our world and to adventure in our local area and around the world. We are both knowledgeable about NZ's flora and fauna and have worked in this field.
  We live in the oldest house in our area which is listed with historic places trust. It's in a reserve and surrounded by oak trees and natives.

  Ayuda

  Kia ora koutou.
  
  Projects now (heading into Summer): staining decks, gardening, painting, general maintenance, apple orchard work.
  
  We have many landscaping projects and gardening on the go. There will also be other tasks such as washing down the house, firewood splitting, deck staining, etc, as well as help on our trial apple orchard. It depends what time of the year as to what we're doing.
  
  There is always plenty of variety, and you don't have to be an experienced gardener - just have lots of enthusiasm and energy for the work. We prefer people to come as a pair as we're not always able to work with you.

  We have two older children who often stay but live elsewhere. There is also a very old dog!
  
  We would expect you to share in the household tasks while you're here and take your turn in cooking.
