Descripción
I am looking for workaways for an eco project, replacing introduced wild gorse with NZ native plants.
We are also looking for people to do some polishing on our launch Pandanusa (see photo).
We are a couple who moved to Waikawa, Marlborough Sounds in 2015. We have a 36 foot launch and a small racing yacht and love to get away to enjoy the Marlborough Sounds.
The Marlborough Sounds in summer is warm and in winter is lovely, no wind and generally perfect days. Come and explore the Marlborough Sounds with free accommodation (your own room and bathroom) and food. We are a few minutes walk from Waikawa Bay and 40 mins walk from Picton. We can sometimes arrange sailing, racing and boating if you are interested.
Thank you for looking at this listing. Please email me if you are interested.

While my husband is out on the water many days a week, I love to garden and cook. I'm keen on food self sufficiency and regenerating NZ bush.
Ayuda
We have been planting native trees in an area in Waikawa and need help doing this. The tasks involved are weeding, cutting back and planting natives. Our preferred length of stay is a week with 4-5 hours work per day, 5 days per week. House work may be an option if its raining.
If you like boats we have a launch that requires polishing.
These tasks involve physical work and require an ability to use gardening tools, to work hard physically and use your muscles. You need to be fit. Over clothes and gloves will be provided. Gumboots and boots if you have medium to big feet.
If you want to do the polishing job all materials will be supplied.
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Alojamiento
A double bed or twin room with a bathroom (shower/bath with separate toilet and handbasins). Sometimes we have other people staying, then you will need to share the bathroom. 3 substantial meals a day provided, eating with the family. We'd love you to cook a meal from your homeland one night. We have a non smoking policy.
Algo más...
We have enjoyed having workaways, backpackers and cultural exchange students visit us. Its great meeting people from around the world and sharing ideas, recipes and general knowledge. We enjoy showing people the Marlborough Sounds from our launch (if we are going out) and can sometimes arrange sailing and yacht racing on certain days.
There are great local walks in generating native bush, swimming at the beach (5 mins walk away) and Kaipupu Reserve can be visited by taking a trip on a local mail boat.

We've spent 6 lovely days with Mandy and Rob. We helped planting trees, picking gorse and trimming the fence. Mandy cooked really amazing meals and they even took us to the boating club. There both really friendly people and easy to talk to. We can totally recommend them! Thank you for this lovely time!
