Description
A pretty little 5 acre character lifestyle block 20 minutes from the city of Invercargill or 10 minutes from the lovely town of Winton. Would suit an animal lover as in residence are 3 dogs, 2 cats, 11 chooks and two horses. There are also some cute cattle and sheep boarding. An opportunity to enjoy a quiet rural setting and relax but near enough the city for the "coffee culture"
In the past, on my previous property have hosted Woofers and really enjoyed the experience and have made some great friends along the way.

Happy to take experienced riders out on my spare horse, there are some amazing beaches to ride on and other designated horse trails. Please note there is an 80kg weight limit for this. Opportunity improve horse riding skills, gardening knowledge and perhaps learn a little about DIY. Able to show guests the surrounding area both countryside and city and include in local events if desired. Near enough Fiordland to travel to on days off.
Aide
I am looking for some help around the house, possibly some painting and gardening, nothing that I would not be prepared to to myself. ie pruning, picking up branches and weed whacking moving trailers of soil. Some work will be quite physical so must be prepared for that. Help with the horses if capable, exercising the dogs and feeding the chooks. No experience necessary but must be willing to learn. I have 3 demanding dogs so if you are not a dog lover then this is not for you.

Hébergement
Own large bedroom and two bathrooms in the house so no sharing. I am vegetarian so if you want to eat meat I have no objection but must we willing to buy and cook it yourself. If you are happy to share the cooking then that is a bonus.. Excellent Starlink internet.
Autres infos...
Note the horse riding is not considered work, this is something I am happy to accommodate in your free time if desired and you are considered capable. No public transport but only 15 minutes from the city so could drop guests off if they want to do a bit of shopping.
