Description
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.

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.

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.
