Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I have travelled widely and have an extensive library of New Zealand and other books. Travellers would gain an insight into rural living in a very supportive community. We are happy to help travellers improve their English and learn about New Zealand native plants and birds
Aide
Help for four/five hours a day which may be fencing, carting firewod, gardening, fruit picking or tidying sheds. We are very flexible and often helpers will do a full day with the next day free to explore with picnic provided. Some knowledge of plants is a help but not necessary as we can teach helpers the difference between weeds and desirable plants. Chain saw experience a bonus

They helped remove piles of dead branches, picked grapes, apples, collected walnuts and were always willing to do that little bit extra. All the best Marie and Jeremy
We spent almost 10 days there, and they were amazing with us.
