Description
Hi there, we are sheep & beef farmers and would welcome help from non smoking couples (male/female) ranging from gardening to animal care.
We farm 5 km from the small town of Cheviot (1.5 hours north of Christchurch & 1 hour south of Kaikoura).
There are some awesome views to the mountains from our farm. The farm is set in a peaceful location and the self contained accommodation is private and separate from the house.
It is best suited to COUPLES who like privacy. We supply accommodation and basic food allowance in return for 4 hours help a day. Any questions please email. Kind Regards Hamish

We spent an amazing month on the farm.
Not only is Hamish an awesome and kind person (and the rest of the family, too!!), we also learnt so much! We were involved in all farm duties like moving sheep, vet appointments, reparings around the farm etc.
We enjoyed our stay in the little cabin in the farms woods with so much nature all around us.… read more

We had an awesome stay for two weeks on the farm. We lived in a cabin near the House and the nearby WiFi-Hut (Like they call it). The cabin has everything you need for a comfortable time. The farm itself is well maintained and carefully looked after by Hamish and the whole family. It's very exciting to learn about all the things you need to know… read more

We really enjoyed our stay with Hamish. We did farmwork, gardening, helping with the animals. Hamish makes sure you don't do to much of the same thing and makes sure you experience every part of the farm. The views on the farm are just magnificent! The cabin was so cozy and we really liked it! He also gave us some good tips for walks around… read more

We stayed 1 week to Hamish farm and it was a great experience ! Hamish is very attentive and manage to find tasks that you're interested in. We help him with tree planting (to reduce our carbon footprint haha), with lamb feeding, caring wood, and sheep and calf management. It was a great experience and we learned a lot about farm life and New… read more

We had an amazing time working with Hamish on his farm. We did something different every day, and worked closely with his animals enough toget a real sense of what it's like to be a farmer! Riding across his beautiful property on a quadbike to move flocks of sheep or cows will remain one of our favorite memories in NZ. Hamish is friendly, funny,… read more

Asbjorn & Catrine are a lovely couple and a fantastic help!!!!! They were always prepared to try new things and also help out longer on the busier days with stock work. I could trust them fully with using the motorbikes and gear which they treated with respect. They stayed here for 8 weeks and we were sad to see them go.
Kind Regards Hamish

I loved my experience working on this farm.

There was a lot to participate in. Working in the mornings was really nice because we got done before the sun was really harsh and… read more

We stayed for 1.5 month at the Pain farm and we loved every second of it. We planned to stay for only a month but liked the place so much that is was hard to leave. The first week we stayed in the trailer in the woolshed and after this week we moved to the beautiful and new build container/cabin, which was great.

We stayed two weeks on Hamish' farm and it was a superb time. The jobs we had were varying and we had fun doing all of them (especially the work with the sheeps was a great experience) Our accommodation was a caravan and we were provided with more then enough food to cook on our own. Nevertheless Hamish also included us in the family life and we… read more
