Description
We are a relaxed Kiwi/German couple on a 2.5 ha lifestyle block in Buccleuch, with 3 cats (wild cats who seem to have adopted us) and a handful of sheep. We are only a stone throw away from the Hakatere Conservation Area in Mid Canterbury and Mt Hutt (The area lies between the Rakaia River and the Rangitata River and the highlight of the area being the many beautiful high-country lakes). We live in one of the oldest houses in the district and have plenty of room for visitors.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Being a mixed cultural household (Gudrun from Germany and John from NZ), we understand travelling and learning about the host country. We also understand that it is sometimes good to take stock about the recent experiences. While we are away during the day you would have peace and quiet and at night we are happy sitting and chatting over dinner.
Aide
Both working away from our home, we are mostly looking for help with our garden (weeding, lawn mowing or basic trimming) and household. Being able to cook basic meals (or as fancy as you like) would be great and baking is always welcome. We also have sheep and cattle on a different property where some assistance is needed at times. Depending on skill level there could be fencing or small maintenance tasks but that is not expected.
Help hours are flexible but in general 4-5 hours/ 5 days week.

Hébergement
We have 1 double bedroom in the house and a single sleep out. The bathroom is shared but we have 2 toilets.
Food items will be provided, and we will take our guests preferences into consideration. Breakfast and lunch you will look after yourself only and cooking of the evening meal can be a shared.
We are a non-smoking household.
Autres infos...
Living rural with no public transport, a car is of advantage. Pick up in Ashburton can be arranged on workdays. Numerous walks are close by and we are happy to help with transport to some of the local walks. Mt Somers is 1688m high and a challenging walk but plenty of less strenuous options are available.
