Description
My property is situated in the beautiful Clarence Valley on the North Kaikoura Coast with easy access to ocean, river and mountains. I am looking for people with practical skills in gardening, cleaning and building maintenance to help me maintain my large rural property. There are plenty of outdoor activities and your food is often fresh from the garden. I prefer to speak with helpers by phone before they come to ensure a good 'fit' with my needs.

Where to start! I spent 10 days with Lynda (and Lulu) on her beautiful property, and it was an unforgettable experience. The work was varied and interesting, and all very enjoyable, I found. But really for me what set the experience apart from the rest was Lynda herself. She is a wonderful person. Kind, generous, funny and inclusive.We shared… read more

I had a wonderful time with Katy. She was my helper for about ten days and undertook all of the tasks I gave her with enthusiasm and competence. These included gardening, hedge trimming, lawn mowing, cleaning, dog walking and numerous other bits and pieces. Most significantly, she joined my ukulele band for a performance, playing drum and singing… read more

Clemens is an awesome work away helper. His profile is really accurate, and I highly recommend him to any host. He will give anything a go and will finish the job to a high standard. He works well on his own and is a good problem solver. As a guest I equally enjoyed his company. He is friendly and warm. He takes a genuine interest in lifestyle and… read more

The short time with Lynda was really nice.

Having Bill here to help me for three and a half weeks was an absolute godsend. Bill can turn his hand to anything, (although he'd rather not garden). He can fix anything, paint anything, clean anything, and he walked my dog every day and treated her with as much love as I do. if you get an approach from Bill to come and help you, you are very… read more

Anna is an exceptional workaway and I cannot rate her highly enough. She is friendly, relaxed, reliable and interested in others. She is a very willing helper. She is a pleasure to have around. While here she gardened, cleaned and cooked. She bonded with my dog and cared for her when I wasn't here. Thank you Anna for all your help.

Thank you so much Lynda! I had an amazing time at your place. We had yummy, selfmade bread and veggie dishes together. We enjoyed the sun together in the garden and Lynda showed me the Clarence Valley close by. The work in the garden was a pleasure to me and Lynda always made sure I’m happy and comfortable.
