  Descrição

  Looking for a couple or 2 friends together, energetic, for all sorts of tasks in country life: gardening, firewood, help in our native trees reserve, feed chickens , possibly help with painting a cottage and sheds, some household chores and general tidying up around the property. At the moment we are looking specifically for people with real carpentry skills and experience in it, as well as bricklaying because we doing up a new accommodation cottage for our volunteers such as yourself. Our home is a heritage property and we want to preserve it well. Good English speakers, long term stayers preferred, we look for helpers year round.
  
  You will stay in your own independent section of the house and eat great food with us, live as part of the family. Free unlimited internet, tv etc . We have great views of Mt Hutt and Alps. We are 45 mins from Christchurch and 25 to Mt Hutt skifields. Great tourist area area here with skiing, bush walks, rivers (the mighty Rakaia) lakes etc
  
  We have had workawayers from various parts of the world for many years now and we really enjoy meeting people. Our children have left home, we have grandchildren, one of us is a teacher of languages, the other a builder and we own a luxury lodge with also three houses for guests who want self-catering accommodation .
  
  We cannot take smokers and no special diets (no vegetarians, no vegans no GF or any food fads). We welcome people who will really engage and tune in with what we are doing here, rather than be here on a 'casual holiday' or using us as a cheap way of living while working on your own business online giving priority to that instead of what we do here. If you are squeamish or 'delicate' this is not the place for you, we are in the country, totally rural NZ high country.
  
  There is no public transport where we are, so having your own vehicle is very advisable if you want to go and explore the countryside and general tourist area we are in. It is New Zealand.
