Descrição
We are a happy semi retired couple who enjoy living on our 8 acre lifestyle block on the edge of the great rural village of Cheviot in North Canterbury. We are a 1 hour drive from Kaikoura to the north; 1 hour 45 mins to Christchurch City in the south; and 1 hour to the Hanmer Village natural hot pools, among the mountains in the west. The beautiful Gore Bay beach settlement is 8k away and is a popular surf spot.
The village is 15 minutes walk away from our house where there is a supermarket, a general store, a gift shop, a cafe and a Hotel/bar/restaurant/liquor store.
Out in the paddocks we have a number of sheep, goats, chickens (and a rooster called Russell Crow) as well as 2 cats who live in the house. There is a large flower garden and vegetable garden both of which are in need of clearing and some 'tlc' along with assorted fruit trees and berry bushes.
We would love to host couples exploring Aotearoa/New Zealand in exchange for 4-5 hours help with various tasks around our land, animals and house.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Ajuda
Practical skills would be appreciated to help with gardening (hedge trimming, weeding, etc.), preparation & painting window frames, general maintenance, assistance with building farm buildings etc. A mixture of tasks would depend on skills and occasionally just help with housework and cooking would work too.

There is a shared bathroom/toilet and a second toilet in the laundry. There is plenty of space with 2 lounges one with a pool table. There is a dining area inside and out on the deck and comfy chairs on the veranda which look out over the paddocks off to the hills in the distance.
