Descrição
Hi, we are a couple of retired but active ex travellers on a lifestyle block, with a few chooks, and an old house with a nearly organic veggie patch and garden, looking for some help around the property in exchange for some food and board.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
This beautiful and special part of New Zealand deserves to be on your itinerary, but often gets missed in favour of the tourist hot spots.
We speak english and can attempt french.
We are flexitarian and make our own bread several times a week- depends upon how hungry you are! I'll do most of the cooking, but you are welcome to help- show us your favourites recipes too.
Vegetarian meals are frequent, but I have yet to master gluten free bread.
Sustainable lifestyle and organic(ish- we vaccinated & worm our sheep and cat) gardening as much as possible, and small holder farming practise e.g. chook and sheep management.
Ajuda
General physical tasks outdoors, wood chopping and stacking, mowing, weeding, looking for eggs, emptying gutters, painting etc etc! We can teach you any skills you may not already have. Jono has motor neurone disease, and is losing the use of his arms and legs, so we have just passed the sheep flock over to some friends. You would not be involved in any of his care, but we need help around the property for things that he is struggling with. Taranaki gets a lot of weather, with both high rainfall, and high sunshine hours so sometimes we need to work in wet weather gear.
There are some indoor jobs for if the weather is atrocious. We appreciate your cooking occasionally, and the dishwasher always needs emptying and refilling!
Idiomas

Acomodação
Own room in the house, 1 double bed, and separate own shower and toilet ( may have to share that bathroom with visiting family). Rain collection is our water tank supply so avoid long showers - unless the weather is rainy! !
Algo mais...
National park tramping and huts or surf beaches within a few Km, large park next door with brilliant mountain trails . There is no public transport from the town to here so you will need your own, use an uber or come with us if we are going to town. Cycling is NOT recommended on the main road- too dangerous, but there is a cool MTB track from our back yard to town that requires time ( an hour or so) and a bit of effort! There is parking on the grass in the orchard for your van if required.Trail running from our back door can be across farmland or through pine forest and around a lake.

Lorna and Jonathan welcomed me into their beautiful property for a week and I really enjoyed helping them by taking care of the outdoor areas. There is always plenty to do and the tasks are very diverse! Beyond the work, I was able to share many lovely moments with them and their family during different events.

Staying with Lorna and Jonathon has been one of the greatest highlights of my time in New Zealand. They are extremely kind, welcoming people. Their home is absolutely lovely, and I am so grateful I got the chance to stay and work for them.

Lorna and Jonathan were our first Workaway Hosts ever and it couldn't have been a better experience. They are so lovely people, so nice to talk to and very interested in cultural exchange. So it can easily happen to forget the time while talking to them. Lorna is also very good in cooking, there was not a single meal we didn't enjoy. Both of them… read more

Tuomas and Johanna are a lovely hard working couple exploring the world. We had some great discussions and they helped us a lot with all sorts of jobs - often in the rain ( been a wet spring !) on our patch. They did some good cooking which they were very modest about , we wish them well for the rest of their trip!

Lorna and Jonathan were amazing hosts. The work is varied and you won't be doinv the same thing every day (other than maybe weeding 🤪). I also went to a bunch of other activities with Lorna (yoga, zumba) and other social activities. When I wasn't working or at another activity, I was having lengthy chats with Jonathan. Definitely recommend Lorna… read more

Tanagra was a lovely person to have in our house. She is a hard worker , observant , and worked cheerfully, needing only a little supervision.

Emma stayed with us for just over a week and was lovely to have around. She is keen to help and keen to explore New Zealand and everything that we do or are here. She did some heavy jobs and some in the house stuff , and also did chores that she could see needed doing without being asked. We have invited her back, and would recommend her to you.
