Join us on our small farm in Manakau, Horowhenua, New Zealand

  Descrição

  I am an animal loving lifestyle blocker/homesteader living on a cute 2-acre property in beautiful Manakau in the Horowhenua (not Auckland). I live with my 16-year-old son and a menagerie of pets and farm animals - including miniature donkeys, sheep, chooks, dogs and cats.
  We have lush bushwalks in the Tararua Ranges on our back doorstep, and beautiful beaches and surf just a few minutes' drive away. There's a swimming hole in the Waikawa river just 1km up the road, and a spa pool at the house if you prefer your swims warmer. Just 10 minutes from Ōtaki or Levin, so all the conveniences of town are a short drive away.
  I am looking for help in the spring (from August on) with gardening and taking care of animals. I’ll be putting in new vegetable gardens and tidying up the property after winter.
  If you like to cook we love trying new foods from around the world too.
  You must be an animal lover to enjoy this work away experience, they are a big part of life on our little farm.
  Would prefer someone who’d like a longer stay (a month or longer) to really become part of the family.

  Ajuda

  We are looking for both help around the property and house/pet sitting. Help around the property is general gardening and property maintenance work - help putting in new vegetable gardens, mowing lawns, weeding, garden maintenance and planting, water blasting, odd jobs. Some help with animals might be required, mostly fun things like brushing the mini donkeys or helping to round up the sheep. This is a small property, so there would only be 4-5 hours work a day maximum, usually less.
  For house/pet sitting, you will be required to feed and look after all the animals while we are away. This includes walking the dogs (3) daily.
  Kāhu (16 years old) loves to surf, so if you’re a surfer he can take you out with him. I can provide transport to the beach.

  Acomodação

  Accommodation is a bright sunny double bedroom with queen bed and large wardrobes available. This room has its own doors to the spa pool and the back lawn.
  As I am only requiring a few hours work a day (up to 5 days) I won't be providing meals every day. You will have full access to the kitchen and BBQ to make all your own meals, and I will make dinner for us about twice a week. When meals are meat based it is our own home grown Belted Galloway beef. If you like to cook, we would love to try meals from your home country or from places you’ve been.
  No fee will be charged.
