AVAILABLE 1 NOV - 21 DEC
We are currently looking for help in our historic garden, at times that suit your own schedule. We live in a beautiful historic building at 3 km from Dunedin City centre.
The property is in a quiet location. The rooms are old and beautiful. You will get full board (all meals), and use a shared bathroom.On warm days, we have lunch in the garden.
We're happy to cook for special wishes – we have had several vegetarians and vegans, and generally succeed in making everyone happy! Also, our kitchen is very healthy, as we mostly use fresh fruits and vegetables, and we make our own bread, yoghourt and hummus.
Visitors help 21 hours per week, scheduled by yourself.
When you need to go to town, you can catch a bus, or you can ride along with us.
We love history, architecture, music, film and dance and are interested to hear stories and opinions from around the world.
Contact us now to learn more!

It was a privilege to stay in one of the oldest houses in Dunedin - it's beautiful! Tim and his family were very hospitable, and the meals were healthy and delicious. I had a flare up of sciatic nerve pain during my stay - they were understanding and let me adjust the gardening tasks accordingly. Thank you :)
