Descrição
Welcome to our place in the Canterbury foothills!
We’re a family living on a lifestyle block about 60 km from Christchurch, close to the main highway that links the city to the West Coast. Our home is surrounded by beautiful lakes, rivers, and walking tracks, and we’re only about 30 minutes from the nearest ski field—perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
We have three older children: our eldest has already left home, and the younger two are usually here only on weekends. When our youngest is at school, either Rob or Susan will be staying in Christchurch with the kids which means it will be just you and whichever parent is left staying on the property.
Half of our property is planted in mature native trees, and we also have sheep, some chickens and two dogs. We once had a thriving vegetable garden, though at the moment it’s looking a bit neglected and needs some attention.
As a family, we really enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Hosting through Workaway has been an amazing experience for us—we’ve met wonderful people from all over the world and made lasting friendships. It’s also a great way for our children to see how diverse the world is and how differently people live.
We’re excited to continue welcoming travellers, sharing our little corner of New Zealand, and learning from the people who come to stay with us.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Rob and Susan

We’re looking for people who are happy to get involved in a variety of tasks around our lifestyle block. The main areas we need help with are:

- General maintenance and small building projects – depending on your skills and confidence.
- Gardening - mainly helping to make our vege garden productive again.
- Everyday household help – assisting with preparing meals and cleaning up afterwards. We work as a team here, and we expect visitors to become part of our family and join in with daily life.
We value people who are willing to pitch in, try new things, and enjoy being part of a relaxed, friendly home.
Most of the work is more physical in nature and will require and good level of fitness.

Aidas was very keen to try different things from culture to jobs to food. Was a pleasure to have around and always looking for something to do, day or night. Interacted very well with our day to day life activities and was great with the children. Have fun in your travels and good luck with your job searching.
