Hello all friendly travellers,
We are looking for some help for the middle two weeks of March.
Our family lives on a sheep and beef farm high in the hills in Central Otago, we live on a large farm, with lots of sheep and cows, horses and ponies, hens, kittens, dogs, and one duck.
We love having people come to stay from other countries and I like that through your interaction with our children they learn a little of the bigger world out there and learn about you and your experiences and languages and culture.
You will mainly helping with the children, general housework and meals, and some gardening. This can be hard physical work, so you need to be fit and healthy and willing to get a bit of dirt on your hands. Old warm old clothes you don't mind getting dirty and boots are always a good idea too.
We have horses here that need to be ridden regularly to get fit, so if you like riding - you would be most welcome!
I am looking for 1-2 people to come at a time. I am looking for keen, fit, non smoking, willing and motivated people to come and stay. English is neccessary, but another language a bonus, also an international drivers licence. Your contribution is usually 3 - 4 hours in the morning (8am - 12pm) and an hour or so later in the day to help with dinner and dishes etc in exchange for accommodation and food, but this can change depending on what the family/farm is doing for the day - maybe one full day working, then the next day off for you to explore the surrounding area if that is what you want to do. We are pretty flexible, and I am happy if you want to head away for a few days for a tramp and explore and then return to us. We want you to enjoy your time here.
We have a wee cottage/sleepout for you to sleep in, and you will share our home/kitchen for meals.
I look forward to meeting you, thanks for getting in touch
Thanks,
Kaye
