We work outside of the farm so there is always work to be done, the vegetable and flower gardens are quite large and forever need weeding. There are just the two of us and we are non smokers, meat eaters and love a beer and a laugh, willing to eat vegetarian if you cook it. In exchange for 4 hours work AND HELP with either preparing meals or washing up at meal times. You will be in our home, your room has a King size bed, you have free Internet access, and all meals.

Hi!
We live 40 minutes out of Nelson on our land in Upper Moutere, while we begin to plan our garden and build our home.
We would love some enthusiastic helpers to come and stay; and in exchange help on our land here in the country-mainly gardening, and helping on the building site and a range of other projects that mainly happen outside!!
It would probably suit someone- or a couple- who did have their own transport as we are a 20 minute drive from the nearest town Motueka.If you are interested in staying a few days, we are an easy stop off point for anyone travelling to Golden Bay, or the West Coast and we are also close to many vineyards and the Abel Tasman National Park is only a 35 minute drive away; so if this sounds like you drop us an email, happy travels! THANK YOU!

Hope to hear from you soon,

Chris,Brigid,our chatty Verity and our wee Tilly.

* In Sept an Oct Craig is looking for someone to help him break in one of his horses using natural and gentle methods and would prefer someone who is familiar with these techniques or someone who has enough horse experience to assist.*Also we just need help with odd jobs and gardening or what ever skills we can use of yours

Upper Moutere is a small village with a Pub, local Store,School and Garage, about 30 minutes drive from Nelson and 15 mins to either Richmond or Motueka so it would be best if you have your own transport. Mt Arthur is nearby and is great for tramping. Beaches are a 10 minute drive, a bit further to the legendary Able Tasman.
Accomodation is a old but cosy caravan at the bottom of our garden so you would have your privacy - bathroom and laundry facilities are in the house. We both work, Craig with horses, doing natural hoof care and breaking horses using gentle horsemanship techniques. Tanya at the local Store. Ella our daughter goes to the local school... more inside
