We are a group of friends who decided three years ago to restore a beautiful old village/motel in Jindabyne. We are looking for like minded individuals who are passionate about restoration/building and maintenance, love nature and have a good nature and willing to share a laugh over some good food. We have hosted people from all around the world, including all over Europe, Asia, North and South America. The motel is a 5-minute drive from local amenities such as supermarkets, shops, pubs, and a skate park. From June to September there are plenty of winter activities including skiing, tobogganing, and snowboarding at nearby ski resorts, just 30 minutes away. In summer, there are plenty of hikes, mountain biking, fishing, as well as the beach at Jindabyne Lake, Blue Lake and we are 30 minutes from the tallest mountain in Australia- Mount Koscioscko. Yarrangobilly Caves and nearby thermal pools are about one hour away. Our beautiful site features a serene river, where you can go...

Hi beautiful people! I’m Christine, a happy spirited former language and arts teacher working across two continents. Since I retired I work in the natural health field. I live on an urban block called The Roo‘s Pouch, where I maintain a sustainable vegetable garden and created a community of nice people living with me. I live in one of the buildings on this sunny property which runs on rainwater harvesting. We avoid chlorine and contaminates by filtering, harmonizing, and energizing our own water though Ionisation. Water conservation is part of life for me. You can come to Maryborough via plane, bus or train. The Hervey Bay Airport is only 30min from my home. There are meanwhile several bus companies to choose from. If you use the train please book Maryborough town from the drop down menu. The shuttle bus from the train station in Maryborough west (20 min out of town) is free of charge if it is pre-booked. As international travelers you qualify for a concession card on Queensland tr...

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. PLEASE NOTE WELL: we absolutely cannot host anyone with any pre-existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions), such as hay fever, any other allergies, sensitivities or intolerances. We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our do...

Bonjour à tous ! Nous avons été éleveurs de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraités, des poulains, des adultes qui sont montés ainsi que des pensionnaires. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle réformée des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en liberté. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux là sont très invasifs pour avoir des câlins... Notre discipline sportive était l'endurance, et nous avons fait des compétitions plus ou moins longues, de 20 à 120 km. Évidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la même passion que nous. Et sinon, je parle anglais mais vraiment pas super bien, et Marcel pas du tout. Alors pour vivre de bons moments conviviaux et un beau séjour, il faut parler correctement le français pour saisir la subtilité des conversations et des blagues. Et aussi Marcel aime beaucoup b...

Hello, It's me (Michael) and sometimes my partner Anneke and my two girls - 4 and 7. AND ONE CHEEKY BEAGLE! My girls are quirky, messy and fun. I am a Kindergarten teacher for the last six years and now teach a bit of everything in a local private school. We live in a modest house with a backyard, close to the beach. You will have a basic room with a private bathroom to stay in. Bargara is a sleepy beach town, a bit too quiet for some - but we love it! The turtle watching and whale watching are popular touristy things around our area. Overseas travel isn't possible for us right now. I love helpx for the cultural exchange, especially for my girls. I need some help! Maybe painting our house? 60 minutes/day? We need some help with Gardening, mainly. If you are happy to weed and tend to the veggie garden during your stay that would be perfect - if you can clean (always plenty of that to do) and cook or contribute in another way we can try it out and just see how it goes. We don't lis...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are particularly welcome. Most helpers arrive for two weeks and actually love it so much that they want to stay longer. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and the freedom to explore locally. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountains. You must enjoy w...

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town.

We are a fun-loving family who would love some help with jobs around our house and garden, as well as some childcare depending on the helper and your experience. We are Justin and Amanda, a couple in our early 40s, and Francis (aged 5) and Teddy (aged 2). Both Justin and Amanda have been helpers through HelpX, many years ago - that is how we ended up moving to Taranaki! So we know what it is like to be a helper, and would love to host you. We have a small but productive garden, and a lovely old bungalow home. There are plenty of small jobs to do depending on what your skills and preferences are - garden work, furniture restoration, painting, childcare, cleaning, cooking, and organising. Justin is from the USA, but has been living in NZ for 12 years. He has also lived and worked in China and Germany, and has professional experience in education, mental health, and community development. He is currently working full time. Amanda is originally from Auckland, NZ, and has been livin...

Space available for oneof a couple (one room) We have a large 3000m2 garden. Really keen for someone able to do some physical garden work and create order in my house. It's an ongoing challenge! I have a newish house on a big section approx 4km from the center of Wanaka. It is best if you have your own transport. We are always adding and managing the gardens. I usually live in the house with my daughter and sometimes my other children - 20 years plus and one cat and a dog. I also have a horse that lives elsewhere - semi-retired now, but we can go and visit her if you are keen. Just ask. I would love help in the garden there is lots to do, but also would like help with cleaning and organising in the house and cooking and odd jobs.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO HOST HELPXers BEFORE NOVEMBER 30. This is ideal for people who would enjoy the social and cultural buzz of the city within easy walking distance, while also being close to two charming harbour beaches and some great walks. It’s a good arrangement if you value your own private space whenever you want it, but also enjoy a stimulating environment. Our comfortable inner city 117year old Victorian villa is a two minute walk to Ponsonby Road. Accommodation is self-contained, and our HelpXers have invariably found it to be an ideal set-up (see guest room photos). You have your own separate entrance, private garden balcony, one bed ( a generous double) , kitchenette with microwave, hot plate, toaster and small fridge, dining table/desk, laundry machine and spacious en suite bathroom/toilet. Free wi-fi (within reason!) Because we’re on an unusually wide section for a city house, we've developed the outdoor space into various "rooms", including an organic ...

Our busy family lives in Waipara, North Canterbury. 1 hour drive from Christchurch, 1 ½ hour from Kaikoura and 45 mins from Hanmer. Having a car would be helpful. We’d love some help both inside our home and outside in our large organic vegetable garden and around our yard. Work would include gardening - lawn mowing, shifting compost, weeding and general outdoor work. General housework and cooking - if you love to cook. Things to do in the area: Wine tasting, cycle tracks, vintage steam train, river and beach walks. Waipara river is well known for its fossils and Leigh is a keen amateur Paleontologist. There is a large man-made swimming hole in the riverbed (although it's not always full). **NO SMOKERS PLEASE**.

We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most. We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

Kia Ora travellers! I live with my dog, Nala, in a beautiful big and warm house on a 27 acre life style block with native bush and a little creek. I have an organic vegetable garden and orchard growing fresh vegetables, hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts. You can also enjoy great views of the Banks Peninsula from here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s only 1 hour away from Christchurch city and 30 mins from Akaroa, a lovely seaside town with a rich French heritage. I used to be a Tour Guide for overseas tourists, so I know every nook and cranny of the Great Aotearoa. I would be happy to share with you our culture, history and many stories. I also used to host overseas backpackers when living in Christchurch and I always enjoy having company and learning about cultural differences. There is plenty to do to keep busy and be creative - planting trees, pruning, cleaning up bonfires, getting stuck into the big garden. Work hours are flexible and will be max 4 hours (mos...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

We live on a property of 23 acres/9 hectares. It is primarily native bushland with some fruit and nut trees. There is plenty of space to walk in nature, feel the tranquility, hear the bird songs, and maybe glimpse a Kangaroo,Koala or Possum. As it has 2 buildings. One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI. At the moment we have chickens, 2 little dogs, and a cat. We are developing veggie gardens and need help with the garden, ride on mowing, painting cooking, cleaning etc. Our diet is: we eat everything but mostly have vegetarian meals. We are not living on a bus route. So we can pick you up from Mount barker. Our farm is 7 km out of Mount Barker. All our children have moved out of the home so just my partner, Urs and I live here. He speaks German and Swiss but I speak only English. TV watching is not our thing but we love watching a film on ...

Glorious views from the Thames Coast on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula! Enjoy home brew, home made breads and fresh fish.. Plenty of local adventures: bush crash up the stream, swim at the beach across the road, come fishing with me on the kayaks. Take the bikes, pedal 2km to Waiomu; then tramp/jog to some beautiful Kauri (1/2 to 3/4hr). Do an overnighter to The Pinnacles Hut up the Kauranga Valley if yr into vast iconic views and like tramping. If you have wheels you can do great day trips around the Peninsula. And if yr more chill, Thames has some great op-shops or hangout here and make art. Debs & I are happy, retired on the endless holiday, loving every second left ! However, we seriously need help with the massive task of 296: gardens to create & jungle to clear ! We'd love to host you if you like a bit of fun and you know what mutual respect means. When Debs & I started hosting in 2025 we moved to the sleepout making it possible to host helpers from different cultures ...

I have a large comfortable, warm home on a lifestyle block, 10 minutes to Tokoroa and Putaruru. There is a furnished double room for you with a shared modern bathroom in a private guest wing of the house. The house overlooks a lovely garden and orchard. I live on my own with Lucy the cat. I am super busy at work until Christmas so need some help at home. The work involves cooking meals for all of us each night, keeping the garden tidy and doing some maintenance like painting. My house is close to the Blue Springs and Te Waihou Walkway (about 15 minutes) and about 40 minutes to Hobbiton so close to the main visitor attractions in the area. I have a cheese factory in Putaruru so can teach you some cheesemaking if you like cheese!

We have hosted many people - from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, China, America, Germany, Uruguay, Austria, Czech Republic and France. We also used to host paying travellers via www.airbnb.com. We love meeting new people and learning about their culture. It keeps life fun and interesting. We are a Family of 4. Mum, Dad, 2 boys age 24 and 19. It's just Susan and John here now, but nearby is our son's and daughter-n-law, in their 20's who come over sometimes too for a meal and a spa :) Our small farm has Cattle, Goats, and Cats. The beautiful Muriwai Beach, Gannet Colony and Woodhill Forest are nearby. Lots of nearby Native Bush Walks. Don't hesitate to ask any questions! ***REMEMBER that New Zealand law requires you to have a work permit/visa for this type of work***

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 66 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

We are a group of friends who decided three years ago to restore a beautiful old village/motel in Jindabyne. We are looking for like minded individuals who are passionate about restoration/building and maintenance, love nature and have a good nature and willing to share a laugh over some good food. We have hosted people from all around the world, including all over Europe, Asia, North and South America. The motel is a 5-minute drive from local amenities such as supermarkets, shops, pubs, and a skate park. From June to September there are plenty of winter activities including skiing, tobogganing, and snowboarding at nearby ski resorts, just 30 minutes away. In summer, there are plenty of hikes, mountain biking, fishing, as well as the beach at Jindabyne Lake, Blue Lake and we are 30 minutes from the tallest mountain in Australia- Mount Koscioscko. Yarrangobilly Caves and nearby thermal pools are about one hour away. Our beautiful site features a serene river, where you can go...

Hi beautiful people! I’m Christine, a happy spirited former language and arts teacher working across two continents. Since I retired I work in the natural health field. I live on an urban block called The Roo‘s Pouch, where I maintain a sustainable vegetable garden and created a community of nice people living with me. I live in one of the buildings on this sunny property which runs on rainwater harvesting. We avoid chlorine and contaminates by filtering, harmonizing, and energizing our own water though Ionisation. Water conservation is part of life for me. You can come to Maryborough via plane, bus or train. The Hervey Bay Airport is only 30min from my home. There are meanwhile several bus companies to choose from. If you use the train please book Maryborough town from the drop down menu. The shuttle bus from the train station in Maryborough west (20 min out of town) is free of charge if it is pre-booked. As international travelers you qualify for a concession card on Queensland tr...

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. PLEASE NOTE WELL: we absolutely cannot host anyone with any pre-existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions), such as hay fever, any other allergies, sensitivities or intolerances. We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our do...

Bonjour à tous ! Nous avons été éleveurs de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraités, des poulains, des adultes qui sont montés ainsi que des pensionnaires. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle réformée des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en liberté. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux là sont très invasifs pour avoir des câlins... Notre discipline sportive était l'endurance, et nous avons fait des compétitions plus ou moins longues, de 20 à 120 km. Évidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la même passion que nous. Et sinon, je parle anglais mais vraiment pas super bien, et Marcel pas du tout. Alors pour vivre de bons moments conviviaux et un beau séjour, il faut parler correctement le français pour saisir la subtilité des conversations et des blagues. Et aussi Marcel aime beaucoup b...

Hello, It's me (Michael) and sometimes my partner Anneke and my two girls - 4 and 7. AND ONE CHEEKY BEAGLE! My girls are quirky, messy and fun. I am a Kindergarten teacher for the last six years and now teach a bit of everything in a local private school. We live in a modest house with a backyard, close to the beach. You will have a basic room with a private bathroom to stay in. Bargara is a sleepy beach town, a bit too quiet for some - but we love it! The turtle watching and whale watching are popular touristy things around our area. Overseas travel isn't possible for us right now. I love helpx for the cultural exchange, especially for my girls. I need some help! Maybe painting our house? 60 minutes/day? We need some help with Gardening, mainly. If you are happy to weed and tend to the veggie garden during your stay that would be perfect - if you can clean (always plenty of that to do) and cook or contribute in another way we can try it out and just see how it goes. We don't lis...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are particularly welcome. Most helpers arrive for two weeks and actually love it so much that they want to stay longer. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and the freedom to explore locally. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountains. You must enjoy w...

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

We are a fun-loving family who would love some help with jobs around our house and garden, as well as some childcare depending on the helper and your experience. We are Justin and Amanda, a couple in our early 40s, and Francis (aged 5) and Teddy (aged 2). Both Justin and Amanda have been helpers through HelpX, many years ago - that is how we ended up moving to Taranaki! So we know what it is like to be a helper, and would love to host you. We have a small but productive garden, and a lovely old bungalow home. There are plenty of small jobs to do depending on what your skills and preferences are - garden work, furniture restoration, painting, childcare, cleaning, cooking, and organising. Justin is from the USA, but has been living in NZ for 12 years. He has also lived and worked in China and Germany, and has professional experience in education, mental health, and community development. He is currently working full time. Amanda is originally from Auckland, NZ, and has been livin...

Currently I need help with some gardening and mainly house cleaning and organising so ideally someone who likes cleaning and organising. . Space available for oneof a couple (one room) We have a large 3000m2 garden. Really keen for someone able to do some physical garden work and create order in my house. It's an ongoing challenge! I have a newish house on a big section approx 4km from the center of Wanaka. It is best if you have your own transport. We are always adding and managing the gardens. I usually live in the house with my daughter and sometimes my other children - 20 years plus and one cat and a dog. I also have a horse that lives elsewhere - semi-retired now, but we can go and visit her if you are keen. Just ask. I would love help in the garden there is lots to do, but also would like help with cleaning and organising in the house and cooking and odd jobs.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO HOST HELPXers BEFORE NOVEMBER 30. This is ideal for people who would enjoy the social and cultural buzz of the city within easy walking distance, while also being close to two charming harbour beaches and some great walks. It’s a good arrangement if you value your own private space whenever you want it, but also enjoy a stimulating environment. Our comfortable inner city 117year old Victorian villa is a two minute walk to Ponsonby Road. Accommodation is self-contained, and our HelpXers have invariably found it to be an ideal set-up (see guest room photos). You have your own separate entrance, private garden balcony, one bed ( a generous double) , kitchenette with microwave, hot plate, toaster and small fridge, dining table/desk, laundry machine and spacious en suite bathroom/toilet. Free wi-fi (within reason!) Because we’re on an unusually wide section for a city house, we've developed the outdoor space into various "rooms", including an organic ...

Our busy family lives in Waipara, North Canterbury. 1 hour drive from Christchurch, 1 ½ hour from Kaikoura and 45 mins from Hanmer. Having a car would be helpful. We’d love some help both inside our home and outside in our large organic vegetable garden and around our yard. Work would include gardening - lawn mowing, shifting compost, weeding and general outdoor work. General housework and cooking - if you love to cook. Things to do in the area: Wine tasting, cycle tracks, vintage steam train, river and beach walks. Waipara river is well known for its fossils and Leigh is a keen amateur Paleontologist. There is a large man-made swimming hole in the riverbed (although it's not always full). **NO SMOKERS PLEASE**.

We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most. We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

Kia Ora travellers! I live with my dog, Nala, in a beautiful big and warm house on a 27 acre life style block with native bush and a little creek. I have an organic vegetable garden and orchard growing fresh vegetables, hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts. You can also enjoy great views of the Banks Peninsula from here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s only 1 hour away from Christchurch city and 30 mins from Akaroa, a lovely seaside town with a rich French heritage. I used to be a Tour Guide for overseas tourists, so I know every nook and cranny of the Great Aotearoa. I would be happy to share with you our culture, history and many stories. I also used to host overseas backpackers when living in Christchurch and I always enjoy having company and learning about cultural differences. There is plenty to do to keep busy and be creative - planting trees, pruning, cleaning up bonfires, getting stuck into the big garden. Work hours are flexible and will be max 4 hours (mos...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

We live on a property of 23 acres/9 hectares. It is primarily native bushland with some fruit and nut trees. There is plenty of space to walk in nature, feel the tranquility, hear the bird songs, and maybe glimpse a Kangaroo,Koala or Possum. As it has 2 buildings. One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI. At the moment we have chickens, 2 little dogs, and a cat. We are developing veggie gardens and need help with the garden, ride on mowing, painting cooking, cleaning etc. Our diet is: we eat everything but mostly have vegetarian meals. We are not living on a bus route. So we can pick you up from Mount barker. Our farm is 7 km out of Mount Barker. All our children have moved out of the home so just my partner, Urs and I live here. He speaks German and Swiss but I speak only English. TV watching is not our thing but we love watching a film on ...

We are looking for interested and willing helpers to join us on farm for the busy summer season. We are a enthusiastic farming couple who have been farming here for 12 years. We are both passionate about farming good food and leaving the environment in a better state for future generations. We recently welcomed our first daughter into the world so know this summer life is going to be a lot busier here on the farm. So look forward to welcoming you into our world. Farming regeneratively over both flat and steep hill country. Running 4200 stock units, made up of 125 Hereford and Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle, up to 100 hand reared Friesian Hereford cross bobbie steers, 1200 quarter breeding ewes plus replacement as well as running a 300ewe sheep dairy operation on our flat land. We are looking for people who are interested in a different experience on a hill country station. We are looking for roughly 4 hours of work a day maybe more when required in exchange for good company and a will...

Glorious views from the Thames Coast on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula! Enjoy home brew, home made breads and fresh fish.. Plenty of local adventures: bush crash up the stream, swim at the beach across the road, come fishing with me on the kayaks. Take the bikes, pedal 2km to Waiomu; then tramp/jog to some beautiful Kauri (1/2 to 3/4hr). Do an overnighter to The Pinnacles Hut up the Kauranga Valley if yr into vast iconic views and like tramping. If you have wheels you can do great day trips around the Peninsula. And if yr more chill, Thames has some great op-shops or hangout here and make art. Debs & I are happy, retired on the endless holiday, loving every second left ! However, we seriously need help with the massive task of 296: gardens to create & jungle to clear ! We'd love to host you if you like a bit of fun and you know what mutual respect means. When Debs & I started hosting in 2025 we moved to the sleepout making it possible to host helpers from different cultures ...

I have a large comfortable, warm home on a lifestyle block, 10 minutes to Tokoroa and Putaruru. There is a furnished double room for you with a shared modern bathroom in a private guest wing of the house. The house overlooks a lovely garden and orchard. I live on my own with Lucy the cat. I am super busy at work until Christmas so need some help at home. The work involves cooking meals for all of us each night, keeping the garden tidy and doing some maintenance like painting. My house is close to the Blue Springs and Te Waihou Walkway (about 15 minutes) and about 40 minutes to Hobbiton so close to the main visitor attractions in the area. I have a cheese factory in Putaruru so can teach you some cheesemaking if you like cheese!

It's been a good while since we hosted a HelpX, and now we need some help again. Gardening mostly. 2 hours work per day. We have hosted many people - from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, China, America, Germany, Uruguay, Austria, Czech Republic and France. We also used to host paying travellers via www.airbnb.com. We love meeting new people and learning about their culture. It keeps life fun and interesting. We are a Family of 4. Mum, Dad, 2 boys age 24 and 19. It's just Susan and John here now, but nearby is our son's and daughter-n-law, in their 20's who come over sometimes too for a meal and a spa :) Our small farm has Cattle, Goats, and Cats. The beautiful Muriwai Beach, Gannet Colony and Woodhill Forest are nearby. Lots of nearby Native Bush Walks. Don't hesitate to ask any questions! ***REMEMBER that New Zealand law requires you to have a work permit/visa for this type of work***

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 66 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

We often have gardening work but we appreciate other skills you bring, there's always a project on the go!

It’s easier with your own car but the bus is 10 min walk. ...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

Gardening, forestry We live in a small cottage on a friendly lake about 3 hours north of Toronto. We have the usual cottage toys available, canoe, small sailboat, row boat. Looking for help with selective cutting trees for firewood and lumber which we cut on our own small mill. Hopefully someone that is a better gardener than we are as we would like to start growing our own produce and maybe even get some chickens. Help with some construction and painting projects. We have some old machinery we are always trying to keep running. We are offering free accommodation and meals in exchange for help. This is a no smoking environment.
