Those or shorter than 7 day stays are required to work 5 hours per day eg a three day stay equals 15 hour due to a couple of negative ,false and derogatory feedbacks after hosting hundeds of volunteers from 19 countries on various platforms i need to clarify a few key things about staying on my farm.the review from anais and benoit is so longwinded and false ,about as much verbal diahorrea from benoit in 2 days as his wife on a type writer. there are very few rules in my house ,i am not a control freak. 1.food is not rationed,i feed guests well,grow ,hunt ,fish and dive for my food mostly. 2.my house is an english speaking house ,if you think it is not rude to speak in your native languag...

We are an organically based beekeeping and honey processing company adhering to Rudolf Steiner principles of natural living. Processing our own product allows us to supply an unheated product, ensuring an undamaged enzyme count with botanicals and a complex flavour to the pallet. The volunteer work will involve a variety of cleaning up hive gear, helping to jar and process honey, labelling, making beeswax candles, propolis creams, preparing the bee gear, building and (in the right season) visiting the hives. Our work exchange is 24 hours a week for full board and 3 healthy meals a day. We have a vegetable garden that you can harvest from for meals. Very relaxed and easy going environment/people, great food and good company. Only a short bus or car ride into town, not too far to bike but probably a little too far to walk.

Hi, This is a small farm property (sheep, ducks, a cat and orchard) just of state highway 2 within walking distance of Morere hot springs reserve and about 20 minutes drive to the beaches of the mahia peninsula. The bus between wellington and Gisborne stops here twice a day walking distance from Possum bend. Helpers work about 4 hours a day.At the moment, I have some gardening and housework to do. Also, if you like cooking, i enjoy trying new recipes/meals etc (This is not a commercial property so, generally, surfing takes priority over working if the surf is good). I prefer easy going people with a good sense of humour who are adventurous. I especially enjoy meeting people who have traveled or come from places I have not visited and hearing about their experiences. Morere is a quiet spot so may not be suitable for a young person who likes a lot of company their own age. I also have neighbours, a really nice couple in their thirties, with a property very similar to mine who can u...

Hi, my name is Marianne. I live on a classic New Zealand "tree quarter acre section" on a north facing (all day sun) hobbit hill, looking down to Oamaru and from my kitchen window or climbing up the jungle hill behind the cottage, you can see the sea and watch the sunrise. A 10 minute stroll down Eden Street gets you either to the CBD or to the shoreline. After five years of absence house and gardens have been badly damaged physically and spiritually. In the effort to restore the above, I re-discovered HelpX for finding spirited support for all sorts of quirky manifestations of visible and touchable things. In my role as your host, I am fully committed to provide three basic meals per day, to be fully there when our agreed upon four hours of work start and to offer you some nice and clean room to stay. With my double bed guest room created to a comfortable Kiwi standard and a renovated lounge fit for more than two friends, a family or a yoga space, I am happy to open my home again for...

I look forward to welcoming fellow travellers. Last year I was a HelpXer myself in Europe. Now I am back at my home by the sea and looking for support with my home and garden and have already this year enjoyed hosting a range of HelpXers and Workawayers. Helpers enjoy the location and the sea views, as well as the 2 minute walk down through the garden to a sandy beach for a swim. A short beach walk (or 2 min drive) takes you to Paihia wharf, shops, cafes and the Russell ferry, while a 1 hr coastal walk leads to the port of Opua. Intercity buses arrive in Paihia - just a few minutes away - pick up no problem. Come for 4-5 days or longer. I offer your own comfortable room, unlimited WiFi, and breakfast, lunch and dinner in return for 4 hours work a day (or do longer days with more hours then take full days off for sightseeing). After six days, your seventh day is free for you to enjoy. I'm a passionate advocate for a nonviolent lifestyle. I attempt (not always successfully) t...

** Both Annelise and Tom will be overseas until the start of 2025, so we won't be able to host anyone until then we're sorry ** We are two friends who co-bought a 30-acre section of native forest at the top of the Omoto valley, with the intention of creating a space where ourselves, friends, and family can use and feel at home. From the road end, it’s a 5-minute walk to reach our section along a small graveled path, built by hand. We have two small cabins sited up on a river terrace, under a canopy of rata and rimu trees, with a view out across the valley and the forest around. We have built /renovated both cabins ourselves to suit the surroundings, using mostly recycled materials, with plenty of exposed timber and cutting no corners on finishing touches. There is no road noise or sign of any neighbours and there's no utility services connected, so it feels remote and is pretty simple living. Since coming into ownership of the land, there has been an ongoing stream of projects to c...
