Have a single spot from May 12th available to join another woman. Work is feijoa harvesting and weeding/mulching the blueberries. Accommodation is in the “blueberry cottage,' a self-contained flat that is across the lawn from our house. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen/dining room, computer and wifi. I stock the kitchen with good ingredients and between those and the orchard goodies you assemble your own breakfast. We start at 830 and work for four hours. I make a big lunch at the house for everyone (lots of home made bread and cakes) and the afternoons/evenings are your own.

This is a stud beef cattle property situated near picturesque Winton in Central Southland. The area is renowned for its farming and Torrisdale (the farm) is surrounded by dairy and mixed farming properties. The property is within short travel distances of some of the most talked about 'tourist' locations including Queenstown which is only a 100 minute drive away. Like on all farms there are things to do. Preparing for/and maintenance of shelter tree plantings, small building and maintenance projects and some gardening are just some of the outdoors jobs that helpers could be involved with plus for those who have some experience, mingling with the cattle is occasionally on the list. Food and accommodation (own room, shared bathroom) provided. Capped Internet access available. Helpers who are proficient in cooking (for themselves mostly) and putting their hand to the occasional bit of housework would fit well in the routine that is usually in vogue here. If you don't have transport tha...

Hello Helpers! I live on a small 5 acre lifestyle block, 48 km South of Auckland CBD, that is also home to one horse (Meg), two small inside dogs (Alfie and Lacey), a cat (Sylvie) and some free-range hens who happily provide eggs for our breakfast. I can offer short stays of approximately ONE WEEK only. Mature, practical-minded people with a few years life experience, a good work ethic and a good understanding of the English language are preferred. None of the jobs are difficult but you do need to be reasonably FIT and you need to be able to work independently. Non-smokers/non-vapers only please.

Depending on the time of the year, some of the tasks you may be asked to help with are: planting trees/shrubs, weeding and mulching garden beds, grubbing thistles, paddock weeds and brush-cutting (strimming/weed-eating).

Kia ora travelers! My whare (home) is in the middle of beautiful Honeymoon Valley, surrounded by native rainforest, birds and organic gardens. We build this eco house using local clay (adobe in-situ), green roofs, and much help from volunteers. We did a lot of 'woofing' ourselves, before settling here in the rural Far North. Honeymoon Valley is quiet, perfect to enjoy nature and country living. The closest shop, the famous "Bush Fairy Dairy", is 7 km away, Taipa Beach 20 km, and Auckland 350 km. If you have no car, I can pick you up from the bus station in Taipa. I am part of the Honeymoon Valley landcare (honeymoonvalleylandcare.org.nz/).

You can help also me with organic, permaculture gardening: vegetables, flowers, herbs, fruit trees, mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting), sewing, cleaning, chopping firewood, etc. I ha...

We have a small beekeeping business. We have a large organic vegetable garden and fruit trees. Because of life circumstances, our garden needs a lot of work to get it to its former glory, but we are still managing to grow some vegetables in amongst the chaos. As the autumn advances, we begin pruning our trees and clearing away the prunings. We eat mostly our own meat and eggs. We have 20 chickens and 1 dog who loves humans. We eat healthy food, but love treats too. We make our own yoghurt, kombucha, and kimchi, and love to try new foods. Our home is an old farmhouse cottage, which is homey, with a woodburner. Accommodation is in the house in a spare room. We need help with gardening, property maintenance, beekeeping, and other jobs associated with beekeeping. Currently, the jobs are in the honey shed, helping with extracting the honey, cleaning and tidying the shed, etc. We are a short walk from the village and the Waiau River. There are some good walks nearby. We would like to host ...

Of course if you would prefer to work a full day in order to have a day off in which you could explore the nearby Marlborough Sounds, cycle the wine trails, or walk or climb on any of the formed tracks in this area, that would be just fine. My 40 ha property is a sheep farm most of which is leased. I tend a large garden and care for the drive and tracks, drainage and irrigation and deal with fallen trees. It is situated in the midst of vineyards in the Brancott Valley 13km from Blenheim (pop 27,000) which contests the annual sunshine record every year. Most of the work is outdoors, constantly var...

Update, possible accommodation available for kiwifruit staff. My caravan is available, not fancy but clean & waterproof. I'm a beekeeper in need of assistance, either with the bees directly or not. I'm located 16km South of Te Puke on a property that has a back boundary of native forest. I'm usually able to host people at any time of year, but am busiest in the spring. I currently have building projects happening, as well as lots of painting, waxing new bee frames, and also hands on beekeeping for anyone who is keen. I also keep sheep and cattle on the property here, and hunt deer and pigs in the forest. These grass and forest fed animals form a large part of the menu here, so vegetarians probably won`t be happy with the diet. I cater to lots of herbivores and they all have hooves or paws. The accommodation is a spare room in the house. The house is a late 1800s villa in need of replacement, but it keeps the weather out and I find it comfortable. Housework isn't high on my priority ...

Kia ora guys, We live in a small west coast beach village about 35-40 minutes from central Auckland called Muriwai Beach. It is one of NZ`s most stunning and wildest beaches. We have a half acre section that always needs little things doing and the house is slowly being worked on as well so experience in building or skilled labour is always cool as well as people who like to work in the gardens and landscape. We have a daughter who is 11 years old who loves playing in the outdoors, tending her veggie garden and meeting people from all over the world. If you like the beach and the wild west coast then I`m sure you will love it out here. I work in the television and film industry while my partner is a a musician. Drop us a line and tell us a bit about yourself and maybe you can come out and share some of the magic that we feel living here. Cheers. Toby, Moana and Manawanui.

We are located in the Upper Clutha basin surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers. We are far enough urban areas to have clear night skies and be really connected to nature.

Welcome to paradise! This is a gorgeous 1960’s cottage that looks over native bush and the ocean with a 180 degree view. It’s a three minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk via coastal tracks to Oneroa centre, where you can do food shopping and find cafes. 3 min walk to bus stop. It’s very peaceful yet central, and north facing so sunny. I need help cleaning the house and also occasionally outdoor work but can only accommodate people for a few days at a time. No long stays at all because my son stays with me 50% of the time and you would have his room when he is not here. This is a non-smoking house. Open to females only. No single males thank you. Upcoming available dates: 4th/5th May; 8th/9th/10th May; 15th/16th May. Please only message about these dates at the moment thanks.

Hi, it's Barbara here. Thank you for reading my blurb. I would happily look at helpers this winter 25...So if that interests you I would love to hear from you. I have a 20-year vision to turn my 1.2ha lifestyle block into a sanctuary for me, the birds, the bees and anything else living. All this including developing a vegetable garden based on permaculture principals. Currently at year three and I am trying to be organic (apart from the dreaded blackberry). I live by the motto - Don't be afraid of going slowly; be afraid of not moving. So, I have grand visions moving forward, and this is where I could do with a bit of help. My section is a work in progress, and I would love assistance with some of those transformation processes, as well as day to day garden and house maintenance depending on the season. Some of the work may include: Tree planting and releasing Creating gardens and beds Mowing and edging lawns Weeding Making compost bins Feeding the worms Outside house maintenance: ...
