Need a long term helper starting late June, early July! It’s just my husband and I in this large two-story home, and our pets are very much part of our lives. We have four Chihuahuas and two rescue cats who live indoors. • Pet-Friendly is a Must: You must be comfortable with small dogs and cats, as they are part of the household. • Occasional Pet Sitting: We occasionally need to travel to Wellington for business and may stay overnight. During these times, we would ask our helper to take charge of feeding the dogs and cats and keeping them company. It's a great chance to enjoy the peace of the property on your own! Location & Nearby Attractions While we are a truly rural property with 120 acres of space to explore, we are perfectly positioned for local adventures. • The Homewood Store (Summer Seasonal): Just 10mins away, this is a must-visit during the summer months. It’s a lovely, inviting restaurant that serves as a hub for the community. It features a fantastic local chef who pre...

Looking for Helpers right through busy summer and autumn months. Plenty going on during summer, shearing, stock work, fencing, weed control, garden tidying, lawn mowing, lots of tractor driving etc. It would be great to have some strong keen helpers to help fix fences and do some building work. Our family of 4 (2 kids - 16 & 18 years old) live on a beautiful sheep and beef farm with large woodland garden and organic vegetable garden. We need help with stock work, general farming tasks, gardening, cooking etc. We're 40 minutes from Nelson, 15 minutes from Motueka. It's an idyllic rural setting with excellent access to rivers, mountains, mountain biking, Abel Tasman & Kahurangi National Parks etc. with easy access to some of the best fly fishing rivers in NZ (and the world!) There's 4-6 hours work per day depending on tasks. Plenty of flexibility to work full days and have plenty of time off to explore. Please be aware you may get hot, wet, muddy, dusty and dirty but rest assured ...

Tena koe, nau mai, haramai ki Tokomaru Bay, a small, predominately Maori seaside community on the East Coast. We live on a four acre lifestyle block in the peaceful Kaiawha Valley about a two minute drive from the village and the beach. There is a 4 Square Supermarket, a cafe and a tavern in the village. We have a room with a queen bed in a sleep out, with helpers own separate lounge/kitchenette. Access to washing machine. The bathroom is inside the main house located a few metres away. Most of the work we require is gardening, landscaping, milking cow, feeding animals, preserving food, servicing our Bed and Breakfast (List 1 Historic Places building) firewood, weed eating, mowing and general maintenance. Jan is a teacher and does some casual relieving and Bill works from home developing Te Reo Maori learning resources for our local tribe and teaches Te Reo Maori one day a week. Both of us are involved in our community, at the marae and other activities. We think 'whanau' s...

Hey hey HelpX'ers! 😊 I'm a 31-year-old Kiwi who has spent over five years travelling the world, visiting more than 60 countries and doing HelpX and working holidays in several of them. Those experiences were some of the highlights of my travels, so now it's my turn to return the favour and host! Our farm is a little slice of paradise. We're just 5 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from town, but tucked away enough to enjoy peace, quiet, beautiful sunsets, and some of the best starry skies you'll ever see. I'm hoping to welcome people who value kindness, respect, good conversation, and enjoying the simple things in life. My goal is to create an easy-going environment where work gets done, but having a great experience together is just as important. The work is a relaxed mix of farm, lifestyle, and general property jobs. We have cattle, chickens, our friendly cat Molly, gardens, an orchard, and there's always something different happening, so no two days are ever the same. I kno...

Peaceful Home Sanctuary in Onehunga – Garden, DIY & Good Conversation Currently welcoming short stays (4-7 days) for gardening, indoor and outdoor help. This suits travellers already in Auckland. Hello and welcome! I’m Sue, and I live in a sun-filled, quiet home in Onehunga, Auckland. I’m currently in the process of getting my property ready for sale, so I’m looking for a thoughtful helper to join me in some practical projects.

Kia ora, we extend a warm invitation to host a physically strong, fit and capable couple for approximatelly a week in August/September. Our home is nestled in semi-rural Paremoremo, a mere 10-minute drive from central Albany on Auckland’s North Shore. This area is full of serene natural beauty, enveloped by lush vegetation, and great views of the upper harbour. We are lucky to have an abundance of native birdlife which we marvel at every day. Paremoremo is only about 20 minutes drive away from beautiful white-sand East Coast beaches, which are good for swimming and also sometimes have great surf. Additionally are within an hour's reach of the rugged Waitakere bush ranges and the distinctive black-sand beaches of the West Coast, which offer regular awesome opportunities for surfing and day treks. We are both around 60 so we are slowing down and need help but still very young at heart! Russell has a full-time role as a Project Manager and is keen to help you get started on property-re...

I’m a single mum with shared custody of a wonderful 13 year old daughter, plus a little dog, looking for someone to join us from now and ideally stay for 6 weeks (or even longer). I am self-employed in an import/export business, and have a large house and garden, the care of which get away from me without assistance. The help needed is with day-to-day housework, and gardening. It's not hard, but with a house the size of mine it's too much for a single person with a busy business. Someone who’s a bit handy and could undertake a few little fix-it jobs would be an added bonus. I work full-time, and in the weeks my daughter with me I sometimes need assistance to get her to her various activities, so a full driver's license is required (although I can provide a car). My elderly mum occasionally needs to be driven places as well - she's a fun lady who provides vibrant and lively conversation. Last (but not least) is our dog, Bobbie. She is a gentle and easy member of the household, but...

Starting asap.** A busy 2 hectare block in Earnscleugh/Alexandra NZ that has a small scale plant nursery. We manage the Nursery growing plants that suit our region and are hardy to our environment. This takes up most of our time. We need help with garden and day to day lifestyle block tasks. Plenty to keep one busy with mowing, weeding & tidying. Our Vegetable & Berry gardens are a bit overgrown, & sometimes the seedlings don't make it into the garden on time to grow. We currently have a building project that we need help for. We are happy to teach you nursery tasks such as potting on, growing from seed, cuttings & division. Teddy, Walter & Slinky Bill the cats live in the house too. Sheep and Hens to take care of. You would have your own room in our home. All other amenities are shared. We are located 10 minutes drive from Clyde & Alexandra. We have...

We are looking for inspiring people who would like to experience a special part of the South Island. We are a family of two teenage boys, who live 10km from Timaru on a 10 hectare lifestyle block. We have 360 degree views from the mountains to the sea. We live in a spacious new home.

I am a lady farmer running our family farm which is an 80 hectare sheep and beef property, with horses. We have a close country community with my sister and family living nearby, so guests can expect to experience New Zealand rural life. You will live as family in our home with your own bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Duties will be varied and include cooking, housework gardening, help with the animals and general farm duties. There are several horses to be cared for and exercised, if you are a very capable rider, as some of the horses are young. This would suit 2 friends or a couple with their own transport. This is not such a great place if you have allergies. Because I have arthritis my mobility is somewhat limited. We welcome self-motivated adults who will roll up their sleeves and enjoy the tasks. People who like to make a difference and are happy to socialise with us and our friends.

Our home is our little piece of paradise. We look out over the Mahau Sound. There are kayaks so you can explore the Mahau Sound. You will get a wet bottom but the time spent exploring will make that worth while. At night time it is a short walk to see the glow worms sprinkled along the banks at the top of the drive. Your bed is comfortable, the washing machine is there for you to use, and the food is great. Luna will love it if you throw her stick so she can chase it. There is always something to do here. Getting rid of wilding pines is our next main project. Work in our (very) small orchard is ongoing. Weeding, watering, planting, clearing the banks and tracks of fallen leaves and fern fronds etc. On the track to Lone Pine Point we are revitalising the bank and have been planting native plants. We use a lot of firewood during the cooler months so firewood may be on the job list,( if Brian has cut down a tree.) If it is raining then we will organise some inside jobs. Maybe wind...

In July and August we can offer you a warm "home away from home" on 2 acres of gardens in a country setting, just 10 minutes outside Tauranga. It's a bit like Hobbitons Shire meets outdoor gym 😄, as most shrubs and small trees need pruning, wood needs splitting and garden tidy jobs need attention before spring. We have two cats (1 Mainecoon, one moggie hunter), two playful dogs, many fruit trees and lots of much loved outdoor plants, including many NZ native plants. At times we raise our own (friendly) lambs and pigs and do some home processing into hams, bacon etc. Your cottage is mostly just yours, clean and very comfortable 60m2 accommodation separate from the main house with 1 bedroom, a bathroom/shower, own washing machine, a large living area, a nice little kitchen, and wifi. We like 2 people at a time, and for a week or two, depending on work available. You'll definitely want a car to get around. There is always plenty to do with a wide variety of tasks both outside an...

Our home is situated on a 3 acre property north of Christchurch. It is 20 minutes to both the central city and the airport. We are a recently retired couple who enjoy cooking, meeting new people and living a peaceful life! We are looking for help with maintaining the house and garden. Presently this would include trimming, weeding, possibly wood stacking and clearing, and/or some housework, so a good level of fitness would help. The garden is well established with beautiful trees, shrubs, pond and many spaces for quiet reflection. We have one duck and various chooks. We'd like someone (or a couple) to work fours hours a day in exchange for a beautiful, comfortable environment, which includes spa and food. We generally take people for a week - this includes 2 days off. It would be ideal to have a car but we are happy to collect from the airport. We are one hour from the nearest ski field and 15 minutes from the township of Rangiora

This is a certified organic macadamia nut orchard situated on 10ha in the foothills of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. We can pick helpers up from Swanson train station, which is 6km away. Having your own transport would enable you to explore the beautiful west coast beaches. Bethells Beach/Te Henga is 10km further down the road. Helpers activities are seasonal, and may include harvesting macadamia nuts in winter; processing the nuts; shelter belt maintenance; firewood splitting; weed grubbing and minimal gardening. We work alongside helpers and show you what to do. Please be aware that orchard work is physical, you will get dirty and there could be a few bugs! We request an average of 4 hours help per night stayed in return for food and accommodation. So that is 28 hours per week. However we aim to have a day off each week by working 2 x 6 hour days, or an 8 hour day. We can usually be flexible and also consider our helper's wishes. Work starts at 9am. We have a separate co...

** CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR HELP** Hi, welcome to NZ, and hopefully to Kōpuaranga, Masterton! Our home out of site of other houses, so a rural experience, views and usually a great night sky are guaranteed - yet still only a ten minute drive to our service town of Masterton which has rail links to Wellington. An easy pick up or drop off if you do not have your own vehicle. We are located just a 1.5 hour drive north of Wellington off State Highway 2. Masterton is central to a lot of walks, mountains rivers and coastline and some beach/ surf communities too.

We have now been on this property for 18 months, so much has been achieved with HelpX travel friends, but we are only half way through... Outside we are building bird rearing pens, raising chickens and sheep, and further developing our produce and ornamental gardens. Inside we are wallpaper stripping...

Tēnā koutou, We are a French/Algerian/Kiwi family. We moved to the North of the South Island (Te Wai Pounamou) in 2023 and live on a four hectare property where there is lots to be done. Mathew is into agroecology, permaculture and conservation. He has experience running workshops and leading work groups. Rym is interested in Indigenous knowledge, community development and the disruption of the current economic system. We speak French and English at home.

There are a range of tasks to be done, mainly gardening, fencing work, animal care (chickens and sheep) and fire wood cutting/stacking/moving.

If you are also a wwoofer you can find us at wwoof.nz A lovely life sentence block 7km inland from Waiwera where once were the famous Waiwera hot pools until some Russian bastard ruined them. We have two hundred olive trees requiring maintenance, and lots, 25, fruit trees and a garden including food around the house. Adapting to climate change is quite challenging and continuous. It is a nice place to stay. But that should not be your reason to want to come. It is much more enjoyable for a couple who can work together and enjoy the experience and the environment. After nearly twenty months of continuous rain,(it has stopped now) everything is a bit in need of a catch up. You wouldn't believe the weed growth! The damage caused by rotting roots of most of our fruit trees is extraordinary. It all looks very sad. So a lot of remedial work is needed. Mostly spraying and pruning. Here is a quick guide of what we will be doing: Anytime; Adding mulch around all (200) of the trees. January; A...

This is a historic country homestead set in rural Central Hawke’s Bay, on Porangahau Road, surrounded by gardens, mature trees, open farmland, birdsong and big skies. Built in 1853 by the Ormond family, Wallingford is one of Hawke’s Bay’s oldest homesteads and has a wonderfully peaceful, tucked-away feeling — the sort of place where guests arrive down the driveway, exhale, and settle into country life. The homestead is run by Chris and Jeanette Stockdale, former Sydney restaurateurs who swapped city restaurant life for the joy of creating warm, generous hospitality in the country. Chris is an experienced chef with a deep love of seasonal, garden-led and locally sourced food, while Jeanette brings warmth, humour and genuine care to the front of house. Together, they create an experience that is relaxed, welcoming and full of heart. Our homestead has been described by one guest as “possibly the most welcoming place in the world,” which beautifully captures the spirit of the homestead. ...

Kia Ora. I run an Angora goat farm just outside Oxford in North Canterbury. I have 180 very cute goats which I shear for fibre twice per year. I also farm sheep and cattle. I farm in a sustainable way and have been trialling some regenerative agricultural practices.

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al
