Hello and welcome to our symbiotic living project. Our 20 acre hobby farm is in peaceful surrounds, with river access for swimming and water play; we are within 20 minutes of various stunning beaches, bush walks, Tairua, and Whitianga. We have 2 rescue cows, 5 sheep, 2 cats, some chickens (and a rooster!) and 2 boisterous, friendly and fun German Shepherds. We are always happy to share our land with others. We are slowly transforming our farm paddocks through the addition of native and edible plantings, community garden area development, compost loo, solar shower, deck making and cottage building. We aim to create a magical space for many to benefit from and seek many hands to make light work of our various projects. Tasks include gardening, mulching, planting, cleaning, and light building if that's in your skillset. We are always working on improving our infrastructure and landscape, so any help and ideas are welcome. There's something for everyone, come join the fun! Accommodation...

Our home is myself and my daughter (18) , both working,one dog and one ferocious cat named Christmas Pudding, four chickens and a big garden so I am always happy to get some help. We have a good sense of humor and like to share our kiwi culture.The area is great for cycling, hiking, fishing and hunting. I will supply great food and company and a lot of local knowledge of the beautiful places to visit in our close proximity, in return for 5 hours of help per day. I prefer helpers who have a car but I can pick up in Murupara if necessary. There is a bus from Rotorua to Murupara 3 times a week. Our home is very peaceful in Galatea valley with outstanding views of the bordering mountain range, about 10 minutes drive from Murupara. We have WI-fi. MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH and enjoy the same food as we do. I will only host for a maximum five days, could be shorter too depending on help needed at time. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you. Update.

Greetings intrepid explorers from exotic distant lands, come and hang out at my place. I offer a lovely warm house, a majestic view, beautiful bread, and copious amounts of fish. The work varies from domestics and gardening to building and painting. In exchange I ask for 3 hours per day (9 to 12) [or 3 days of 4hrs gets a day off], and the odd domestic chore. You don't work on the day you arrive or the day you leave (except to put fresh linen on the bed). Stays last about 2 weeks. Behind my place is the mighty Coromandel Range so you can go bush-crashing up the creek, into the wild. Swim and fish on the beach. Maybe use windsurfer boards (as kayaks) and go fishing. Or take a trip out to my magic fishing spot with me. Possibly cycle 4km to Waiomu and walk 1hr or jog 20min to a stunning Kauri Grove. 10km to Thames. The Pinnacles track is about 45miutes away for a great overnighter.

Hi Helpers, We are situated in the heart of Raglan in a nice little tucked away valley (walking distance to the town center). On the land there are a few dwellings (two main houses, a yurt and a tiny house). As a helper you will live in the tiny house. It has a loft area for the bed, and a semi outside (complete closed in) kitchen and bathroom area. The tiny house is insulated, and there is a wood burner to keep the place cosy on those colder days. We are looking for someone (1 person or a couple probably best, but can be two friends) who can help with garden tidy-up (lawns, weeds and pruning) and other works around the property (e.g. clearing out the storm water drains, extending the garden, small building projects, etc.). In the valley we have two couples in the yurt and one of the main houses, respectively and a family of 4 (two children aged 9 and 11). There are also 7 chicken, two bunnies, and 3 cats. We ask for about 2 hours per day/person in exchange for accommodation ...

A beach front section. Kayaking, body boarding, swimming and fishing available for guests. Accomodation and meals provided in exchange for four hours work a day. Gardening, housework, general household maintenance and painting could be requested. I can collect people from the end of the Taupo Bay road or Mangonui. My preference is for people to stay a week . Taupo Bay is quite a small community and no public transport is available so it is often easier to have your own transport. Certainly not essential as arrangements can be made for collection and support to get to your next destination. Many thanks for looking. Fran

We currently have enough helpers until mid July, then we are looking for more helpers, so get in touch if that suits you! We are a young married couple who are building our strawbale house. It will be a passive house, so very low energy. It's in a suburban / urban setting on the port hills of Christchurch City with a view down the valley and nature reserves nearby with lots of hikes. My husband is building our dream home full time and needs some helpers. He is a qualified builder and is always willing to teach, but prefers helpers who have some building experience already. We are now 2/3 complete with the house. My retired parents live nearby, provide accommodation and food and my dad also helps build. We frequently host weekend workshops for friends to learn and assist. There are a number of natural building techniques that are uncommon but very sustainable and we are keen to share our knowledge.

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 routburn 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,no bum, guts or shoulder shooters.please don`t apply unless you intend to come.minimum stay 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. as I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers !

Available now - painting experience wanted. I have been living in Whangarei for most of my life - love it here :-) myself and partner have recently bought a home on half an acre of land a few minutes drive from the CBD and also have a Waterfront Bach 10 minutes drive away too. Love helping the community, mountain biking and mountain biking trails and exploring lots of fun things to do nearby. With these homes there`s plenty of work to be done around - including especially painting, yard work / gardening, housework, helping building a tree house etc. I`d like to meet some travellers to help out with these and happy to introduce / show around some of northland`s best attractions / secrets! Can provide sleeping quarters, food and drinks for around 4 hours work per day.. Can also potentially provide a bike to borrow / further allowances dependent on the level of work.. Also if anyone has any specific experience and career history as any building related trade I would happily pay a go...

We are looking for one person or maybe two practical people who can just potter about sorting out some jobs. The jobs I have are feeding animals peacock, chickens, pig. Then I’m keen to find someone to help with some gardening Ive been busy so its a bit overgrown. I’d also like to re-organise my entire implement shed to make a more workable space. Plenty of garden jobs and always clearing and de-cluttering and Pruning. We are home most of the time and just go about doing general jobs on our farm & garden. Would you like to come and join us for a bit? We aim to keep you relaxed, well fed and always included with family activities. It is beautiful here and the Tui’s are here on mass. Cold but sunny. Lots to do before winter sets in so we need to get outside with some help. Our jobs are totally seasonal and changes from month to month, but focus is on improving the garden, outdoor seating areas, making the most of our beautiful outside. We are a working farm with some really fun life...
