Hello, I live 25 km from Picton in the Marlborough Sounds on the seaside. I am an artist and organic gardener. The views here are spectacular. I feed the bellbirds and Tuis on the deck. Here you are constantly surrounded by native bird song. And can walk on a beach daily. There is an outside room with a double and a single bed in it and a composting toilet and a shower. There is also a caravan. I can pick you up in Linkwater which is our closest town although its only a Pub and a petrol station but its on the main Queen Charlotte road half way between Picton and Havelock.If you are finishing the Queen Charlotte track I can pick you up. This is a beautiful place to spend a week or so. I have 4 free range chickens and a very friendly dog.

I live by the beach which is great for swimming (summer) and fishing and walking. There is plenty of...

Welcome to our peaceful 3-acre lifestyle property in the beautiful Hokianga region of Northland, New Zealand. If you're looking for a genuine escape from city life, our small farm offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience a more self-sufficient way of living. We share our land with free-ranging chickens, productive vegetable gardens, and a growing collection of fruit trees that help provide food for our table throughout the year. There are always a variety of interesting projects underway. We are currently converting an old wool shed into accommodation, creating a unique and comfortable space for future guests and helpers. Those who enjoy practical hands-on work will find plenty of opportunities for woodworking, building projects, gardening, planting, maintenance, and general farm activities. We are passionate about producing healthy food from the land and learning traditional skills. Depending on the season, you may be involved in harvesting fruit ...

We live on a small property eight minutes from Kerikeri township. We have a private lake and kayaks are available to explore. We used to run a bed and breakfast here so I guess we can say we dont bite and our place is clean and comfortable. Some animals and chickens on site. Fruit when in season. Having a vehicle to explore for times when you are not working is a must and there is no public transport here. We are meat eaters. We need help now throughout the year. I have some physical limitations and require help to get on top of STUFF. We have many trees that have been felled waiting for splitting with a fuel powered machine, paths needed to be built, gardening, general gardening tools available and I am also building a cottage. Inside work for those wet days include painting, plus preparation, cleaning windows plus other general household tasks. Woodworking/carpentry skills could be an asset. There is a workshop here if you want to pursue a project. A previous couple outfitted th...

We have an automotive country workshop where we fix and service cars, 4WDs, trailers, tractors and all sorts of machinery. In our spare time we look after our little farm, some sheep, some cattle and rabbits. We also have a forest where we work and tidy up occasionally. So we are always in need of a couple of helpful hands to support us. We love to get to know different cultures and people. We grow our own meat, fruit and vegetables. Gustav also brews his own beer and makes wine and cider and lately also green tea. A mature, non-smoking, self-organized person, preferable not a vegetarian, to give us a hand with house and land, would fit best into our lifestyle. You will have to join into our daily routines: breakfast is at around 7am and then we feed all the animals, especially the hungry dogs and work starts at 8am. We need to get everyone organized before customers arrive in the workshop. We expect about 4 hours work per day and we offer a nice room with a lovely warm bed, gr...

Seven years ago we sold our farm in Mauriceville West and are now living on the outskirts of Masterton where we have 6 acres. We have stunning views to the mountains in the West and rural views of hill ranges and farms to the East. We have a walk and cycle path outside the gate where you can walk to Masterton or other walks. We live adjacent to Lansdowne Golf Course. As we are both retired we now need extra help with gardening, cleaning, window cleaning and sometimes fencing or painting. We run a small AirBnB at our property which may require changing sometimes. We also have another house in Masterton which may require maintenance at times. We both like meeting people and have traveled ourselves many times, we have also met up with and keep in contact with several of our past helpx helpers when we've been overseas

We run a three bedroom accomodation located in the beautiful historic area of Kerikeri just up from the Stone Store. We are looking for preferably a single person (ranking as mature) interested in staying at the lodge and taking care of the general running of things (around 2-4 hours per day , negotiable) This is very relaxed and mostly entails greeting guests in the afternoons and showing them to their rooms (only when we have bookings), cleaning rooms if the cleaner is away, taking bookings as well as some general property maintenance. You will stay in a separate part of the lodge with full kitchen, private room and bathroom. I am generally around the lodge most days but leave in the evenings as I live with my partner out of Kerikeri. So we work as a team. This means you will likely be taking care of yourself in the evenings, so being able to cook is important. We include you in most socil activities if you are keen, such as sailing. Every Helpx so far has been nothing short o...

Kia Ora, This is an Organic B&B annex residential Therapy centre for auditory brain stimulation to improve how we learn, live & listen. Background in journalism, music and eduction.

That organisation (www.wwoof.co.nz) is in fact my first port of call. I only recently got back on board with HelpX. You'd work independently, so some know-how is required especially with regards to the gardens. Work hours: flexible but generally between 4 -5 hrs daily, preferably in the morning. You either can cater for yourselves ( in case you stay in one of the studios) or have your meals provided for, whatever suits best. With regards to your accommodation: over the winter that would most likely be either in one of the studios or up at the main house. The studios have their own kitchen so in case you choose to be there you may want to do your own cooking. The rooms upsta...

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.
