We’re on a tranquil lifestyle block in the beautiful historic village of Puhoi. Very handy to Auckland, less than a 40-minute drive to the CBD, but a world away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The village center is within easy walking distance. It includes the historic Puhoi Pub, a General Store, sports club, kayak hire business, small museum and small café.

Autumn 25 Thank you for your interest. We are a small family with 2 young school aged children 11 and 12yrs. We have been here on the vineyard for 7 years. This is our primary focus. We are growing a small orchard, our own vegetables and have lots of gardens and lawns to mow! We have olive trees, and 2 cats and dogs. We try to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible My husband and I both have experience in Biodynamic farming at previous work-place employment's. My husband and I did all the work that we could on the vineyard in the first 2 years and then we realised that we weren't having any fun with our children. We joined HELPX 4 summers ago and have had such a good experience with helpers. We are still in touch with some of them since they have returned home. We think it is great for our children to experience different people and cultures. There are other jobs like firewood, and gardening tidy-up jobs that I don't get around to doing myself! My husband mana...

We are a busy couple who live on a 10 acre plot of land close to the sea in Northland. Our plot of land allows us to practice self sufficiency with a large vegetable garden, orchard, cattle, sheep, chooks, a dog and cats. Our meals are home grown, or locally caught, we eat what we grow organically. We ask for help in our garden, orchard, general farm and everyday chores, repairs and maintenance both on the land and on the boat. We need 2 people for some tasks so couples or friends are what we prefer. There is a stunning DOC walking track that starts on our boundary and there are lots of beautiful beaches within a 50km radius, and a beautiful surf beach - Taupo Bay 25 minutes away. We also have kayaks for your use. We look forward to hearing from you. Anne and Doug

Hi travellers, welcome to NZ! I found out about helpx from travellers overseas and thought I would try it. We live on a sheep and beef farm 35 minutes east of Masterton, 15 minutes from Riversdale beach and 25 minutes from Castlepoint beach. I live with my partner Mel and daughters Kenzie (3yrs) and Emmie (1yr). We are looking for 2 people to help us. 1 person to look after our daughters and help around the house and the other person to help Alex on the farm. You will have your own room, food supplied, Internet and washing machine. We can pick you up from Masterton. I have travelled a lot and enjoy meeting new people. I think a travelling experience is most enjoyable when a local shows you the local sites, cultures and attractions. I have had many friends, who I have met overseas, visit me and I enjoy being host and enhancing their NZ experience. And when I visit them they do the same for me. Alex, Mel, Kenzie & Emmie

Welcome to Wentworth Park - our property is an old deer farm in beautiful Te Pahu, about 20minutes from Hamilton, 30minutes to Raglan, at the bottom of Mt Pirongia and on the path of Te Araroa. Our house is a magical 150 year old 2 storey villa that has been relocated onto this site on top of our hill about 50 years ago now.

We've lived overseas for many years, including time in South America, Asia and the Middle East, and returned 15 years ago to start our 'off grid adventure'. Having 'internationalized' it's been time to put some roots down (literally) in a sustainable, creative and co-evolutionary way. These days we're a family of four (kids aged 13 and 10) with 3 dogs/chickens/guinea pigs. We speak some Spanish and a little Japanese and would receive foreigners eagerly (also fellow NZers of course). We're one hour's drive from the nearest towns (Kaitaia and Kerikeri) although a small organic co-op is twenty-five minutes away. Neighbours include a Bee-Keeper and his family, artists, potters and homesteaders, some of whom are open to receiving helpers who may wish to spend more time in the area. People wishing to learn about setting up off-grid so that they can do so themselves would be able to pick up valuable skills at our place. Helpers stay in either a fifteen by eight foot caravan with solar power...

I run a Bed and Breakfast in Kuaotunu, 30 minutes drive from Coromandel town, and 20 minutes from Whitianga. The property has two rooms for guests and is situated in a large garden, across the road from the beach. While you can’t see the beach, you can certainly hear it. The little village of Kuaotunu is close by. I’m currently looking for help principally with gardening--pruning, weeding, hedge trimming and clearing of some areas, possibly mulching, sorting compost bins. If the weather is not good then there will be indoor cleaning jobs(eg kitchen, floors, windows, carpet cleaning, giving guest rooms a good "spring clean"), along with other odd jobs that may present (particularly those that require climbing up a ladder!, or help with my website, social media if that is your thing). You need to be reliable, able to work independently, and be flexible about the work you do—tasks will vary depending on whether guests are present, and the weather.

From our place you can ride the bicycle trail into town, taking about 20 minutes, or there is a bus stop not far away or even better if you have your own transport. We designed and built our passive solar house, constructed from Adobe Earth Blocks, a sustainable eco-friendly method of building. Using local materials such as clay and straw, it keeps everyone cool on the hot days and warm and dry on the coolest. Our preference is to host you for up to one week or more if it suits.

Kia Ora, We are a family of 3. Rich is a chef, Helen is a nurse & our son is 14. Our dog ‘T-Rex’ is an 8 year old Labrador & also have 6 beautiful, rowdy chickens. We have hosted Help X volunteers many times in the past, but we closed our account down at the start of the pandemic & lost our reviews. Our past Help X crew helped us set up our current Air BnB, and came from all around the globe. The space you’ll live in during this winter period is our precious ‘Superhost/guests favourite’ Air BnB space. We are quieter in winter so will work HelpX in around our Air BnB bookings. We’re a busy whānau/family with lots going on in our whare/home. We’re in a residential area, 7kms out of Rotorua central. We’re looking for 1 person or a couple to help with a number of things, but currently working on digging out our chicken run which will take a couple of days.

Hello, We would like to have some help on the farm now, August, with lots of odd jobs and in September for jobs and help with the animals. We are due to calve with our two milking girls. Then we get another 12 calves to feed as well. I am looking for help for 2 weeks from September. If you don't mind working in the wet or cold outside, then I would love to hear from you. We have some general farm jobs that would be great to have a bit of help with. Some fencing, erecting a barn, tidying up the vegetable garden and orchard.. If you are available and keen to help out, we would love to hear back from you. We have a small lifestyle farm with all the usual animals, cows, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, birds, fish.....

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 ...

We live on a 10 acre lifestyle property with various animals, both pets (cats) and chickens. At times we also raise calves and pigs.
