We can have a couple or 2 friends that dont mind sharing We are a family-run flower farm growing a wide range of seasonal blooms including roses and lilies. Our flowers are harvested fresh and sold through our on-site farm shop, to local florists, and to wholesale customers, so the farm is always busy and changing with the seasons. As a HelpX helper you’ll be part of our small, hardworking team and experience genuine farm life. Work is hands-on and varies depending on the time of year, but can include picking flowers, bunching, cleaning and preparing blooms, tidying garden beds, weeding, general farm maintenance and helping keep things running smoothly. The work can be physical at times, but it’s rewarding and you’ll see the results of your effort straight away. This is not a resort or retreat — it’s a real working farm — but it’s a warm, friendly environment where helpers are appreciated and treated like part of the team. We value people who are reliable, positive, and willing to giv...

Kia ora! Seeking help all through the year. The home is a large Oamaru stone villa where my 20yr old son and our tabby cat live with me. Our work does take us away from home from time to time and we need help to maintain the existing gardens, and to redevelop some areas. I am redeveloping an area to become a vegetable garden and would love help with this. We have around 2 acres of garden - mainly flowers, hedges and mature trees with a pond which plays host to gold fish and attracts numerous dragonflies. The gardens are very tranquil.

The majority of work will be weeding, pruning, trimming. I expect 4 hours of productive work each day in exchange for accommodation, breakfast provisions for you to help yourself to, lunch and dinner. The accommodation is a bedroom in a s...

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.

We are ceramic artists who live on our 1 hectare property about 20km inland from the beautiful Doubtless Bay area. We run our pottery business from home and look after our organic gardens, small orchard and numerous chickens. We have traveled widely ourselves and hosted travelers for over 10 years with another organisation, so are interested in HelpX for both the cultural exchanges and to be able to share our lifestyle with others while getting some help around the property.

Hi, my name is Marianne. I live on a classic New Zealand "tree quarter acre section" on a north facing (all day sun) hobbit hill, looking down to Oamaru. If you arrive early enough at my kitchen window or even up on the jungle hill behind the cottage, you can see the sea and watch the sunrise. A 10 minute stroll down Eden Street gets you either to the CBD or to the shoreline. I am providing three basic meals per day as well as a comfortable and quiet room for your stay and to relax after our daily four hours of working together "out there", somewhere on some befitting project. Currently the main focus is on landscaping, forging a pathway up the hill via carving out soil on one side and adding to the other side, creating little embankment walls in the process. Most of these embankments will be made from recycled Oamaru natural stone, a few with recycled glass bottles. Our white Oamaru sandstone has attracted various sculptors to our town, because it is soft enough to be cut and carved...

Kia ora. . Peak Valley is a high country station (10,000acres) farming merino sheep and beef on the edge of Lake Benmore. We are isolated. 45 mins from the highway. Couples or two friends work best in this isolated environment. The jobs are varied from gardening to farm work. It is a wilderness wonderland we like to share. There is the possibility of paid work if you have the right skill set. It is preferable that you have own transport. Accommodation is your own 3 bedroom cottage and we would supply food as you would cater for yourselves. It is off grid. Internet access and phone are at our home 1km away. Cheers.

We (Jules and Cam) moved onto a 19acre lifestyle block just outside Christchurch last year. We have some pet animals - a cat, Waipu goats, a couple of piggies, chickens and 2 mischievous donkeys. We also have sheep and are getting a few steers. It's a big piece of land and since we both work full-time we would appreciate help with some general maintenance - this could be weeding, lawn-mowing, picking fruit, fixing fences, painting or other adhoc projects. It will most likely be quite physical so bear that in mind. The house is in a very rural and peaceful area at the foot of the Port Hills but a less than 10 minute drive to the amenities in Halswell or cute Tai Tapu. We're approximately 30minutes to the CBD. Whilst we are happy to collect people from bus station/ airport it would be essential to have transport whilst staying if you wanted to get around. We have a spare room in the house, or if you have a van we have a caravan plug on the side of the house so you are welcome to park ...

Hi there Traveler We offer a farm stay with great views and good conversation. We chopped down a pine forest and replanted with Manuka about 4 years ago so it’s starting to look really great, and more native birds are about. Established a wetland reserve as well. Also we are developing another small retreat area that needs assistance with tracks and tree management. Some stock work is all so on offer but we will work with you all the time as it’s safer and more fun. cheers and safe travels Geoff and Declan

We moved back to Dunedin 8 years ago and since have made the garden more diverse by taking out a hedge to plant some native trees to provide better habitat for birds, insects,etc. There is now general upkeep and maintenance in the garden, including some tree and shrub cutting back, and some plants to be moved to more suitable locations within the garden. I focus on growing good organic vegetables, but also enjoy my flower garden. We have an 8 year old dog, Mocha. She was a rescue puppy, and is a Huntaway cross. We have a clean comfortable home, can cook vegetarian or vegan meals if required and are on a bus route which takes 8 - 10 min to the centre of Dunedin.

* Update I have an opening for a couple of helpers for a few days this coming weekend * I’m originally from the UK and now live in a lovely home on the edge of the Redwood Forest in Lynmore, Rotorua, with my two Kiwi kids (aged 8 and 10). We’re lucky to have New Zealand’s best mountain biking trails right on our doorstep, as well as stunning lakes, walks, and Rotorua’s incredible geothermal and cultural attractions — all of which we love exploring as locals. I’ve hosted Helpers for years before COVID and am excited to reconnect with the wonderful HelpX community. Our home is shared with chickens, bunnies, a friendly dog, and two young, slightly crazy cats (mostly house cats). We keep bees (so please note this may not suit anyone with serious allergies), grow veggies, and have plenty of trees and gardens to look after.

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'll keep the larder stocked with whatever food you like, we don't eat much meat but can supply it. We have bikes for your use and are surrounded by wineries, or there's always a shady tree to nap under.
