Help
In general: We could do with some help with garden. We sometimes have a DIY project or two underway which could be helped along if you have DIy/joinery skills . If you are fit and strong we can provide outdoor tasks that will keep you that way :-) Right now we need some help clearing and weeding the garden and tidying out a shed.

Accommodation
Fancy waking up to a fabulous sea view? We live in a beautiful spot, 10 mins drive from Akaroa, close to Duvauchelle and can offer lovely accommodation separate to our house to one or two people willing to lend a hand with general spring clean/ gardening duties. We seek 4.5 hours (hard) work every day in exchange for accommodation and (good!) food. We can pick up from the Akaroa Shuttle. You are welcome to use our swimming pool (in summer) and enjoy all that Banks Peininsula has to offer.

It was a real pleasure to host them. They are conscientious workers who just need to be told roughly what is to be done and they use their initiative from there. No task was a problem and they have a great attitude to life. They are in workaway for… read more
