Kia ora and welcome! We’re Tana and Jacqui, a friendly whānau of four living in Waitangi, in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Our spacious family home looks over the Waitangi River and Te Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands), across to Kororāreka (Russell). We enjoy welcoming travellers through HelpX and sharing a little of our everyday life, our home and this special part of Aotearoa New Zealand. Our home Our HelpX guests have private use of a spacious downstairs guest area, set up with both a sleeping area and a spacious lounge. The sleeping area has two double beds together in the same space, with curtains that separate the sleeping area from the lounge rather than separating the beds from each other. For this reason, we prefer to host two people travelling together. The adjoining lounge is yours to enjoy during your stay, with French doors opening out towards beautiful views over the Waitangi River and across Te Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands) towards Kororāreka (Russell). It’s a comforta...

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

Kia ora, travellers; haere mai - welcome! My whare (home) in beautiful Honeymoon Valley, is surrounded by native rainforest, birds and insects. 30 years ago, we built this eco-earth house using the clay from right under our feet. This whenua used to be just grass; now there are mature trees, orchards, and organic gardens. Life here is peaceful and quiet, perfect for enjoying nature. I belong to the local Honeymoon Valley Landcare Trust, involved in conservation work and protecting native forest, birds, lizards, and insects. I trap predators and remove invasive weeds. I use organic/permaculture methods in my gardens for my vegetables, fruit trees, chickens. I need help with mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting, sewing), cleaning, chopping firewood. I bake bread, make apple cider vinegar, bottle fruit, jam, chutney, sauerkraut, and collect seeds. On my wish-list: The chicken house needs a lean-to roof, and another needed in f...

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

We are on an 70 acre farm in North Pope County, Illinois and are virtually surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest. Having been on this farm for 13 years, we are still developing infrastructure and are continuing to plant in the orchard and various berries as well as establishing and expanding garden and crop areas. We are a GMO, herbicide and pesticide free farm in all of our outdoor areas. As we are far away from "modern agricultural" property, we feel that we should have no problems with cross pollination of our crops with GMO's or damage/exposure from/to ag chemicals. There are many projects currently in process or in the planning stages. This summer/fall we hope to get new water and electric lines ran to all the barns and the greenhouse as well as get a fiber studio framed in and get the finishing touches on the greenhouses. Tasks on the farm are endless, so there are always things to do year round. Clearing brush, cutting wood, building fence, baling hay, sawing lumber, ...

Sheep are sheared and stay in the warmth of the barn now, so we need some volunteers to feed the sheep and make yourself friend sheep while you clean the barn to keep it nice for them. There can be some other extra task Beggi (the farmer) can ask you to do, but still, you'll have free time to enjoy hot spots and swimming pool! There is also a project with a former mussel factory.

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

(La description en français se trouve plus bas !) We are a small Buddhist community living in the forest close to Sainte-Julienne, Quebec. We have an organic fruit tree nursery, along with many other projects on our land: several fruit orchards, chickens and bees, growing our own vegetables and herbs and trying to be independent in many ways. The five people who are staying are: Ajan, Eric, Veronique, Natalie and Camille. Each of us have arrived here one by one, at first just interested in helping out in the place, and then as we found that this lifestyle was for us, deciding to stay for longer. For part of the year we also have a couple of employees staying with us. There is also a wonderful dog named Dali. Our organic nursery and garden occupies a land of 9 hectares, surrounded by forest. As well as the main land of the nursery, we have another smaller land where a few of us live. This is, in fact, where the community started to grow from very small beginnings in the early 2000s, ...

Looking for helpers NOW. Located in Melbourne's Southern eastern suburbs, only 1 hour by train to Melbourne CBD. We have a hobby farm with 2 cows, 2 goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. We are best suited to accommodate a couple or 2 friends travelling together and wanting to stay for 2 weeks or more. Helper accommodation is very neat self contained studio style cottage, with your own King Bed, Lounge, kitchen, bathroom and meals area. We would welcome anyone with any handyman skills etc. General duties include caring for the animals, gardening, mowing, weeding, fence repairs, painting, wood splitting and other odd jobs.

Many of our helpers also find paid work nearby and earn some money while staying with us. We are also offering some $$ payment for house and pet sitting in Feb and March 2027. Contact me for details ...

Hi there, and welcome to Christchurch, We have a charming, but largish, garden and an old weatherboard house and are giving them both some loving attention. We are interested in help - mostly with gardening and house maintenance, and some indoor housework - in exchange for food and board. We are keen to hear from someone looking for around a 3-7days stay. Happy to be flexible around hours (e.g. can be 4 hours work per day or 1 day on then 1 day off). We are friendly and welcoming, and both work from home for some of the time. Our house is close to the Christchurch CDB and the Port Hills, and is near 3 major city bus routes. Own comfortable room and fast WiFi available. We have one friendly Jack Russell terrier. We have both traveled and lived overseas, and enjoy meeting people from different countries. We look forward to being part of your NZ experience.

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. PLEASE NOTE WELL: we absolutely cannot host anyone with any pre-existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions), such as hay fever, any other allergies, sensitivities or intolerances. We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees.

If you'd like to experience natural, simple living and see what it is like to start a life relying more on yourself than the consumer driven culture, and hear about the realities of "community living", then we may just be a match. We are a young family with four kids under 10, trying hard to transition into self sufficiency. We live off grid, on a bush block. It is a 15 minutes drive to town. A bus can be caught 2.4km away. Coonabarabran is Australia's astronomy capital. The observatory here allows space and planet enthusiasts to explore their interests. We produce our own goat's milk, eggs and have been enjoying tones of salad greens. Now its time for spring planting. My kids are homeschooled, don't eat or watch junk, not allowed tech devices, run and play with each other, help garden and clean up, my 5 year old chops wood, mills flour, my 8 year sews and weaves - and they love the lifestyle. If we watch a film, we discuss the subliminal messages. I spent summers in Russia on dac...

I need help all the year to maintain the big farm (orange and olive harvest, trees pruning, pick-up fallen oranges, and so on..) If you come, you will have your own room (1 for a couple or separate), and access to all the rest of the house (kitchen, bathroom...). I like to share the meal, and provide food if you want to cook. You also can use WI-FI connection. You could enjoy the life between the farm and the city of Skala Lakonia, wich offer a lot of coffee shop, restaurants, and any kind of stores. Minimum stay is 2 weeks, to allow time to learn about life on the farm. I need help for a maximum of 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, depending on the weather. I really like to meet new people and introduce them to Greece history. I practice karaté (three times per week) and would be happy to show you basis if you are interested. If you want to discover...

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

Kia ora, travellers; haere mai - welcome! My whare (home) in beautiful Honeymoon Valley, is surrounded by native rainforest, birds and insects. 30 years ago, we built this eco-earth house using the clay from right under our feet. This whenua used to be just grass; now there are mature trees, orchards, and organic gardens. Life here is peaceful and quiet, perfect for enjoying nature. I belong to the local Honeymoon Valley Landcare Trust, involved in conservation work and protecting native forest, birds, lizards, and insects. I trap predators and remove invasive weeds. I use organic/permaculture methods in my gardens for my vegetables, fruit trees, chickens. I need help with mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting, sewing), cleaning, chopping firewood. I bake bread, make apple cider vinegar, bottle fruit, jam, chutney, sauerkraut, and collect seeds. On my wish-list: The chicken house needs a lean-to roof, and another needed in f...

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

We are looking for like minded individuals who are passionate about restoration/building and maintenance, love nature and have a good nature and willing to share a laugh over some good food.

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

We are on an 70 acre farm in North Pope County, Illinois and are virtually surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest. Having been on this farm for 13 years, we are still developing infrastructure and are continuing to plant in the orchard and various berries as well as establishing and expanding garden and crop areas. We are a GMO, herbicide and pesticide free farm in all of our outdoor areas. As we are far away from "modern agricultural" property, we feel that we should have no problems with cross pollination of our crops with GMO's or damage/exposure from/to ag chemicals. There are many projects currently in process or in the planning stages. This summer/fall we hope to get new water and electric lines ran to all the barns and the greenhouse as well as get a fiber studio framed in and get the finishing touches on the greenhouses. Tasks on the farm are endless, so there are always things to do year round. Clearing brush, cutting wood, building fence, baling hay, sawing lumber, ...

Sheep are sheared and stay in the warmth of the barn now, so we need some volunteers to feed the sheep and make yourself friend sheep while you clean the barn to keep it nice for them. There can be some other extra task Beggi (the farmer) can ask you to do, but still, you'll have free time to enjoy hot spots and swimming pool! There is also a project with a former mussel factory. A part of it will be transformed in a kitchen, the tasks can be about painting, fixing, building and more. You can of course text even if you're available another time of the year, we need people around all year long ! Message us on WhatsApp or on HelpX. My WhatsApp number is above. Send me (Agathe, who runs the HelpX) a message (here, on WhatsApp or Instagram agathe_kermit).

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

(La description en français se trouve plus bas !) We are a small Buddhist community living in the forest close to Sainte-Julienne, Quebec. We have an organic fruit tree nursery, along with many other projects on our land: several fruit orchards, chickens and bees, growing our own vegetables and herbs and trying to be independent in many ways. The five people who are staying are: Ajan, Eric, Veronique, Natalie and Camille. Each of us have arrived here one by one, at first just interested in helping out in the place, and then as we found that this lifestyle was for us, deciding to stay for longer. For part of the year we also have a couple of employees staying with us. There is also a wonderful dog named Dali. Our organic nursery and garden occupies a land of 9 hectares, surrounded by forest. As well as the main land of the nursery, we have another smaller land where a few of us live. This is, in fact, where the community started to grow from very small beginnings in the early 2000s, ...

Hi there, and welcome to Christchurch, We have a charming, but largish, garden and an old weatherboard house and are giving them both some loving attention. We are interested in help - mostly with gardening and house maintenance, and some indoor housework - in exchange for food and board. We are keen to hear from someone looking for around a 3-7days stay. Happy to be flexible around hours (e.g. can be 4 hours work per day or 1 day on then 1 day off). We are friendly and welcoming, and both work from home for some of the time. Our house is close to the Christchurch CDB and the Port Hills, and is near 3 major city bus routes. Own comfortable room and fast WiFi available. We have one friendly Jack Russell terrier. We have both traveled and lived overseas, and enjoy meeting people from different countries. We look forward to being part of your NZ experience.

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. PLEASE NOTE WELL: we absolutely cannot host anyone with any pre-existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions), such as hay fever, any other allergies, sensitivities or intolerances. We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our do...

If you'd like to experience natural, simple living and see what it is like to start a life relying more on yourself than the consumer driven culture, and hear about the realities of "community living", then we may just be a match. We are a young family with four kids under 10, trying hard to transition into self sufficiency. We live off grid, on a bush block. It is a 15 minutes drive to town. A bus can be caught 2.4km away. Coonabarabran is Australia's astronomy capital. The observatory here allows space and planet enthusiasts to explore their interests. We produce our own goat's milk, eggs and have been enjoying tones of salad greens. Now its time for spring planting. My kids are homeschooled, don't eat or watch junk, not allowed tech devices, run and play with each other, help garden and clean up, my 5 year old chops wood, mills flour, my 8 year sews and weaves - and they love the lifestyle. If we watch a film, we discuss the subliminal messages. I spent summers in Russia on dac...

I am also close to Lake Cootharaba, which is a very popular sailing, swimming and boating haven. My 5 acre property is neighboured by National Parks providing picturesque hiking, wildlife and bird watching. I live on 5 acres in the bush but close to the wonderful communities of Boreen Point and Pomona. I have a few chooks and lots of bees which keep me busy.

Hi! Come and volunteer with me and all animals in Jämtland, between Åre-Östersund at a horse ranch. Here lives 21 horses, some dogs, cat and a lot of wild animals 🙂 I have spent a lot of time to rescue animals so some of the horses, dogs and cat at the ranch are rescues. I need help in daily chores at the ranch: grooming, cleaning, feeding, bring out water to the pastures, walking/cozy time with cat and dogs, fencing , everything having with a ranch to do. Real interest and experience with horses and dogs are needed. I provide lodging, pick up and leave at trainstation/airport-Östersund drive to a store once a week, some horse riding , bicycles, snowshoes, sparks , some dinner and fika together , bed linen, towels, laundry once a week etc. I don’t have any economic help or funds for all around the animals so I can not provide meals full time . I have got bad arthritis in my body so your help means a lot to me and the animals 💛 for the moment I also got a fracture in my right hand so...

Wonderful Retreat Hi and welcome to our Helpx profile. Come and stay at our warm cosy home in winter and cool in summer (wood fire and spa included and air conditioning in your room) and visit the lovely Hawkes Bay area. It’s a beautiful place with lots of wineries, walks, rivers and beaches to drive to. Beautiful Godsown brewery with wood fired pizza 5 minutes drive away. We have access to a swimming pool across the road from us in summer and a spa pool onsite. We are looking for people who can do gardening, cleaning. cooking, or child care or hopefully someone who can paint interior of house or build fences or gates or do fence painting. We welcome mature people (20+ years) who can work on their own and can clean up after themselves. We can accommodate one single person or one couple or friends happy to share a bed, or one sleep on the floor on a camping mattress. We are a family of three and have a 12 year old. We live in the country in Maraekakaho with river walks nearby...

I'm Thanasis, a 45 years old greek man living in the South of the Peloponnes. I'm a farmer, with oranges trees and some olive trees. I need help all the year to maintain the big farm (orange and olive harvest, trees pruning, pick-up fallen oranges, and so on..) If you come, you will have your own room (1 for a couple or separate), and access to all the rest of the house (kitchen, bathroom...). I like to share the meal, and provide food if you want to cook. You also can use WI-FI connection. You could enjoy the life between the farm and the city of Skala Lakonia, wich offer a lot of coffee shop, restaurants, and any kind of stores. Minimum stay is 2 weeks, to allow time to learn about life on the farm. I need help for a maximum of 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, depending on the weather. I really like to meet new people and introduce them to Greece history. I practice karaté (three times per week) and would be happy to show you basis if you are interested. If you want to discover...
