Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

Hi, we are currently not needing any helpers until 2027. 🙏 I am a self-employed ARTIST in a very colourful home. I have 1 dog and 2 lovely human housemates. EXPECTATIONS Enthusiastic, trustworthy English-speaking helpers who enjoy a laugh, are practical and can work INDEPENDENTLY. There are several varied DIY projects on the go. Most of the work is outside, you need to be physically fit and prepared for manual labour. I look forward to hearing from travellers who can help with limited instructions, unsupervised and have a passion for gardening, fence repair, building and DIY projects. Do you know how to use a drill, a drop saw, a sander and an angle grinder? Garden maintenance duties include but not limited to: use a whipper snipper to tidy garden edges; rake leaves; hand weed, digging, collecting fallen branches and sticks off the ground. Gather fire wood, cut and stack. Help burn garden waste. Plant new or potted plants, spread mulch on garden beds. Helping around the house and o...

The kikuyu grass is going crazy around the young trees in my orchard, choking them, and I currently cannot get down to ground level to clear it because my knees are in a tantrum. Would really appreciate help with that. Also decided to build individual wind shelter for the most affected fruit trees, this requires some strength and I am struggling with it - much to my dismay. 10 years ago I had no problems with that kind of thing :-( We have one spare bedroom with en-suite - so it's one visitor, or a couple who are comfortable sharing a queen sized bed. Love gourmet food, international cuisine, we're omnivorous, we host a boardgame group that meets fortnightly, Suze is into all kinds of fibre arts and crafts, and is happy to spend time and teach. She's also involved with the local Rock and Gemstone Club. Peter does 'fine' Woodwork when he feels like it. He used to teach German as a Second Language a long time ago, but can help with phonetics and English vocabulary and pron...

Our busy family lives in Waipara, North Canterbury. 1 hour drive from Christchurch, 1 ½ hour from Kaikoura and 45 mins from Hanmer. Having a car would be helpful. We’d love some help both inside our home and outside in our large organic vegetable garden and around our yard. Work would include gardening - lawn mowing, shifting compost, weeding and general outdoor work. General housework and cooking - if you love to cook. Things to do in the area: Wine tasting, cycle tracks, vintage steam train, river and beach walks. Waipara river is well known for its fossils and Leigh is a keen amateur Paleontologist. There is a large man-made swimming hole in the riverbed (although it's not always full). **NO SMOKERS PLEASE**.

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...

Countryside, near Atlántida, Uruguay. We’re a mature couple who work in the city and live on a small farm - a peaceful retreat from the urban rush. Our companions are a few horses and dogs. Most of them came to us from the rescued shelter and in poor condition. With time, care, and patience, we’ve helped them heal. Our farm isn’t a commercial venture; it’s simply a quiet, cozy place to live close to nature. We’re looking for a reliable helper - someone who’s interested in staying with us long-term. What we offer: - Private accommodation in a converted sea container, fully equipped with a gas stove, shower, refrigerator, and other essentials. - Groceries provided - you prepare your own meals. - Free internet access (limited). We can also offer guidance and support with the residency application process for those who wish to stay long-term. If you’re over 25, love animals, enjoy farm life, and consider yourself hardworking, responsible, and adaptable - we’d be happy to welcome you. ...

(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, ...

We are 10 minutes from Byron and we can see the famous Byron lighthouse from our front balcony. We love hosting Help X guests. We also need help in managing a 6000 sq meter block with a garden that needs a lot of work and a big house that needs cleaning. Our house has views and a pool and spa as well as a media room, all of which, we share with you. If you are over 25, we may be able to lend you a small Toyota Yaris which is registered for free Byron Bay parking in most places. You can use it for short trips into Byron and but you will need to work out how to share the car and petrol costs if we have several helpers staying. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover younger drivers and without a car, you may find us too isolated as there is no public transport. We ask for 20 hours of work a week not counting cleaning up after meals and when you are leaving, cleaning the studio or your room. You can either work whenever you choose and record your hours each day or wo...

Openings for fall .... Wow, exploring right outside our backdoor along side the Campbell River on Vancouver Island, is a beautiful place to experience Vancouver Island`s great outdoors this FALL with all the wild life right in our back yard :) Although we live on a one acre town lot, our back yard is situated on a cliff over looking an accessible beautiful heritage river, with a nature park setting of ferns, Douglas fir, maple and alder trees. You can often see deer, raccoons, bears and the silver backs of salmon and Steelhead fish jumping in the ebb and flow of the river’s pools. We have trail access to the river below, where you can enjoy listening to the sing song of many birds, tubing down the river/swimming in the heat of the summer, and trying your hand at casting for Steelhead fish. As well, our neighborhood is the access point to many scenic nature hiking, walking and biking trails. The ocean photo was taken a couple of miles from my home and all other photos are of my house...

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

EXPECTATIONS Enthusiastic, trustworthy English-speaking helpers who enjoy a laugh, are practical and can work INDEPENDENTLY. There are several varied DIY projects on the go.

The kikuyu grass is going crazy around the young trees in my orchard, choking them, and I currently cannot get down to ground level to clear it because my knees are in a tantrum. Would really appreciate help with that. Also decided to build individual wind shelter for the most affected fruit trees, this requires some strength and I am struggling with it - much to my dismay. 10 years ago I had no problems with that kind of thing :-( We have one spare bedroom with en-suite - so it's one visitor, or a couple who are comfortable sharing a queen sized bed. Love gourmet food, international cuisine, we're omnivorous, we host a boardgame group that meets fortnightly, Suze is into all kinds of fibre arts and crafts, and is happy to spend time and teach. She's also involved with the local Rock and Gemstone Club. Peter does 'fine' Woodwork when he feels like it.

I live in a Log cabin on one acre a short walk from the beach. It is a small town surrounded by beaches and at the start of the great barrier reef. There are 23 islands within 30 minutes boat ride. My cabin is large with a chilled atmosphere, heaps of music, a camp fire area and a bar outside as well as inside. Painting, general gardening, tree planting and housework is mostly required. Accommodation is in a comfortably caravan with double bed.. Our life style is pretty chilled which includes travel, bbq's, music, kitesurfing and fishing. Depending on what help I need,I would expect 3-4 hours per day for 3 days per week. I will provide breakfast, tea and coffee and share input to main meals and encourage sharing traditional dishes, help show you around this awesome part of Australia. We are 2 km out of town, beach and bus stop (20 min walk) Please advise in your message if you have a car so I know that you have read my profile and if I need to give directions or pick you up.

Our busy family lives in Waipara, North Canterbury. 1 hour drive from Christchurch, 1 ½ hour from Kaikoura and 45 mins from Hanmer. Having a car would be helpful. We’d love some help both inside our home and outside in our large organic vegetable garden and around our yard. Work would include gardening - lawn mowing, shifting compost, weeding and general outdoor work. General housework and cooking - if you love to cook. Things to do in the area: Wine tasting, cycle tracks, vintage steam train, river and beach walks. Waipara river is well known for its fossils and Leigh is a keen amateur Paleontologist. There is a large man-made swimming hole in the riverbed (although it's not always full). **NO SMOKERS PLEASE**.

We are a family of four living on a lifestyle block in the beautiful Wairarapa, with the entrance to the Tararua Forest park just up the road. There you will find some great tramping, walking, mountain biking and a cool swing bridge across the river and a great swimming hole during summer. On our block we have a small herd of cattle, some sheep, a lamb and a pony along side many birds living in the local landscape. We are presently looking for helpers for painting, gardening and looking after animals. We ask for an average of three hours of work a day in exchange for food and accommodation. The accommodation best suits a couple. We are 15 mins drive from Greytown and Carterton. Non-smokers only please. Please let us know if you have any special food requirements or allergies which might need to be considered during your stay.

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...

Countryside, near Atlántida, Uruguay. We’re a mature couple who work in the city and live on a small farm - a peaceful retreat from the urban rush. Our companions are a few horses and dogs. Most of them came to us from the rescued shelter and in poor condition. With time, care, and patience, we’ve helped them heal. Our farm isn’t a commercial venture; it’s simply a quiet, cozy place to live close to nature. We’re looking for a reliable helper - someone who’s interested in staying with us long-term. What we offer: - Private accommodation in a converted sea container, fully equipped with a gas stove, shower, refrigerator, and other essentials. - Groceries provided - you prepare your own meals. - Free internet access (limited). We can also offer guidance and support with the residency application process for those who wish to stay long-term. If you’re over 25, love animals, enjoy farm life, and consider yourself hardworking, responsible, and adaptable - we’d be happy to welcome you. ...

(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, ...

We are 10 minutes from Byron and we can see the famous Byron lighthouse from our front balcony. We love hosting Help X guests. We also need help in managing a 6000 sq meter block with a garden that needs a lot of work and a big house that needs cleaning. Our house has views and a pool and spa as well as a media room, all of which, we share with you. If you are over 25, we may be able to lend you a small Toyota Yaris which is registered for free Byron Bay parking in most places. You can use it for short trips into Byron and but you will need to work out how to share the car and petrol costs if we have several helpers staying. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover younger drivers and without a car, you may find us too isolated as there is no public transport. We ask for 20 hours of work a week not counting cleaning up after meals and when you are leaving, cleaning the studio or your room. You can either work whenever you choose and record your hours each day or wo...

Set in a hidden valley of the Illawarra Escarpment, this 1 acre oasis is on a journey from forgotten, overgrown weed-land to Permaculture wonderland! We have been practising various aspects of sustainability for over 15 years including Permaculture gardening, sustainable building and creating community. Sarah has a deep level of knowledge about market gardening, soil building and organic food & is a qualified Permaculture teacher. Ben is skilled at building with recycled, reclaimed and natural materials, tending fruit trees and teaching ecology & sustainability. The property is located about 5 minutes bike ride from lovely beaches and 5 minutes walk from local shops and access to buses into Wollongong. It`s also only 1.5hrs from Sydney by train. The current workload involves a range of gardening tasks, forestry care, some construction projects, work in the creek area, general maintenance of the property and the never ending task of trying to clean the place up! We`re looking for hel...

Openings for fall .... Wow, exploring right outside our backdoor along side the Campbell River on Vancouver Island, is a beautiful place to experience Vancouver Island`s great outdoors this FALL with all the wild life right in our back yard :) Although we live on a one acre town lot, our back yard is situated on a cliff over looking an accessible beautiful heritage river, with a nature park setting of ferns, Douglas fir, maple and alder trees. You can often see deer, raccoons, bears and the silver backs of salmon and Steelhead fish jumping in the ebb and flow of the river’s pools. We have trail access to the river below, where you can enjoy listening to the sing song of many birds, tubing down the river/swimming in the heat of the summer, and trying your hand at casting for Steelhead fish. As well, our neighborhood is the access point to many scenic nature hiking, walking and biking trails. The ocean photo was taken a couple of miles from my home and all other photos are of my house...

Our small farm (https://little-farm.com.au) sits in Northern Victoria, where we grow fruit and vegetables, plant trees, and learn as we go. Tim, a retired engineer, is always building or fixing something. Beth is a teacher and health practitioner who also teaches at university. She tends a rose garden of over 400 fragrant bushes. Early mornings here smell incredible. The property includes an organic vegetable garden, orchard, berries, herbs, and a music room with a baby grand piano. If you play, bring your instrument. We’re close to the Murray River. Big skies, glowing sunrises and sunsets, and rich birdlife surround us. Magpies are part of daily life here, in sound and in art across the farm. Nights are clear and full of stars. Many people arrive tired and leave feeling genuinely restored. What we’re looking for Willing, reliable help Someone who takes initiative and keeps shared spaces tidy A careful learner who asks when unsure You’ll be guided at first, then work more indepen...

*** Please… Only contact us if you are a couple (male/female), as there is only one queen-size bed available. *** HELLO lovely people!! ... and thank you for taking the time to visit our profile. We hope you will consider staying with us in our beautiful piece of paradise! Esperance is between Albany WA and Adelaide SA. Having your own vehicle is ideal for getting around. We have joined HelpX as much for learning about other people's culture as well as for the help around the property. We are on a selectively cleared block, within easy walking distance to town. Our property has organic/permaculture gardens and fruit trees scattered throughout. (We are grateful if you can help us with the upkeep of this!) We also have a few beehives in the Esperance region that we collect honey from. Our house and property is powered by solar panels, a wind turbine and a generator using biodiesel that we produce ourselves. We are truly eco as we are not connected to the grid! We enjoy hosting...
