This is a historic country homestead set in rural Central Hawke’s Bay, on Porangahau Road, surrounded by gardens, mature trees, open farmland, birdsong and big skies. Built in 1853 by the Ormond family, Wallingford is one of Hawke’s Bay’s oldest homesteads and has a wonderfully peaceful, tucked-away feeling — the sort of place where guests arrive down the driveway, exhale, and settle into country life. The homestead is run by Chris and Jeanette Stockdale, former Sydney restaurateurs who swapped city restaurant life for the joy of creating warm, generous hospitality in the country. Chris is an experienced chef with a deep love of seasonal, garden-led and locally sourced food, while Jeanette brings warmth, humour and genuine care to the front of house. Together, they create an experience that is relaxed, welcoming and full of heart. Our homestead has been described by one guest as “possibly the most welcoming place in the world,” which beautifully captures the spirit of the homestead. ...

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

We have an automotive country workshop, which we have closed down to retire and now we are about to tidy up and empty our. 32 years of bits and pieces - and memories. But we still look after our little farm, some sheep and some rabbits. We are always in need of a couple of helpful hands to support us during this time of dismantling and clearing out. A mature, non-smoking, self-organized person or couple, preferable not a vegetarian, to give us a hand with house and workshop tidy up, would be the best fit. Our daily routine starts with a breakfast at around 7.30am and then we feed all the animals, especially the hungry dogs and work starts at 8.30am. We expect about 4 hours work per day and we offer a nice room with a lovely warm bed, great meals, and a reasonable amount of WiFi. Help with dishes is not regarded as work though! We do enjoy a beer or a wine after work, but we have a NO DRUGS policy. We integrate our helpers like a family member and mostly have only one or a couple...

We are offering travelers a warm, comfortable two-story Celery Top Pine Pole home we built ourself. You will enjoy magical views of the ocean and mountain and will wake to the sounds of the wild birds that flock to our food and water bowls. We are regularly visited by possums, wallaby's and various other wildlife. If you're lucky you may even see a Tasmanian Devil. We aspire to a sustainable way of living and adore our large established organic garden, which we are needing help with maintaining. We ask helpers to provide a minimum of 4.5 hrs of work each day for 5 days with two full days off. If you would like a day off after working a few days we ask you to make up the hours on other days. Some helpers also purchase their own food and only work 2.5 hours a day if this suits you better. We are also very flexible and happy to listen to your requests. Previous gardening experience is essential as well as cooking/helping with evening meals, household duties, and other jobs as required...

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...

Cairns is a gorgeous please to visit, and this is an especially good this time of year as the warmth brings lots of friendly visitors to our city. Our home fits with the Cairns life in that it`s relaxed, easy-going and very welcoming. We are a self-employed couple living just 5 mins from the city looking for some help with our home. We are looking for helpers for general housekeeping and garden maintenance in exchange for accommodation. We are seeking helpers for garden cleanup, household cleaning and tidying for 2 - 3 hours work per day. You will live in a bedroom in our home, with a king sized bed.

Please message us through this platform to allow us to view your profile The property is located 60km South of Brisbane and 20km West of the Gold Coast on the upper North slope of Mt Tamborine, 320m above sea level.

Situated on the edge of the Great Divide, we are surrounded by great views, Kangaroos, Wombats, Echidna and numerous bird species including wedge tail eagles, Rosella's and Kookaburras. Just an hour from Melbourne [less from the airport] we can arrange pick up. Our farm has Highland Cattle, Chooks and a large Vegie garden/orchard. While we have no urgent work requirements and the farm is only our hobby [we are semi retired ] there is always something to do, however we have no paid employment available and cannot add points for visa extension. We have a spare room with double bed or we can accommodate 2 x singles as well. The nearest public transport is 15 minute drive and we can drop people of most days as we go past the station nearly every day. Our current projects are house painting, wood cutting and gardening.

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

We are near the Shoalwater Marine Park and Penguin Island 40mins from Perth city centre. Very close to public transport, cafes and library. Ideal for beach walking, diving, swimming, cycling, fishing, sailing and windsurfing (beach is 60 metres away). Accommodation would take form of a fully insulated cute tiny garden room with access to undercover cooking area and bathroom. IT is small so please See photos. On week days we are usually working in Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. When possible we can take turns for meals if possible. We average 2/3 hours a day painting, plumbing gardening and other repairs and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week.Greg is usually available to help you with your car or take you fishing, boating or sightseeing if you’re willing to free him up from his other commitments. When you email please let us know when you plan to get to Per...

I am looking for two helpers for 7-10 days in the first half of October. Warm greetings from rural Byron Shire. I have hosted helpers regularly to help me to clear and tidy my sloping one hectare garden, which continues growing vigorously, and with other necessary maintenance tasks around my home. I would welcome a couple or two friends to work with me for a week or more from about 7 October. No particular experience is necessary, but any practical skills might be useful, and reasonable fitness is needed. Carpentry skills would be particularly welcome as I am doing some renovations. I’m happy to share my own skills with willing helpers and will be working with you. Three to four hours of work per day in return for plentiful food and drink, and your own comfortable accommodation in my guest bedroom(s). I live in the Byron Bay hinterland, with my dog Rosie, in quiet country with ocean views and sightings of numerous wildlife. I come from England but have settled in Australia for th...

join me here, surrounded by 400 acres of old growth forested park land (the bottom end of denman). Miles of remote beaches, where you will see whales, sea lions eagles and all the clams and oysters you can eat. This house was built in Victoria in 1950 and moved to its present location in 1992 by myself and some fine friends. It is the primary residence on the property but still needs the love and attention of skilled and semi skilled artisans in the fields of carpentry, finishing,and hundreds(thousands?) of small details... We have recently added one llama, two sheep, three pigs and ten muscovy ducks to the family, we are now constructing fences and a barn for future livestock. Now have a sweet little caravan for exploring Vancouver island.Lots of bicycles, and great trails! Hoping to find travelers who would be interested in helping to renovate, and make comfortable a 1947 aluminum bus and a 1964 barth aluminum trailer for more private accommodation. For more info see my blog lin...

Kia ora! We are Kev and Mush from Manapouri; a kiwi couple in our 40/50's. We have a unique lifestyle block located on the edge of Fiordland National Park, backing onto the township of Manapouri. We are fully off grid with all the mod cons. We offer private self-contained accommodation in our tiny houses on the 8ha property. The tiny house is fully self-contained with solar power, fridge, shower, gas oven / stovetop for all your cooking needs, lazy boy sofas and a cute wee fireplace. The flushing toilet is a separate building. Note: no internet available at the tiny house. We are looking to host folk who are happy to undertake various (mainly outdoor) tasks, including weed control, planting, washing windows, pest control, painting, odd jobs etc. Accommodation for ~3hours work (with the odd meal together to get to know each other and catch up). It's an outstanding location to get out and explore Fiordland from. We are happy to help you plan for your adventures within the area (and a...

Jambo Fellow Adventurers! I’m looking for 1–2 enthusiastic helpers to join me at my peaceful, tree-filled property in Te Awanga — a charming beach community in Hawke’s Bay, just 20km from Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North. The area has plenty to enjoy: surfing, swimming, beach walks at low tide, fishing, vineyard tours, and scenic trails. A great base for exploring! What I need from you: Up to 5 hours of help per day, 6 days a week (with flexibility by agreement), covering garden maintenance, general cleaning, painting and helping with evening meal prep and cleanup. We’ll work together on some tasks, so those hours are fixed — the rest is up to you. What I offer in return: • Comfortable, private accommodation for a single person, couple, or pair of friends • Lunch and evening meals on working days • A relaxed, tranquil place to call home for a while I’d also love for you to bring a favourite recipe from your home country to cook and share — I’ll cover the ingredients! I provide b...

*** We haven't had any helpers for a few years as our house has been busy growing teenagers! We're currently looking for 1-2 fun, motivated people for a short term stay to help with house cleaning and gardening… We have four children that have all grown up and spread their wings so now we’re empty-nesters living on our large goat breeding property in outback New South Wales. We’ve just finished building a new house and I need help to clean it up and move back in - probably just a couple of weeks work, 4-5 hours per day. In exchange we offer you the chance to enjoy our beautiful lifestyle... A wonderful place for bush walking and we have plenty of kangaroos, emus and bird life for you to photograph. The sunrise and sunsets are huge and beautiful.... AND i guarantee you'll see more stars in one night, than you have seen in your whole life!! We can accommodate a single person or a couple. A great way to experience the true outback life - The jobs wont all be fun but the lifestyle d...

G`day guys & girls . If you want Some good Aussie hospitality, come and stay with us. The volunteer work here counts for the 88 days for your visa as this area was subject to big flooding. We are living on a 200 hectare farm in Rollands Plains. Located on the mid north coast, surrounded by hills and valleys, great for bushwalking and exploring if that's what you`re into. We are predominantly an arable farm growing a large amount of garlic. Seasonally, we also grow egg plant, rhubarb, ginger, turmeric, pumpkin, yukon, artichoke, cucumber and corn, and whatever else we can put in the ground. All of our grown produce is certified organic. We do not use any sprays or pesticides. We also keep livestock. A herd of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats as well as chickens, ducks and guinea fowl. If you are interested in bees, we have some and produce our own honey. Our farm has a large dam which is great for swimming and fishing. There a large fresh water river close that is also great fo...

Hello there! We live on a farm in the beautiful Waikato. There is often a hand needed with making fire wood, feeding calves and stock, gardening, house cleaning, horses and other farm work. In exchange you live with us in the family (food included) and get to know kiwi culture. We have glow worms on the farm too. We look forward to see you! Cheers

Welcome! Our family owned and operated certified organic livestock farm in North Central British Columbia is excited to have you stay and become a part of everything we have going on. We’ve been operating since 2008, primarily raising Berkshire pigs, Dexter cattle, Katahdin sheep, laying hens, broiler chickens and of course bronze breasted turkeys for thanksgiving and Christmas. On top of that, we’re home to two Labrador retrievers (Ned and Nelly), 3 outdoor cats, and a family of Muscovy ducks. In other words, you will never find yourself not in the company of animals! Aside from livestock, we have recently built a small farm store / café that cooks the meat raised on the farm. We also take pride in creating all recipes from scratch, from the sauces to the buns of the burgers. Currently only operating during the summer months, 3 days per week. It’s been a lot of work, but a great way to get more people out to the farm, eating good food and connecting with the community. We also proce...

I live in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula on my families farm which is 84 hectares. We have dry stock on what was a dairy farm and also have kiwifruit but I am not really involved with those. I live on a large section in what was my childhood home. I currently have two Airbnb listings. One inside the home and the other in a caravan which is out the back of the section and private - I would envisage this as being your accommodation - (most of the photos on this listing show the caravan and surrounding area). The outlook from the property is stunning and overlooks the Pinnacles which is part of the Coromandel ranges. There are white sandy beaches close by and an abundance of outdoor activities to explore. The property is in between Pauanui and Tairua and I am quite close to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. I work full time as the bar manager of the Pauanui Club so don't have a great deal of time to do everything that needs doing around my home and grounds. I am a very keen gardener...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, ideally three weeks minimum, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are preferred. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and explore locally. At present we are looking at availability from the late October/early November and onward through the summer. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountain...

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...

Great Mackerel Beach is a magical place in Sydney. A small and peaceful community with lots of wildlife; expect to see wallabies and plenty of local birds. If you have seen the television series 'Home and Away' then you will recognise 'Summer Bay' across the water. A safe beach is only metres from the door. The view from the house is stunning as we look across to Barrenjoey Lighthouse and Palm Beach. We would prefer 2 helpers or a couple that can stay for at least a week mainly doing gardening, but some domestic cleaning and general maintenance. Experience working in bush regeneration, stone work or landscaping would be fabulous. We would like the equivalent of 5 hours/day 5 days/week but are flexible with when you work as long as the times are mutually agreed in advance. Most of the work is outdoors gardening on our steep block by the sea. We would prefer strong helpers with farming or agricultural experience. You can enjoy time off exploring nature. We can offer swimming, fishing, ...

My farm boarders the Paparoa National Park and only a few minutes walk to fantastic beaches. The spectacular Nile valley caves are only 5 minutes away. I prefer one person at a time, although will consider two and at least 1 weeks stay. I would like to have plenty of notice before you arrive. You must be Gay friendly.

UPDATE *seeking helpers for spring* Kia ora! We live in a beautiful rural home 10 minutes away from Ngāmotu/New Plymouth - 2 minutes away from amazing surf village Oakura in Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand. We could use extra hands for weeding, mulching, lawnmowing, trimming, general garden tidying up, maybe building chicken coop and raised beds, etc.! In return we offer our spacious comfortable guest room (shared toilet/shower). We are a couple 39F and 44M from Chile and the UK, respectively. We've both traveled extensively and love meeting people and learning about new cultures. Only condition is must like dogs, as we have an extremely cuddly collie retriever called Eddie that loves people and will most definitely approach you for pats/cuddles. Cheers!

Kia ora! We are a community of people rescuing and rehabilitating ex-farm animals. We also work with wildlife and birds. We are looking for people, either single or couples, to come and join us for a minimum of 6 weeks. If you are the right fit there might be a more longer term place for you. Please only apply if you are vegetarian or vegan (you would be expected to eat vegan whilst at the sanctuary). We are hoping to find people who shares our commitment to animals and the environment and who we can connect with ethically. Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans/Queer+ friendly is essential. We have a lot of inquiries, so a priority is always given to activists and people with passion around the environment, human rights, animal rights and other social concerns. We consider ourselves feminists and anarchists. If you are a cis male person please only apply if you share these values. To finance the Sanctuary, we run 3 op-shops. As part of your volunteering with us you might occasionally be asked to he...

This is very much paradise. With goats, sheep, chickens and dogs there is always a something going on. It is a lifestyle property where chilling out is on the top of the list. We are located half way between Albany and Denmark and 5 minutes from the beach. There is surfing, fishing, hiking and bike riding. With great surf beaches, the Bibbulmun track, the Munda Biddy track and Cape Howe National Park right on our door step. Our place is a work in progress so always something to do. Perfect if you have a camper van. We do have a camper trailer that we can set up if needed. Own transport recommended. During the school term I travel in and out of Albany for work and happy to take you in for adventuring town. Happy for an hour or 2 each day of general gardening in return for a safe place to stay. Happy to discuss how we can help with your Australian adventure. Our home is like getting a big hug from the trees.

This is a historic country homestead set in rural Central Hawke’s Bay, on Porangahau Road, surrounded by gardens, mature trees, open farmland, birdsong and big skies. Built in 1853 by the Ormond family, Wallingford is one of Hawke’s Bay’s oldest homesteads and has a wonderfully peaceful, tucked-away feeling — the sort of place where guests arrive down the driveway, exhale, and settle into country life. The homestead is run by Chris and Jeanette Stockdale, former Sydney restaurateurs who swapped city restaurant life for the joy of creating warm, generous hospitality in the country. Chris is an experienced chef with a deep love of seasonal, garden-led and locally sourced food, while Jeanette brings warmth, humour and genuine care to the front of house. Together, they create an experience that is relaxed, welcoming and full of heart. Our homestead has been described by one guest as “possibly the most welcoming place in the world,” which beautifully captures the spirit of the homestead. ...

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

We have an automotive country workshop, which we have closed down to retire and now we are about to tidy up and empty our. 32 years of bits and pieces - and memories. But we still look after our little farm, some sheep and some rabbits. We are always in need of a couple of helpful hands to support us during this time of dismantling and clearing out. A mature, non-smoking, self-organized person or couple, preferable not a vegetarian, to give us a hand with house and workshop tidy up, would be the best fit. Our daily routine starts with a breakfast at around 7.30am and then we feed all the animals, especially the hungry dogs and work starts at 8.30am. We expect about 4 hours work per day and we offer a nice room with a lovely warm bed, great meals, and a reasonable amount of WiFi. Help with dishes is not regarded as work though! We do enjoy a beer or a wine after work, but we have a NO DRUGS policy. We integrate our helpers like a family member and mostly have only one or a couple...

We are offering travelers a warm, comfortable two-story Celery Top Pine Pole home we built ourself. You will enjoy magical views of the ocean and mountain and will wake to the sounds of the wild birds that flock to our food and water bowls. We are regularly visited by possums, wallaby's and various other wildlife. If you're lucky you may even see a Tasmanian Devil. We aspire to a sustainable way of living and adore our large established organic garden, which we are needing help with maintaining. We ask helpers to provide a minimum of 4.5 hrs of work each day for 5 days with two full days off. If you would like a day off after working a few days we ask you to make up the hours on other days. Some helpers also purchase their own food and only work 2.5 hours a day if this suits you better. We are also very flexible and happy to listen to your requests. Previous gardening experience is essential as well as cooking/helping with evening meals, household duties, and other jobs as required...

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...

Cairns is a gorgeous please to visit, and this is an especially good this time of year as the warmth brings lots of friendly visitors to our city. Our home fits with the Cairns life in that it`s relaxed, easy-going and very welcoming. We are a self-employed couple living just 5 mins from the city looking for some help with our home. We are looking for helpers for general housekeeping and garden maintenance in exchange for accommodation. We are seeking helpers for garden cleanup, household cleaning and tidying for 2 - 3 hours work per day. You will live in a bedroom in our home, with a king sized bed. Our home is what is called a "Queenslander", which has a distinctive style. We provide everything you would be used to at home; kitchen, wifi Internet, linen etc. It's just like sharing a house with friends. We have plenty of room for a couple. Our house also has a BIG pool.

This is very much a cultural exchange (for us and for you) as you will be in our family home sharing our lifestyle. NO SMOKERS OR VEGETARIANS PLEASE. We prefer our helpers to stay 2 weeks or more.

Please message us through this platform to allow us to view your profile The property is located 60km South of Brisbane and 20km West of the Gold Coast on the upper North slope of Mt Tamborine, 320m above sea level.

Situated on the edge of the Great Divide, we are surrounded by great views, Kangaroos, Wombats, Echidna and numerous bird species including wedge tail eagles, Rosella's and Kookaburras. Just an hour from Melbourne [less from the airport] we can arrange pick up. Our farm has Highland Cattle, Chooks and a large Vegie garden/orchard. While we have no urgent work requirements and the farm is only our hobby [we are semi retired ] there is always something to do, however we have no paid employment available and cannot add points for visa extension. We have a spare room with double bed or we can accommodate 2 x singles as well. The nearest public transport is 15 minute drive and we can drop people of most days as we go past the station nearly every day. Our current projects are house painting, wood cutting and gardening.

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

We are near the Shoalwater Marine Park and Penguin Island 40mins from Perth city centre. Very close to public transport, cafes and library. Ideal for beach walking, diving, swimming, cycling, fishing, sailing and windsurfing (beach is 60 metres away). Accommodation would take form of a fully insulated cute tiny garden room with access to undercover cooking area and bathroom. IT is small so please See photos. On week days we are usually working in Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. When possible we can take turns for meals if possible. We average 2/3 hours a day painting, plumbing gardening and other repairs and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week.Greg is usually available to help you with your car or take you fishing, boating or sightseeing if you’re willing to free him up from his other commitments. When you email please let us know when you plan to get to Per...

I am looking for two helpers for 7-10 days in the first half of October. Warm greetings from rural Byron Shire. I have hosted helpers regularly to help me to clear and tidy my sloping one hectare garden, which continues growing vigorously, and with other necessary maintenance tasks around my home. I would welcome a couple or two friends to work with me for a week or more from about 7 October. No particular experience is necessary, but any practical skills might be useful, and reasonable fitness is needed. Carpentry skills would be particularly welcome as I am doing some renovations. I’m happy to share my own skills with willing helpers and will be working with you. Three to four hours of work per day in return for plentiful food and drink, and your own comfortable accommodation in my guest bedroom(s). I live in the Byron Bay hinterland, with my dog Rosie, in quiet country with ocean views and sightings of numerous wildlife. I come from England but have settled in Australia for th...

join me here, surrounded by 400 acres of old growth forested park land (the bottom end of denman). Miles of remote beaches, where you will see whales, sea lions eagles and all the clams and oysters you can eat. This house was built in Victoria in 1950 and moved to its present location in 1992 by myself and some fine friends. It is the primary residence on the property but still needs the love and attention of skilled and semi skilled artisans in the fields of carpentry, finishing,and hundreds(thousands?) of small details... We have recently added one llama, two sheep, three pigs and ten muscovy ducks to the family, we are now constructing fences and a barn for future livestock. Now have a sweet little caravan for exploring Vancouver island.Lots of bicycles, and great trails! Hoping to find travelers who would be interested in helping to renovate, and make comfortable a 1947 aluminum bus and a 1964 barth aluminum trailer for more private accommodation.

Jambo Fellow Adventurers! I’m looking for 1–2 enthusiastic helpers to join me at my peaceful, tree-filled property in Te Awanga — a charming beach community in Hawke’s Bay, just 20km from Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North. The area has plenty to enjoy: surfing, swimming, beach walks at low tide, fishing, vineyard tours, and scenic trails. A great base for exploring! What I need from you: Up to 5 hours of help per day, 6 days a week (with flexibility by agreement), covering garden maintenance, general cleaning, painting and helping with evening meal prep and cleanup. We’ll work together on some tasks, so those hours are fixed — the rest is up to you. What I offer in return: • Comfortable, private accommodation for a single person, couple, or pair of friends • Lunch and evening meals on working days • A relaxed, tranquil place to call home for a while I’d also love for you to bring a favourite recipe from your home country to cook and share — I’ll cover the ingredients! I provide b...

*** We haven't had any helpers for a few years as our house has been busy growing teenagers! We're currently looking for 1-2 fun, motivated people for a short term stay to help with house cleaning and gardening… We have four children that have all grown up and spread their wings so now we’re empty-nesters living on our large goat breeding property in outback New South Wales. We’ve just finished building a new house and I need help to clean it up and move back in - probably just a couple of weeks work, 4-5 hours per day. In exchange we offer you the chance to enjoy our beautiful lifestyle... A wonderful place for bush walking and we have plenty of kangaroos, emus and bird life for you to photograph. The sunrise and sunsets are huge and beautiful.... AND i guarantee you'll see more stars in one night, than you have seen in your whole life!! We can accommodate a single person or a couple. A great way to experience the true outback life - The jobs wont all be fun but the lifestyle d...

Welcome! Our family owned and operated certified organic livestock farm in North Central British Columbia is excited to have you stay and become a part of everything we have going on. We’ve been operating since 2008, primarily raising Berkshire pigs, Dexter cattle, Katahdin sheep, laying hens, broiler chickens and of course bronze breasted turkeys for thanksgiving and Christmas. On top of that, we’re home to two Labrador retrievers (Ned and Nelly), 3 outdoor cats, and a family of Muscovy ducks. In other words, you will never find yourself not in the company of animals! Aside from livestock, we have recently built a small farm store / café that cooks the meat raised on the farm. We also take pride in creating all recipes from scratch, from the sauces to the buns of the burgers. Currently only operating during the summer months, 3 days per week. It’s been a lot of work, but a great way to get more people out to the farm, eating good food and connecting with the community. We also proce...

I live in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula on my families farm which is 84 hectares. We have dry stock on what was a dairy farm and also have kiwifruit but I am not really involved with those. I live on a large section in what was my childhood home. I currently have two Airbnb listings. One inside the home and the other in a caravan which is out the back of the section and private - I would envisage this as being your accommodation - (most of the photos on this listing show the caravan and surrounding area). The outlook from the property is stunning and overlooks the Pinnacles which is part of the Coromandel ranges. There are white sandy beaches close by and an abundance of outdoor activities to explore. The property is in between Pauanui and Tairua and I am quite close to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. I work full time as the bar manager of the Pauanui Club so don't have a great deal of time to do everything that needs doing around my home and grounds. I am a very keen gardener...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, ideally three weeks minimum, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are preferred. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and explore locally. At present we are looking at availability from the late October/early November and onward through the summer. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountain...

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...

Great Mackerel Beach is a magical place in Sydney. A small and peaceful community with lots of wildlife; expect to see wallabies and plenty of local birds. If you have seen the television series 'Home and Away' then you will recognise 'Summer Bay' across the water. A safe beach is only metres from the door. The view from the house is stunning as we look across to Barrenjoey Lighthouse and Palm Beach. We would prefer 2 helpers or a couple that can stay for at least a week mainly doing gardening, but some domestic cleaning and general maintenance. Experience working in bush regeneration, stone work or landscaping would be fabulous. We would like the equivalent of 5 hours/day 5 days/week but are flexible with when you work as long as the times are mutually agreed in advance. Most of the work is outdoors gardening on our steep block by the sea. We would prefer strong helpers with farming or agricultural experience. You can enjoy time off exploring nature. We can offer swimming, fishing, ...

My farm boarders the Paparoa National Park and only a few minutes walk to fantastic beaches. The spectacular Nile valley caves are only 5 minutes away. I prefer one person at a time, although will consider two and at least 1 weeks stay. I would like to have plenty of notice before you arrive. You must be Gay friendly.

UPDATE *seeking helpers for spring* Kia ora! We live in a beautiful rural home 10 minutes away from Ngāmotu/New Plymouth - 2 minutes away from amazing surf village Oakura in Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand. We could use extra hands for weeding, mulching, lawnmowing, trimming, general garden tidying up, maybe building chicken coop and raised beds, etc.! In return we offer our spacious comfortable guest room (shared toilet/shower). We are a couple 39F and 44M from Chile and the UK, respectively. We've both traveled extensively and love meeting people and learning about new cultures. Only condition is must like dogs, as we have an extremely cuddly collie retriever called Eddie that loves people and will most definitely approach you for pats/cuddles. Cheers!

Kia ora! We are a community of people rescuing and rehabilitating ex-farm animals. We also work with wildlife and birds. We are looking for people, either single or couples, to come and join us for a minimum of 6 weeks. If you are the right fit there might be a more longer term place for you. Please only apply if you are vegetarian or vegan (you would be expected to eat vegan whilst at the sanctuary). We are hoping to find people who shares our commitment to animals and the environment and who we can connect with ethically. Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans/Queer+ friendly is essential. We have a lot of inquiries, so a priority is always given to activists and people with passion around the environment, human rights, animal rights and other social concerns. We consider ourselves feminists and anarchists. If you are a cis male person please only apply if you share these values. To finance the Sanctuary, we run 3 op-shops. As part of your volunteering with us you might occasionally be asked to he...

This is very much paradise. With goats, sheep, chickens and dogs there is always a something going on. It is a lifestyle property where chilling out is on the top of the list. We are located half way between Albany and Denmark and 5 minutes from the beach. There is surfing, fishing, hiking and bike riding. With great surf beaches, the Bibbulmun track, the Munda Biddy track and Cape Howe National Park right on our door step. Our place is a work in progress so always something to do. Perfect if you have a camper van. We do have a camper trailer that we can set up if needed. Own transport recommended. During the school term I travel in and out of Albany for work and happy to take you in for adventuring town. Happy for an hour or 2 each day of general gardening in return for a safe place to stay. Happy to discuss how we can help with your Australian adventure. Our home is like getting a big hug from the trees.
