Our small home and sleep out is located in urban Hokitika on the West Coast of the South Island. There is a lot to explore in this beautiful and lush part of the country. We grow as much food as we can in our garden and small green house. We have a second property nearby that we are slowly working away at in order to make more space for growing food. My partner is really inspired by the work of horticulturalist Charles Dowding and we practice his no dig and organic soil management teachings. My partner and I have a preschooler who is the delight of our days. We prioritize time with her and each only work 2-3 days per week. My partner is a carpenter and has recently finished building a spacious sleepout for our visitors. I am a midwife and work both in our community and at the hospital. Visiting with us looks like sharing delicious meals either at home or at the beach or lake as we enjoy taking meals outside. We will sometimes cook on the beach while my partner surf casts for kahawai ...

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 and some sheep along side many birds living in the local landscape. This winter we need help mainly with firewood, gardening, riparian planting and general help for an average of four hours 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.

Tēnā koutou, We are a French/Algerian/Kiwi family. We moved to the North of the South Island (Te Wai Pounamou) in 2023 and live on a four hectare property where there is lots to be done. Mathew is into agroecology, permaculture and conservation. He has experience running workshops and leading work groups. Rym is interested in Indigenous knowledge, community development and the disruption of the current economic system. We speak French and English at home. You would learn about the NZ rural lifestyle, agroecology and permaculture techniques, food conservation, pest control, and probably lots more. There are a range of tasks to be done, mainly gardening, fencing work, animal care (chickens and sheep) and fire wood cutting/stacking/moving. Possibly some small renovation tasks for those with the right skills. Tasks will depend on the season and what travellers are comfortable doing, as well as what they want to learn. An awesome 2 bedroom settlers cottage, which was built in the 1860s. It ...

Happy to host individuals or couples or can make arrangements if you are travelling as a small group of friends (or a family) - just let me know!

On street parking (free) available if you have a car or campervan. 2 cats live here. Sadly, the chickens have recent...

Jan & Marian, a Dutch couple in their 60sh, opened their (first and still only in NZ) Green-Care-Farm for day visitors living with mild dementia. Both of them are having a nursing background. They offer people living with with mild dementia happy days by using their long learned life skills to feel included and valued and respected. They are part of the Home4All family and together they 'work' in the garden or the workshop or the kitchen or looking after the animals. Therefore their family and carers can have a good time-out-day with peace of mind.

Hi, my name is Marianne. I live on a classic New Zealand "tree quarter acre section" on a north facing (all day sun) hobbit hill, looking down to Oamaru and from my kitchen window or climbing up the jungle hill behind the cottage, you can see the sea and watch the sunrise. A 10 minute stroll down Eden Street gets you either to the CBD or to the shoreline. I am providing three basic meals per day as well as a comfortable and quiet room for your stay and to relax after our daily four hours of working together "out there", somewhere on some befitting project. Five years of my absence have caused damages to house and garden physically and spiritually. In the effort to restore the above, I re-discovered HelpX for finding spirited support for all sorts of quirky and needed manifestations of beautiful visible and touchable things. Despite the incomplete, overgrown outside, with my freshly painted double bed guest room and a completely renovated lounge, I am happy to open my home again for s...

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...

A beach front section. Kayaking, body boarding, swimming and fishing available for guests. Accomodation and meals provided in exchange for four hours work a day. Gardening, housework, general household maintenance and painting could be requested. I can collect people from the end of the Taupo Bay road or Mangonui. My preference is for people to stay a week . Taupo Bay is quite a small community and no public transport is available so it is often easier to have your own transport. Certainly not essential as arrangements can be made for collection and support to get to your next destination. Many thanks for looking. Fran

We’re a busy family based in Te Puna, just 7 minutes from the nearest shops and 20 minutes from Tauranga city centre.

We prefer couples who are happy to get involved, contribute positively, and fit in well with our family and work environment. If you’re keen to learn, adaptable, and want...
