Kia ora travelers! My home is in the middle of beautiful Honeymoon Valley, surrounded by native rainforest, birds and organic gardens. We build this earth house in the 1990s, using local clay and roof gardens, with lots of help from volunteers. We did a lot of 'woofing' ourselves, before settling here in the rural Far North, a very quiet area, to enjoy nature and remote living. The closest shop, the famous "Bush Fairy Dairy", is 7 km away, Taipa Beach 20 km, and Auckland 350 km towards south. I am part of the Honeymoon Valley landcare group (honeymoonvalleylandcare.org.nz). We protect native forest, birds, lizards and insects by trapping predators and eradicating invasive weeds. You can help with organic gardening: vegetables, flowers, herbs, fruit trees, landcare work, mowing, brush-cutting, compost-making, maintenance and fixing things (basic carpentry, painting), sewing, cleaning, chopping firewood, etc. I have chickens and a small goldfish pond ;-)) I cook mostly with vegeta...

We have an island retreat in Nelson (near Motueka) on 10 acres and a home in central Nelson. There is plenty to do with weeding, taking care of the garden and cutting grass. Our home near Motueka is on the beach. The ideal helper is self sufficient, detail oriented and a self starter. Our island retreat is about 100 metres off Port Motueka, then another kilometre along the beach facing Tasman bay and across from the Abel Tasman National Park. Our home in central Nelson is a 5 minute walk from down town. The work consists of gardening and general housekeeping. An average of about 4 hours work per day is sufficient. Recommend a week stay or more because of the logistics of getting you there and showing you around etc. There is a limited wifi that is sufficient for email, and internet. We will supply some but not all food. We usually have potatoes, oats, and bread and all condiments and coffee as well as olive oil. Lemons and limes are grown off the back deck. We encourage ...

We are a busy family on a five acre block which often needs work done on it. We are just on the outskirts of Christchurch. We have a small Bach in the mountains where The Lord of the Rings was filmed, so this maybe of interest to helpers. Liking animals would be preferable as we have horses, chickens, a dog and a cat. Our daughter has learning Spanish so Spanish speaking travellers, while not a requirement would offer her some practise. Meeting travelers from around the world will be of interest to us. Being able to help with some cooking, gardening and other jobs around the property is what we are looking for. We have two double rooms, one with an ensuite, the other with an adjacent bathroom.

Update, possible accommodation available for kiwifruit staff. My caravan is available, not fancy but clean & waterproof. I'm a beekeeper in need of assistance, either with the bees directly or not. I'm located 16km South of Te Puke on a property that has a back boundary of native forest. I'm usually able to host people at any time of year, but am busiest in the spring. I currently have building projects happening, as well as lots of painting, waxing new bee frames, and also hands on beekeeping for anyone who is keen. I also keep sheep and cattle on the property here, and hunt deer and pigs in the forest. These grass and forest fed animals form a large part of the menu here, so vegetarians probably won`t be happy with the diet. I cater to lots of herbivores and they all have hooves or paws. The accommodation is a spare room in the house. The house is a late 1800s villa in need of replacement, but it keeps the weather out and I find it comfortable. Housework isn't high on my priority ...

Kia ora guys, We live in a small west coast beach village about 35-40 minutes from central Auckland called Muriwai Beach. It is one of NZ`s most stunning and wildest beaches. We have a half acre section that always needs little things doing and the house is slowly being worked on as well so experience in building or skilled labour is always cool as well as people who like to work in the gardens and landscape. We have a daughter who is 11 years old who loves playing in the outdoors, tending her veggie garden and meeting people from all over the world. If you like the beach and the wild west coast then I`m sure you will love it out here. I work in the television and film industry while my partner is a a musician. Drop us a line and tell us a bit about yourself and maybe you can come out and share some of the magic that we feel living here. Cheers. Toby, Moana and Manawanui.

We have a separate little house 2km from our house for Helpers' accommodation in Kerikeri/Bay of Islands. It’s very cosy to live in and on the waterfront.

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...

My son Harry and partner Sarah (early 30’s) and their two kids Micah (3yr) and Sage (15mo) live next door so there would be some involvement with them and doing some t...

Welcome! My name is Robert I am hoping to find helpers to share and help create my home and garden. I live in an old home in a quiet setting near the ocean, 7km to Waipu Centre, which is 140km north of Auckland and 40km south of Whangarei.

There are wonderful beaches nearby ... I can sometimes give you a lift to town or the beach. The home is idyllically secluded so the space is as free as you want it to be.
