For those of you new to the concept … HelpX stands for the ‘Help in Exchange for Food and Accommodation’ program (you’ll find more at http://www.helpx.net)

A great opportunity to experience Kiwi country living in a relatively relaxed ‘working holiday’ style. Volunteers have there own room allowing them to enjoy complete privacy. We have cable TV and wireless Internet also linen and towels can be supplied.

There are no major rules or regulations to observe … but we ask that your room be kept clean and tidy at all times … and we prefer you don’t smoke indoors.

The tasks with which we need assistance are straightforward. Gardening is of major importance, particularly during Spring and Summer and this includes weeding, raking, planting, pruning and mulching.

Making beds, greeting guests, taking the dog for a walk can also be undertaken cleaning and general maintenance of the property may also be done

HelpX volunteers planning to use public transport to reach us, will find an excellent bus service operateing from just outside of the coach house

As far as free-time activities are concerned, there are a few from which to choose exploreing the local heritage area. Going to the local beach or a trip into Wanganui and all it offers. A lot of visitors just like to enjoy the garden, or find one of many areas to hole up and read a book.

Some volunteers have their own transport … and these will find many other interesting activities within easy reach.

So if … having read through our website … you decide our brand of Kiwi country-living appeals to you … and think you’d like to spend some time with us … either, click here to email Graham or complete our Volunteer Form. We’d be delighted to have you visit.
