The experience

As a volunteer in our project, we need help 1-2 hours a day doing light housekeeping and helping with reception. The wages earned cover your cost of accommodation and the rest of the day is yours to explore! Visit nearby Pancake Rocks and harvest some mussels for dinner. Tramp along the Great Paparoa Walk, kayak the Porarari River, and gaze at glow worms among friends. Make the beautiful west coast of New Zealand your home for a few weeks!
