The Experience

Need help getting my rural Hawke’s Bay retreat ready for sale. It’s a peaceful spot with lovely views, private downstairs area. Tasks: mainly gardening (weather permitting), general upkeep and household chores. You’ll have a comfy private room, with shared kitchen/living room, flexible hours, plenty of good times: BBQs, bonfires, stargazing, and exploring the area. If you enjoy outdoors, hands-on work and good company, I’d love to hear from you.

Andre was an awesome host and has such a beautiful property! His dog is so sweet and very fun to play with. The tasks were easy to do and once you get them done, you have time to explore and hangout the rest of the day. It was cool to meet other volunteers and I enjoyed my time volunteering with Andre.
