WWOOF New Zealand

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to plan to stay a minimum of one week so you can get familiar with our procedures, locations and standards.  You need to be fit and prepared to get dirty (wwoofing) but also prepared to help with meals and household duties (not counted as part of wwoofing). If you have special dietary needs, we may not be able to accommodate you, but do get in touch and explain your situation so we can discuss it in advance. If you like large quantities of Nutella or a thick layer of jam on your morning toast, then you'll need to bring your own.  Tihana faces across the valley to Coromandel Forest Park, sea views and the Coromandel ranges. A kilometre of Te Mata River forms our northern boundary, with fabulous swimming holes. Twenty-seven bird species (10 seen during one cup of coffee!) An extensive library. Five hectares is covenanted native bush. Spring/Summer - preference is given to fit, climbing wwoofers for invasive weed eradication on very steep slopes, clambering through gorse, over fallen tree trunks, etc. so fitness and safety come first. We provide all protective equipment. Autumn/Winter - preparation of land and planting trees. Spring/Summer - vege garden and weed control in the bush. Lots of other jobs to choose from. If you come and join us, you'll be the latest of more than 550 wwoofers who have stayed and worked here over the past thirteen years. Note: No public transport to tourist spots so if you want to be a tourist you'll need a car.
